What is the best approach to do this?
The best approach is probably to use some tool/library that understands
postscript.
Just to this: I disagree. IIRC, there's no such thing as '/Title' etc in
PostScript - these will all be PostScript functions defined by whatever made
the document. So a generic tool won't have any way to extract semantics like
titles from a document.
The OP presumably has the specific output of a particular tool with this nice
well structured postscript, so he needs to write his/her own special parser.
