Last week someone asked if there was a program to print specific pages
from a (conforming) postscript document. It is called PSOPT and it
allows you to make several transformations on Adobe Transcript psroff
generated postscript. You can:
- select specific pages
- change to landscape mode (.ll 9i and .pl 8.5i)
- put the word "Draft" across the page in lt gray
- put the word "Confidential" across the page in lt gray
- reduce and enlarge output
- set the manual feed flag for the current document
You can have your very own copy by sending a request to:
uunet!pyrdc!mark
Please use the program and if you make changes or improvements, return
them to me so we can include them in future editions.

I just wanted to say that there exists psdraft, a Unix(tm) shell script which prints any word in outline format diagonally across the page, for virtually any PostScript(tm) file. It was posted a long time ago to the `info-postscript' mailing list, and I don't know if it was cross-posted or even if comp.lang.postscript existed at that time. If people want, I can post it (I believe that it's short). -- Ralph P.

I ocassionaly find I have a massive postscript file, and
only want to print selected pages out of it. For example
say I want to print the last 20 pages only.
Does anyone have a simple way to do this.

Along these lines, I would like to know if anyone has written a tool for the Macintosh (or Unix for that matter) which will allow you to use the 2.1 Document Structuring Convention comment information to print selected pages of a PS document, show which fonts are used, resources, etc. It seems like this would be a mind-numbingly useful thing to have. If it doesn't exist already, I may very well ask my boss if I might add this project to my workload.. Anyone? >Ken Mandelberg | km@mathcs.emory.edu PREFERRED Jonathan Abbey | I state only for myself, jonabbey@ccwf.cc.utexas.edu (512) 926-5934 | but I may inquire on the The University of Texas at Austin - CS Undergrad | behalf of others.
