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.
