RE: generate pdf files and print them to a specific paper bin
Hi Manoj, there is a way to use different paper sizes at least for some HP printers (i.e. HP LaserJet 2200 model). The printer driver lets you choose which sheet size should be used to print the first page. Maybe this helps Volker -Original Message- From: Manoj Unnikrishnan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 16, 2003 6:41 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: generate pdf files and print them to a specific paper bin I want to generate pdf files and print them to a specific paper bin.

Re: Has anybody used the Crystal Reports and how does it compare to t he FOP?
I don't want to make Crystal Reports bad, but I haven't heard much good from it, although that the last time that was 3 years ago. Things change. At that time I was working for a Delphi-programming company that have written their own Reporter because Crystal Reports was suboptimal. At the end you'll have to choose the tool that you're most comfortable with. Do the people who have to create the reports like the tool their working with? Does the tool support the things you need to be able to do? One thought I'd like to give you on your way is the one about standards conformance: On one side you need different input and output formats (such as XML, PDF, PostScript). Both FOP and Crystal Reports support a variety of standard input and output formats. But what about the layout style you need to develop for each report, the report itself. Crystal Reports uses its own proprietary format, while FOP uses XSLT, XSL:FO, SVG and other standards to accomplish the same. If you use a standard based tool you have a high probability that you can switch the tool without having to redo each and every report. You may well be able to process your report using RenderX's XEP or the upcoming Adobe server or whatever. What about the editors? With Crystal Reports you get theirs. With XSL you can use some editor. On the other side there's the problem that XSL doesn't have any editors, yet, that get near the functionality of that one from Crystal Reports. WYSIWYG and all. Good luck with the decision.

Having been using FOP for more than 2 years, I have gained lots of experiences in it. So I would prefer FOP rather than any other reporting tools. But my work mates want to use Crystal Reports. They claim that the Crystal Report is better than FOP in terms of speed, functionality, usability and etc. I don't know too much about the Crystal Report, so I would really appreciate if someone can compare different aspects of FOP and Crystal Report. I need it to justify the development in FOP! Thank you! Jeremias Maerki - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Uh, if you manage to come up with a reasonable start for a PPD parser that would be cool.

Re: generate pdf files and print them to a specific paper bin
I've implemented it like this: - I've produced PDF using FOP, - converted the PDF to PostScript using the command line of a Unix version of Acrobat Reader 4.05 - and inserted the PostScript commands for paper bin selection into the PostScript stream. (Works well because the Acrobat Reader produces a rather nice PostScript with DSC comments what makes things like that very easy.) Good luck.

But we can use curveto PS command to achieve the QUADTO effect by treating the first two control points as the same point.
