RE: Auto-Create PDF file from mailbox (maybe OT)
Thanks everyone for your suggestions! I knew I could count on you guys! I use Ghostscript, but to set that up for 50 or 60 sales drones would be tedious and I doubt they would have much luck using it. They all want the pretty Adobe one-click button to make pdf's right from Office applications. I can't imaging subjecting them to the horror of actually thinking about what they are doing ;-) I will investigate the possibilities of using CERN and a few of the others that are mentioned. Thanks Again!

RE: Auto-Create PDF file from mailbox (maybe OT)
Yes there is a utility called Jaws PDFCreator that generates pdfs from word documents. the link is http://www.ylink.com.au/Jaws.html ( this is our local distributors website) however I'm not sure how you would automate this within Exchange. cheers Wayne Hanks Systems Administrator Paterson Ord Minnett Ph 08 9263 1114 fax 08 9325 1086 Don't Panic -Douglas Adams The Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy -Original Message- From: Jim Holmgren [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, 18 October 2001 8:31 To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Auto-Create PDF file from mailbox (maybe OT) I apologize in advance if this is a bit off topic, and if anyone can direct me to another site, please do.

Possibly as another example, Adobe and Trace Research Center host email-based conversion tools (pdf to txt/html), at: http://access.adobe.com/access_email.html and you might prevail upon them to share the outline of the process mechanism, or perhaps purchase the tools if they make them available. -Original Message- From: Jim Holmgren [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, October 18, 2001 10:31 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Auto-Create PDF file from mailbox (maybe OT) I apologize in advance if this is a bit off topic, and if anyone can direct me to another site, please do.
