I seriously doubt that ghostscript produces non-searchable PDFs all the time. I use HPT with lpr from out AS-400 (V4R3, also tested with V3R7) and ghostscript 6.50. The output is quite good and *searchable*. My filter actually looks like this: ---- #!/bin/sh OUTFILE=/var/tmp/as400topdf-`date +'%Y-%m-%d'`-$$ recode -f ibmpc..l1 | \ enscript --no-header -p- -q [EMAIL PROTECTED]/9.4 > $OUTFILE.ps ps2pdf $OUTFILE.ps $OUTFILE.pdf # TODO: we should get the userid sending the job and not make # everything world readable. chmod 644 $OUTFILE.pdf rm $OUTFILE.ps ---- The AS-400 OUTQ uses WSCST QSYS/QWPDEFAULT in order to get a simple ascii output without any ESC-sequences for various printer models. -- Esda Feinstrumpffabrik GmbH Frank Richter, Leiter EDV Hauptstr. 76, D-09392 Auerbach E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ This is the Linux 5250 Development Project (LINUX5250) mailing list To post a message email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To subscribe, unsubscribe, or change list options, visit: http://lists.midrange.com/cgi-bin/listinfo/linux5250 or email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Before posting, please take a moment to review the archives at http://archive.midrange.com/linux5250.
