Hi all It's hard to do this in postscript. I know a LaTeX way though. You said it was from a PDF. Use the PDF directly. Include it into a latex doc (myfile.tex) using \includepdf then write over the top of it using a picture environment to get an exact placement for your text. When you run pdflatex myfile.tex you will get a file myfile.pdf that will contain the ticket and your text. Below is the latex doc to use.
% Run this as pdflatex myfile.tex \documentclass{article} \usepackage{pdfpages} \begin{document} \includepdf[pages={1,2}]{some.pdf} % Now place your text. \begin{picture}(0,0) \setlength{\unitlength}{1mm} \put(1,2){Your text} \put(1,4){More text} \end{picture} \end{document} If you need help with this I can do a run for you as a test.
