Stamping Text on an Image File
Hi all, again, I have lots of questions I guess. This one should be easier though
. I have a goal to be able to put some preformatted text into a template (which is now a tiff file, but can be changed) and then output it to a printer. Right now we're thinking PostScript might work or some super PDF thing. We also thought that using a printer filter might work.
I was wondering if any of you knowledgable people knew of any PDF type things, where we could stamp the text onto a specific X,Y coordinate of the template or a good source of information for either the PostScript or the filters.
I did find some things, but they are way over budget for what we have to do this for. We tried using ImageMagick to write over everything, but it took up too many system resources.
Like before, thanks for the advice and hopefully I'll stop bugging you guys sometime.

ps2ascii
PS2ASCII(1) Ghostscript Tools PS2ASCII(1)
NAME
ps2ascii - Ghostscript translator from PostScript or PDF to ASCII
SYNOPSIS
ps2ascii [ input.ps [ output.txt ] ]
ps2ascii input.pdf [ output.txt ]
DESCRIPTION
ps2ascii uses gs(1) to extract ASCII text from PostScript(tm) or Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) files. If no files are specified on
the command line, gs reads from standard input; but PDF input must come from an explicitly-named file, not standard input. If no output
file is specified, the ASCII text is written to standard output.
ps2ascii doesn't look at font encoding, and isn't very good at dealing with kerning, so for PostScript (but not currently PDF), you might
consider pstotext (see below).
FILES
Run "gs -h" to find the location of Ghostscript documentation on your system, from which you can get more details.
