Opening the very (.ps) file in Illustrator CS5

Hi all

I'm trying to open a very (.ps) file in Illustrator, and my problem is that I can access only the first page of the file very. I would like to see all the pages that follow as well.

The .ps file is generated by a program called Psimpoll (a diagram pollen graphing program), and if I use CorelDraw, I can access all the pages, so I know that the .ps file contains all the information...

Can someone help me? Thanks in advance!

It's strange. Illustrator seems to be the * only * program that can open these files and honor the actual text, everyone is totally ignore him, substituting garbage (random characters), or replace by glyphs "undefined". But Illustrator is * also * the only program that does not allow access to page 2!

Here's a rather crude solution, who nevertheless * fact * work: split the file into its separate pages, each with its own Postscript % header and %% trailer. I wrote a Javascript script to do this in Illustrator and the boy! It's slow! but it does the job. It's a little too big to post online for comfortable copying, so you can download it from my web site: http://www.jongware.com/binaries/extractPsPages.zip

(Compressed on my Mac; Windows users, please forgive Apple for putting in a load of Mac OS x only data. All you need is the real .jsx file.)
