Here's mine: 1. From word, print to HPII printer as a file, save the .prn file to local pc file. 2. Using accuterm, import file to universe as hex (required several mods to the kermit import programs to allow FF and write the hex). 3. Print to printer (or hold file for PDF's) as a cached macro (download once, assign macro number and use macro after) stripping off leading and trailing bytes (43 leading, 3 trailing) and handling the printing of hex print iconv(string, MX): in the image file. By doing it this way, we also have an option to convert the hold file to PDF and email it (using blat for windows) instead of printing it using the visual software (PCL to PDF) also mentioned in this thread. Just another approach to consider. -Troy -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mark Johnson Sent: Tuesday, January 04, 2005 5:23 AM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: [U2] UV Pre-printed forms One of my clients would like to replace their pre-printed forms with those generated by the system. Basically the form has been re-created in MS Publisher and saved as a PRN file. I understand that there is some magic to send the form, keep the job open and then send the data for the form. This will most likely be HP PCL per my insistence but there maybe some Canon network printers brought into the mix. UV AIX RS-6000.

RE: [U2] UV Pre-printed forms
I did something similar for one of my clients. Again this used RTF with merge fields, then had a VB program sitting on a PC spooling documents by controlling Word as an automation source. The program used a UniObjects connection to poll for new documents to print and for the name of the destination printer from a control file, and then pushed each one out in order. It was a simple way to do it.

Basically the form has been re-created in MS Since no one else mentioned it, what we do is: 1. Create form in Word and save it as a .RTF file. Put 'tags' (just ASCII text like 'FNAME') into the form elements you want to fill with data. Use any font and formatting you like. 2. Put the .RTF file where you can get at it from UV Basic. 3. In your program, open the .RTF template and do a search and replace for your tags. Stream the output to a new sequential file with an .RTF extension. 4. Use DDE or other method to get Word to print the document.

Re: [U2] UV Pre-printed forms
My email was down for several days - now that it is up, I will reply. One of my clients need something similar, but when switching from ADV PICK on SCO to UniVerse on Win2K. I set them up with the REFORM spooler. Reform will take the output and put it on a predefined overlay. The docs say it will work with Unix, the only caveat is that Reform, itself, only runs on Windows. http://www.fabsoft.com/ I am a reseller of their product, but consultants can easily become resellers.
