Multiple pages in one postscript file

The following is one postscript file with 3 pages. (I don't know why page 4 doesn't show up).
And the file doesn't always give expected result.

  1. To combine multiple postscript files into one with separate pages, do following 2 simple steps:

    Step 1, near the beginning, add the following line for each page:
    %%Page: n n
    note n should be 1, 2, 3, 4...
    The location of this line might need adjust to take effect.

    Step 2 (Optional), if there is any, comment out the following line, usually at the end of the file.
    %%EOF
    For example, change %%EOF to %%%EOF
