can you load the pdf-file into some viewer, e.g. Acrobat Reader?

Unix-Version of Acrobat Reader automatically converts to PostScript
when printing, so you could also save the output to a file, if you
need to...)
If that doesn't work, I would offer that you send me the first
1500 bytes of your PS-file that doesn't work (please not the
whole file :-)) and I have a closer look at it. Then I might find
out what the problem is, and whether we can fix the corrupted file
manually.
(preferably send it to me privately, not to the list)
