Re: Sending Faxes through Cold Fusion
Where i work, we have a faxserver. To send faxes, we create either RTF or PDF attachments and then do CFFILE write, to the faxserver. Basically we write to the faxservers "control" file. It takes certain parameters, such as the Destination Fax Number, and Attachment. The attachment is the RTF or PDF we generate. The faxserver should come with instructions on what its control file requires.

I had to abandon HTMLDoc because of this. Actually, all document formats used in the application I mentioned are fixed-width and are not problematic. It's good you pointed this out, though, because it took some experimenting to get the formatting right because of the page cut-offs in some cases. Different documents in this case require different margins and formatting. One thing I absolutely hate about htmldoc is it's lack of support for CSS. It's quite a mature product in that it's been around for quite some time and it's generally fast (as long as you don't generate a thousand-page pdf file!), so it's still useful in certain situations for us. Now, I definitely wouldn't use it in an environment where it was under any sort of significant load, but that's just based on my experience with it. In that case I'd probably go with ActivePDF products (server and webgrabber) for HTML to PDF conversion. Andy ~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.

RE: Sending Faxes through Cold Fusion
I'd be careful with HTMLDoc, it doesn't support shrink to fit, it also doesn't compensate for IE's tendency to print off the right side of the page. This is a pretty well known bug, and they had no knowledge of it. Since generating PDF's is essentially a print process, the bug falls over into the generated PDF. I had to abandon HTMLDoc because of this. sas Scott A.

This is a Windows-only solution (at least just tested and being used on Windows): Actually, htmldoc allows you to convert html pages to postscript as well, so if you have postscript drivers installed for your printers you can simply copy the .ps file to any local or network printer via the command line. You can even use move from the command line which will take care of sending the file to the printer and then deleting it (although there is a caveat with using move, see below). I set this system up a few years back for a non-profit client of ours. It's an intranet system that allows them to print reports, letter runs and billing statements directly to any printer on their network. It also gives them the option to generate a PDF, which is nice when they are working remotely and need to view or print something locally. The batch file runs the html file through htmldoc and then moves the output ...ps file to the printer: move \\server\printername. For some reason I've noticed that moving the file stopped working on the server after some period of time, so I had to change the batch file so it would copy the .ps file to the printer and then delete it. That's neither here nor there, though, but maybe it'll help someone in the future! Andy ~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.

Re: Sending Faxes through Cold Fusion
Hi Tom Could you go into more detail about how you would use HylaFax with CF to send and receive faxes?

Re: Sending Faxes through Cold Fusion (SOFTphone/VoIP ? )
I was able to send faxes from Cf using Protofax software very easily. http://www.protonet.com/ . The company I was working with chose this one because they had CF tags available. I found that Protofax's features (such as recieving an incoming fax from a queue directory, or an e-mail box, etc..) were available in many fax programs and the custom tag code was trivial. We ended up not even using it. >From: Stephen Cassady [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Sent: November 9, 2005 8:33 PM >To: CF-Talk >Subject: Sending Faxes through Cold Fusion > >Hey all - > >I have a situation where I need to replace a current application (a web >system that runs .exe for each requested page!) with CF.

Re: Sending Faxes through Cold Fusion
Combine the ability for CF to generate PDF files and email them with a fax server that watches an email folder and sends faxes from the attcahments. Check out Black Ice for a simple example. http://www.blackice.com/Fax%20Server/Email%20Faxing%20Client.htm On 11/9/05, Stephen Cassady <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hey all - > > I have a situation where I need to replace a current application (a web > system that runs .exe for each requested page!) with CF.

Re: Sending Faxes through Cold Fusion
If you grab an fax service where you can fax by sending an email you just create an email and send it to the fax #'s email addy. eFax I know does this.

Sending Faxes through Cold Fusion
Hey all - I have a situation where I need to replace a current application (a web system that runs .exe for each requested page!) with CF. Everything is good except for one item: I need the ability to send a fax from CF. Does anybody have some suggestions or links that would assist in sending a fax from CF?
