pstops can do things like that. It requires very thorough study of the
man page, and if the PS document is really shaky, your only option left
is to learn postscript (it is a computer language, not just a format)
and start debugging. If you can do that, you will be highly esteemed
in hacker circles (but probably have lost joy in life ;).
