[comp.lang.postscript] How can I merge 2 postscript images?

dtb@adpplz.UUCP (Tom Beach) (05/14/91)

I'm developing a complex image for a client. The application requires
both graphics and text which are combined. Normally that's not too
difficult. Microsoft word imports EPS images and puts text around them
just fine. 

In this case however the text MUST fall inside the graphic. Imagine the
graphics as a complex frame for the text and you'll have the idea.

For the draft copies I've been running the paper through the printer
twice. Once for the graphic and again to add the text. This does work
but it seems as though I should be able to edit the two files together
to produce a single postscript source which will combine the two images.
I'm concerned because eventually this will need to be printed in quantity
and I'm not interested in paying for two printing passes.

You may email to me or post responses. I do read this newsgroup!
If there is any interest I will post a summary of mailed responses!

Thanks in advance for any and all assistance!!!
