| | | 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

EEEEE... make that

    ftp.digi.com/support/legacy/digi/utilities/digifax/released/2.8/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.
