I have 10 ps files with one A4 page inside each. 
I need to create a new PS file that call the 10 files, put them in A3 page and rotate it 90 degrees. 
I already know how to do it with EPS files, but I'm not able to overrdire the setpagedevice inside each ps files. 
Thank's 
Luca

Victor, 
I'm doing a software that: 
1 look inside a directory for PS files 
2 when I have 10 of it i need to print them togheter in order to use the duplexing capabiliteis of my printer. 
My ideas is to write a new ps file like this: 
%!PS 
(1.ps) run 
..... 
(10.ps) run 

This works fine, but I need also to move every single page in the middle of the paper.

Luca, 

Where do those files come from? What are the settings, e.g. fonts etc.? There are quite a lot of complications. 

If you want to, you could strip offending codes from the PS files and encapsulate them. Rotating and placing them into a PS template would then be quite a cinch I suppose, compared to the algorithm you propose. 

Of course, I'm not really a pro in this area. Hopefully the REAL experts can be of more help! 

Regards, 
Victor Lee.

Victor, 
I don't have any complication about settings and fonts. My PS files contains only bitmaps @ 200dpi-CMYK. 
And because this files are big, I don't want to open and change them. It would take too much time. 
However thankyou for your help. 
Luca
