(I apologize if you get two copies of this email)

I am happy to hear about the improvements to TXT2PDF, and
I certainly hope they prove helpful to other members of the
community.

Unfortunately, for me it is too late. When we
were going to a PDF solution to printing expenses, we could
not get Hebrew documents to work, so we ended up purchasing
a PC solution, with which I will say I am quite happy.
We LPR documents via RSCS to a network server running
RPM (an LPD product) which passes the output to OCTOtools
(from jbmsystems.com) PDF converter. Based on various
criteria, it either stores the file and creates an email
with a link, or attaches the PDF and mails it to the
end user.

We were particularly happy with the help we got in getting
it set up, which required creating special fonts that would
print Hebrew from left to right, as it appears on MF output,
rather than MS fonts which klobbered our data by reversing
all of the Hebrew.

The solution was obviously more expensive than Leland's,
but far cheaper than what is accepted (and expected)
as MF software charges.

Shalom,
Shimon

P.S. Leland: I could not open the attached file you sent me.
