[gs-devel] Help needed on ghostscript

Hi List,
	I am new to PS language and ghostscript.I want to develop an 
application which will take the output PS data and will show the 
preview of the Job.
My application should show the preview as it will be printed on the 
paper like the position of image in the
paper of different sizes(A4, US letter) rotation, orientation, N up 
pages. It will give WYSIWYG preview to the user.
It should show the image boundary and page boundary so that the user 
will have a feeling how exactly it can be printed.
I have downloaded MacGSView. If I select 2 pages per sheet, 2 copies in 
the print dialog, and save it as PS file and open it in GSView.
It does not show N up pages, orientation etc. The selections in the 
Print Dialog also inserts vendor specific PS keys for color management,
print as gray etc....So MacGSView cannot interpret those PS keys and 
hence can not display.
    I want to see the exact  preview of the job before printing . So I 
wan to develop this application.
I guess I need to write a plug-in for ghostscript viewer or need to 
modify it to get the result.
     I will highly appreciate if you can provide any help/direction .

Thanks & Regards,
Abhijit
