There is a program that does this. It comes as part of some other package.
Trouble is, I forget which one. I found it within the past six months
and my most likely guess is with ghostscript (GNU software). Sorry it's
not much help to you but at least you know now that you don't have to
write something yourself. If you don't get an answer from someone else
I can dig into my brain or archives to find it.
