I have a related request: Can I annotate either the first page or all
pages with the file name of the PostScript file being printed?
Mmm... I have seen that done with ascii files... interesting.
Let's generalize, then. How to add arbitrary strings? File name, page
number, date of printing...
I don't know how to do this with PS files. I would convert them to
PDF and then add the strings there. Owing to the encapsulation by
xobjects, PDF is much better structured and thus better suited to
add typeset material to pages later on. To print it, converting
back to PS is a snap.
Either with pdfTeX (using the LaTeX package pdfpages) for those who
use TeX anyhow. (Being a member of the LaTeX team, that describes
my situation pretty well. :-) Works great and has the advantage
that one can also scale and rotate. For those with an installed TeX
system, use "texdoc pdfpages" to get documentation.
Or with a small Perl script that uses PDF::Reuse. As long as one
stays with the 14 standard PDF fonts, this is a very good quick
solution. If you want to try this road, I can post more information.
