I don't think 'showpage' is the problem.  My experience with pageview
is that it works only on (a) one-page files, or (b) files which
conform to the Adobe Document Structuring conventions.  It uses the
structuring comments to select a single page to be imaged; without the
comments, it never finds page boundaries so it overlays all the pages.
