If you're willing to install what you need of a LaTeX distribution, I'll give you as much detailed instructions as I can for using it, at least for using it to do this. I could probably even help in writing a script or batch file that would make it relatively easy -- though since I don't use Windows anymore (--yuck!--) I might need some help in testing it. (A script that would work on linux or mac would be super-easy.)

Another option might be one of the online LaTeX compilers: then you wouldn't need to install anything (though you wouldn't be able to script either). When I get a chance (--a little busy right now--) I'll look at the available ones.

It is also possible to do this just using Ghostscript, but at least the way I know how to do, it would be trickier, since it would require hand-calculating the adjustment amount. (Well, that could probably be programmed as well, but I don't know enough about Windows batch files myself.)

Anywhere, here are that the attachments from the previous message above,
