I have written a C++ program to generate multi-page PS file, and it reads raw data(strings) from database table and graphics file(s) from local drive and then generates PS file with all necessary resources. While generating main PS file I copy the eps file contents and put them in main PS file. As my EPS files are big in size and repeated several times on multiple pages ( for example background graphics) and the copying of eps to PS is taking lot of time and bloats main PS file size. Is there any other way to create main PS file without copying the eps file repeatedly? I mean I would like to copy each file type only once to main PS file and then reference that section(copied EPS content) in main PS file. I looked at “Encapsulated PostScript File Format Specification”(http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/ps/ 5002.EPSF_Spec.pdf’) and could not figure out how to do it.

Check the Acumen Journal from January and April 2007 http://www.acumentraining.com/acumenjournal.html It describes how to store data as a resource that can then be used multiple times in a document.
