In general, modifying PS files is a difficult or impossible task for
an experierenced PostScript programmer. But in some cases - where you
are dealing with PostScript from one source ONLY, this can be fairly
simple, especially if you are happy for it to fail some of the time.

If you have to deal with PS from all over, you need to consider
working with a PS interpreter to deliver this information/function.
If it is just one source

1. Create a file with an unusual number of copies and search the file
for that count (<255). Look for the context.  

2. If the file is DSC compliant, you can use the %%Page and other
comments to filter out pages.
