We think we have a way to achieve what you need, but it relies on the
DELAYBIND feature which, unfortunately, was inadvertently broken in 9.27
(possibly, in truth, earlier than that).

I thought this (DELAYBIND) was going to be a fairly easy issue to , but
it turns out to be decidedly not the case, and it's taking longer than
expected.

NOTE: it's not a simple replacement of your current GS_PDF_ProcSet based
solution: it will mean a small change to how gs in invoked, and changes
to the Postcript you send to gs. We'll do our best to help you get the
changes done.

The advantage is, this should be more secure and more stable for the
future (hopefully!).
