Parsing postscript file

Hi.

To extract Purchase Order number from postscript file after Cristal Report 8.5 in current environment (Windows 2003 (32 bit.), Cristal report 8.5)

we re parsing this file with gawk/awk and renaming file using this number, as result Vendor will receive .pdf file named as PO number.

Same task for Cristal Report 11.5 fails (Windows 8 (64 bit), Cristal Report 11.5, Virtual printer Apple(or HP), gawk/awk does not work.

Could you please let us know what technology we can use to extract this information now.

Thanks.

This image below shows the string we are looking for in good/old postscript file (Cristal Report 8.5).

Postscript file form CR 11.5 does not have this section at all, neither we can not find requested string at all

(looking in ASCI).

When we reconvert PS file from CR 11.5 with ps2txt.exe we can find something relative to our numbers but we are not sure if this is only way.

Thanks.
