PDF-Forms is a service provided by PDFzone.com | http://www.pdfzone.com/ __________________________________________________________________
The setpagedevice only works with postscript, and the implementation is device specific. It does work on Xerox production printers. Trray switches are not supported in pdf. Period. If you have a Xerox 6xxx with a DocuSP front end (not sure about DocuPrint), you can pre-pend Xerox comments to the pdf file. This directs the printer to use those characteristics for that job. Here is an example of some that we use in front of pdf files %XRXbegin: 001.0300 %XRXPDLformat: PDF-1.4 %XRXsenderName: MAKEPDF %XRXrecipientName: MAKEPDF XRXbinding: None %XRXedgeStitching: None %XRXbookletMaker: False %XRXrequirements: collated %XRXxImageShift: 0 %XRXyImageShift: 0 %XRXdisposition: PRINT %XRXsignature: False %XRXdocumentPaperColors: white %XRXpaperType-opacity: opaque %XRXpaperType-weight: 75 %XRXcopyCount: 337 %XRXpaperType-preFinish: BIE 0 0 %XRXpaperType-size: 216 279 %XRXrequirements: duplex %XRXmessage:Trim to use BI3E and insert into OE3E envelope %XRXaccount: 12print_A375 %XRXend %PDF-1.4%���� -----Original Message----- From: Todd Kueny [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, January 09, 2004 5:02 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PDF-Forms] embedding duplex command directly into a PDF PDF-Forms is a service provided by PDFzone.com | http://www.pdfzone.com/ __________________________________________________________________ You have several choices for commercial B/W 6XXX/91XX-type equipment. 1) You can use SPD (setpagedevice) commands embedded as PostScript in PostScript XObjects to control low level device characteristics of the printer. This does not work on the 9110 series of equipment because PS XObjects are not supported. 2) You can use KDK or XRX commands prepended to the front of the job. 3) You can create different page sizes and set up a job ticket to trigger proper drawer selection based on page size. This has been discussed in pdf-dev forum on numerous occasions. Please no "SPD is bad" flames - this is what works commercially.
