RE: Re Text File to PDF
Tony, Thanks for the idea. In my project, I already have the PCL'ized reports done. I've used pcl2pdf before and it creates a nice (small) PDF file ready for viewing or emailing. regarding my earlier comments re active fax ... I checked with the www.actfax.com folks last night and they said they would have a leaner pcl to pdf 'text' version later this year. -Original Message- From: Tony Gravagno [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 30, 2004 11:53 PM To: 'U2 Users Discussion List' Subject: RE: Re Text File to PDF Troy Buss wrote Otherwise its back to pcl2pdf ( www.visual.co.uk/pcl2pdf.html ) and blat for this other project I'm working on.

RE: Text file to PDF
Trevor, We have used a utility called 'txt2pdf' since 1999 and it has worked and performed very well. It integrates well and is quite reasonably priced. Look for it at www.sanface.com (By the way, we receive no gratuities/royalties for this suggestion.) Lee J Messenger Sr VP Operations [EMAIL PROTECTED] DLT Transportation Services, Inc.

RE: Text file to PDF
Trevor, We have many reports that are converted to .pdf and emailed daily without any intervention. We user Pcl2pdf software from Visual Software. Te product is very inexpensive. All you need to remember is the -lt:2 option on the command line.

RE: Re Text File to PDF
I've used active fax from www.actfax.com with good results for faxing. However, while investigating usage as a large report PDF emailer, it generates huge PDF files since the content is converted to a graphic. 7 pages is 714kb. Whereas using PCL2PDF the file is 14KB. Does VSI-FAX or other pdf-enabled email/fax solutions handle the PDF conversion as text instead? Otherwise its back to pcl2pdf ( www.visual.co.uk/pcl2pdf.html ) and blat for this other project I'm working on. Thanks! -- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.oliver.com/mailman/listinfo/u2-users

Troy Buss wrote Otherwise its back to pcl2pdf ( www.visual.co.uk/pcl2pdf.html ) and blat for this other project I'm working on. Hey Troy, long time bud. Hope all is well. I have code here that I haven't had time to fully productize it yet. Very simply you populate a variable with substitution strings, and pass it to a routine that generates an HTML page, PDF, or PostScript. It's all clean BASIC code, there's no funky printer/device-specific escape sequences (PCL or PS) and you can change the report layout independently from the app code. Using a similar set vars and call a subroutine interface, you can also e-mail the resulting files - no SendMail, Outlook, or other mail client or server code required. All of this will work over Windows or Linux (Blat is great but it doesn't work over Linux). I'll be porting this to U2 within the next couple weeks. So far there is one happy client that's been using it over D3 for several months. I think they'll provide a good reference if asked.

Trevor, We have a product which will let you do this (and much much more) all from within UniVerse without any operating system or external dependencies. You can convert your reports in BASIC or from TCL, create sequentially if your input is large, squash wide format down to A4 add graphics, support NLS etc etc. Go to www.cross.net.au/pdf.asp for a look and to request a trial version or mail me offlist if you would like to look into it further. regards, Craig -- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.oliver.com/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
