We currently compose and print variable data transactional files. Our print file is a post script file created by Group1's DOC1 composition software.

Group1 now owned by Pitney Bowes also offers a software that works in conjunction with a journal file to selectively extract x pages and convert them to an image or pdf for web view. This software unfortunately is not economically an option for us.

In their post composition software which we use, we select pages based on a vector variable that we aquire in a journal file when we create the postscript file.

I am wondering how we can simulate this ourselves using something like PHP or.... so we can archive the postscript file and select extract and serve pages to authorized users.

Has anybody had to deal with this.
