in reply to Parsing Postscript

If you install ghostscript, it will install a script called ps2ascii that executes the ps with gs and outputs the text of it. Only the text, no other info. It may give better or worse results, depending on the ps file: it works reasonably with plain English text in the ps, but not with maths formulae or international characters.
