After some research, I think I have found a possible solution ! :)
I discovered the poppler library (in my case, the Glib front end), which
permit, inter alia, to obtain the position of each letter in a page.
With this information and some other given by this library, I think I
can realize a

Weighing in on this one...

Hi jkl,
I would think with a little work you could use ImageMagick to extract
the margin regions from each page, and check each one for the presence
of pixels.
One could over-print all the pages onto one page.
man -t bash | pstops 100:0$(printf '+%d' {1..99}) one.ps

Hello,
My question is not directly linked to Groff, but I don't know where to ask it
and I think I have better chance to get answers on this mailing list.
Is there a solution to get the margins of a Postscript document, like the page

Is there a solution to get the margins of a Postscript document, like
the page offset value on Groff ?
Tell us why you want to know and it may help those with suggestions.
:-)
Cheers, Ralph.
Thank for your reply. :)
Here is the context : I'm student in Law and next year
I will have to write a memorandum. Nevertheless, this memorandum must be in MS
Word format which displease me greatly. This format is imposed to verify if we
respect the instructions, and especially the margins.

Ghostscript can report the bounding-box for the ink laid on each page.
Thanks for this trick, it works well for getting left and right margin. :)
Nevertheless, I realized that there is an annoying problem for the top and
bottom margin.
