I am using a printer driver which uses Pscript5.dll for conversion to postscript. I have few queries

1) Is there a way that from postscript file we can get information of the application(like Ms-word, Notepad, Acrobat etc ) which resulted in ps file.

2) Is there a way that we can get file format information from postscript file ?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks & Regards
Abhinav

Point 1: From the ps file you can able to get the application from which the ps has been created.

"Open the PS with any editor and find the word 'creator' - This will give the application details"

Point 2: I think from PS you can't able to get the file format information.

Thanks sankarmani, i was eagerly waiting for someone to reply.

1) The Creator comment gives information of the application which created the postscript file like PScript5.dll Version 5.2.2 in my case, not the Application from which print was fired like Ms-word, Notepad, Pdf etc.

Even if we print from Adobe pdf printer to a ps file the following information is contained in ps.
%%Creator: PScript5.dll Version 5.2.2

2)I want to know is there a way to know whether printed file was a image file or not like jpg,png,bmp,tiff etc. from the postscript file.
