Hi List,
   I want to develop an application which will take the output PS data 
and will show the preview of the Job.
Preview from the File Menu, does not show the exact preview of the job 
like N up pages, rotation, orientation.
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.
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 MacGSViewer or need to modify it 
to get the result.
Any pointers how can I go about this ?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Best Regards,
Abhijit
