Is there a way to extract text information from a postscript file? (.ps.eps)

Question

I want to extract the text information contained in a postscript image file (labels for axis labels). These images were generated using pgplot. I tried ps2ascii and ps2txt on Ubuntu, but they did not produce useful results. Does anyone know of another method?

thank

Pgplot probably painted the fonts in the text directly using strings, not text. Moreover, pgplot is designed to output to a huge range of devices, including plotters, where you will need to do this.
