Correct answer Dr.Adam

Your PostScript is faulty, you cannot use tools which are designed to work with DSC compliant PostScript. So it is not knowledge of the tools which is at fault.


remove the showpage  command  U1 before %%Page: 3 3

and just add

0 -72 4 mul translate  after the line %%Page: 3 3

If you want to automate this process you can by redefining the showpage

I've never used these tools but I believe they just split files based on DSC comments. This file is not DSC compliant: it is a particularly bad file because it starts with the %!PS-Adobe-3.0 comment which should only be used when it is DSC compliant.

I didn't understand your point!

You want to merge the 2nd and 3rd pages by removing the page break between them or simply put them together as two up ?

Both solutions are possible - of course the first is easier

Let me know and I will post it here

Cheers

Thanks for Responding Sir,

If you will see the first Page for the sample file I have uploaded, its the main bill Page. I want to keep the first page as It is.

The second Page has a very liitle data and lot of white space is left afterwards.

So I want that The 3rd Page be shifted after the contents of 2nd Page are being printed. There may be a demarcation line between the Data of two pages , if possible will be more good.

What are other alternatives avaliable ? I tried a lot to understand Post script/PS NUP etc  but could not work it out.

Kinldy Guide in detail , I am New to all these.

Regards

Harsh
