Take a look at www.amyuni.com/pdfpd.htm -- their various kits (printer drivers) for
doing PDFs, RTFs, etc. via desktop and web-based apps.

Subject:PDFs, Linotronic PS Drivers, Forms and Adobe Licensing
So this guy says to me. It's be cool if ...
I think I heard some comments on using Adobe Distiller on an Internet Server
is in violation of the Adobe license for Distiller? Is this true?
Here is what I am thinking.
We create a basic site with an info centre to post how to's and help etc. We
have downloads for people to use, basically we'll kick start a community
driven file sharing centre. The documents available for download will be
document design templates in the myriad of available formats, quark, word,
whatever.
We want to be able to create a printable format document and have decided on
PDF. We want to dynamically generate the print document on the server, as a
proof to the creator, and as a distributable print document to the digital
printer. And also include a basic work docket as well, type of paper,
shipping information etc.
More or less, without actually seeing it work is to output to a common post
script format (created using a free linotronic PS driver?) to be uploaded to
the server using a form. Distiller can be used to watch the upload
directory, and automatically create the PDF. After creation, a ticket is
sent to the creator to approve the PDF for printing. Once approved we
distribute to the printer for printing.
So
Question 1: What are the licensing issues regarding the use of Distiller on
a public Server?
Question 2: Performance?
Question 3: Other Alternatives?
Question 4: Current examples of people doing something similar.
Question 5: Is there a way to programmatically enhance the print driver to
automatically post the PS to the Internet Server? Other Alternatives?
Implementations?
Thanks
Eric
