Overlay two postscript files (command line approach)?

Question

I\'m aware that similar questions have been answered here before:

Answer 1

A similar approach to KenS's would be to put the "composition" code in a single file and call the component files with the run operator. It amounts to the same thing but with a little less shell-work. A limitation is that the -dSAFER option (which is ON by default in most Distiller installations) disables the run operator.

combo.ps:

/Oldshowpage /showpage load def
/showpage {} def
gsave
    (tmp-Front.ps) run
grestore
    %additional scaling and translation to place the graphic?
    (logo.ps) run
Oldshowpage
