Postscript cannot usually be translated to ASCII text since it's a generalized graphics representation. You're better off generating straight ASCII text to start with. You could write a little routine to parse the POstScript and extract all the straight-text strings (they're usually enclosed in parentheses) but that falls short of what you've asked for.
