You can tell by looking at it.  The Document Structuring Convention
consists of specific contents in the postscript files.  If the vendor has
followed the guidelines, every postscript document that follows the DSC
has the following first line:

%!PS-Adobe 3.0


Yep, got that!  Well, I get an extra dash: %!PS-Adobe-3.0

%%BeginProlog

<then a bunch of stuff>

%%EndProlog

The %BeginProlog and %%EndProlog comments are important.


Yep, got these too!

But even more
important in your case are is the %%Page comment.  A DSC postscript file
will have the %%Page comment at the beginning of each page.  By using
these comments you can write a post-processor program which spits out any
page you like (and can then convert it to PDF).


Yep, got "%%Page".  Our format is:
%%Page: C1-003458191 4
where C1 is our form type, the 9-digit number following that is a policy
number, and the '4' is the page number.

So, then, what's involved to do this?  Are you talking RPG, Java, ???
