Our company developed a software package to solve this problem.
Unfortunately, it uses the capabilities of Level 2 PostScript. Since Unisys
has laid claim to the patent for LZW compression and demands a hefty fee, we
are not selling the product. As a highly niche piece of software, we have no
expectation of recouping the one-time fee for incorporating this technology.
If anyone at Unisys reads this and has influence, so that we could simply
pay a fee per copy sold, please reply.
The software works beautifully to solve your problem.
