P.S. -I ended up doing this by defining the number of pages within the .ps file itself, right after the initial comments, like so:
/NumberOfPages {17} def
Since, I can "touch" these .ps files, this is easier than attaching the page count to the external file, as I would then have to parse to find it.
Also, by reinitializing NumberOfPages to 1 after each call, I don't have to "touch" any .ps file with less than 3 pages (Since I'm actually looking for odd pages, which would be the face-up sides of a duplexed set -which is where I want to place the OMR marks).
