“pdftk multistamp”-like utility for Postscript?

Question

Is there a utility for Postscript files doing the same thing as "pdftk multistamp" for pdf files?

I'm searching for a solution without a ps to pdf conversion, because I'm afraid of a loss of data during the conversion, either in document quality, or things like "output paper tray" information. Maybe I'm wrong, and these informations are preserved during the conversion?

Answer 1

Basically, no, there is no such utility. You can get the same effect by defining a BeginPage or EndPage procedure, however.

Note that any conversion (even from PostScript to PostScript) is likely to lose device-dependent information such as tray selection.

Answer 2

Use ghostscript. Its available for most major operating systems.
