I have found some more interesting facts: In order to create PDF files comparable to those generated from Adobe Acrobat 4 or 5, you'll have to make the Windooze generate input jobs for the server as PostScript 3 files.
The server is really doing a very good job, but as allways, shit in generates shit out, so you'll have to use a combination of: The latest Adobe PostScript Driver for your OS, for example "PostScript Printer Driver AdobePS 4.2.6 for Windows 95 and Windows 98 -- U.S. English" http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/printerdrivers/win/4.x/drivers/aps426eng.exe and: An appropriate "PPD" file (Adobe Printer Driver) http://www.adobe.com/products/printerdrivers/winppd.html (or, if you have some machine with Adobe Acrobat Distiller installed, you would find the file Adistill.ppd or even better Adist4.ppd somewhere there...) Using this combination as client based "driver" for the network based "printer" enables you to generate Postscript 3 compatible input files for the ps2pdf13 or whatever you use on the server. .I'll be back next week with a "How-To", but this is all the time I had available right now. _____ Lasse Les Mikesell wrote: > > Why not put them under the user's home directory or > mail them back as attachments?
