I have a post script file of two pages.  Page Number 1 is the Bill and Page two is the detail about the Bill. If one could see that there is enough Space in the box on Page one in which details of page 2 can be accomodated so that there is minimum paper wastage.

So, using a program I reprocessed Page No. 2 deleted my unwanted Data and tried to fit it inside Box of Page Number 1.

For some of PS files , I got success. But for some I am wondering that no image is displayed even I have placed the all the text before U1 (show command of Page Number-1).

Kindly Guide, where I am going wrong. What else insertion would be required to display the text of page on page 1

Here’s my original PS file for which I am getting problem.

Here is a PS file Which I reprocessed and got success

PostScript is a programming language, and a PostScript file is a program. So editing is entirely possible, if you are prepared to spend the time to learn the programming language in detail.

I can tell you that this fragment means nothing by itself. The names w, x, L are not part of the PostScript language. They will be procedures defined above. A program can take a lot of unravelling and understanding, even for a very experienced PostScript programmer.
