I don't have GhostScript installed on Azumi (lack of need, lack of 
space) but it was installed on the other machine and not only was it 
quite useful for opening and resaving PDFs (could knock off quite a bit 
in filesize without quality loss), it was also extremely capable with 
.ps files. Indeed, IIRC the last issue of Frobnicate was printed as a 
PostScript file using OP's direct postscript output, which was fed to 
GhostScript to convert to a PDF...

Best wishes,
