I wouldnt mind a PDF version of QLT. Sorry for wading in here, but I
seem to recall that Calamus could output Postscript or that you could
get Atari postscript printer drivers that work with Calamus. (Mind
you, I havnt touched the program for 15 years) One of the selling
points was that it was a "professional" program and you could send
your stuff to the printers on a floppy.. Otherwise Tobias Froeschle's
idea sounds hopefull.
Per, all,
Even if I personally prefer any printed matter to .PDFs, (There's simply
places you won't take your computer for reading...), another word on that:
if I recall it right (It's been years since I have last used Calamus)
the in-built PS driver did _not_ do the RIPping, but instead relied on
Calamus to send already pixelized data - I'm afraid we'd (again) end up
with huge, unsearchable bitmaps, something wich is barely an improvement
upon simple scanning.
Opposed to that (also from limited memory) Bridge Pro, went in /before/
the actual image processing and should be able to export much smaller,
and also searchable files.
A bit of searching reveals _this_ (German, unfortunately):
http://www.calamus.net/modules/bri.php
(It's not free, but Jochen mentioned he'd be willing to support the
maintenance of that software... ;-) Ideally, he'd find some other
supporters in the QL Toady audience, I guess)
Cheers
Tobias
