seeking advice on drawing rectangles on a form using filepro 5.8

[Jose Lerebours]

If all else fails, let me know ... we can work something out using my 
API Services


What it does:

Use cURL to send a text document and get back a PDF


What it could do:

- Setup templates so that when a document is sent, it is laid over a 
template
- Return the PDF document
- eMail the PDF document
- Print to printer access via WWW on public IP (of course, you handle 
the port redirection on your end)
- Produce any document imaginable using PDF (Invoices, PO, Reports, 
Checks, Labels, etc.)


cURL commands off CLI is pretty simple; you should be able to print your 
report and pipe it to a shell script that would handle the entire thing.

A solution for just about every printing need out of filePro without 
having to re-write your application nor existing reports/forms (with 
some exceptions of course).


Regards,
