| | What are you guys/gals using to create PDF documents from filePro
| | applications?
| |
| | SCO Unix based ... !!!
|
| pcl6 .... does NOT handle the line-drawing characters that you might
| use in your fP output table to draw lines or boxes.  I'm still trying
| to solve that one.

And I have now solved it.  An old called faxjet was provided with
the long defunct Arnet faxboards.  It does convert the line drawing
characters.  I had been using it solely for a customer who once did have
an Arnet board, and thus had a license for this software.

But now I find that the necessary shell scripts, binaries and support
files are downloadable without so much as a by-you-leave from:

  ftp.digi.com/support/legacy/digi/utilities/digifax/released/2.8,I/faxjet.01z

Faxjet will convert a PCL file to a TIFF file, suitable for immediate
faxing, or for further conversion with programs from libtiff, e.g.,
tiff2pdf or tiff2ps.
