I use GS on Linux to generate 99% of our paperwork. I also added a print-to-PDF-display and an email-me-a-PDF option in our printer selector for traditional laser output. I use html2ps and htmldoc to generate the Postscript content and then either convert to PDF or send the PS straight to a PS-capable printer. All of our generated documentation is HTML formatted and includes embedded EPS logos and signatures where applicable.
I originally utilized uuencode and uudecode to store and recreate PDFs to/from MV files. However, due to such a large resulting file size I eventually transposed the MV files into a file hierarchy system on the O/S. It saves on file-save size and time, but I now have to perform dual backups. One is a cronjob for the O/S FHS and one is the normal MV file-save. That's not big deal. I just plug in an e-sata drive and do an rsync on the file-save images and the PDF tree to have a mobile backup of both. Of course, if your backup size exceeds 1TB then you may have to consider other backup options. ---------------------------------------- Glen Batchelor IT Director All-Spec Industries phone: (910) 332-0424 fax: (910) 763-5664 E-mail: webmas...@all-spec.com Web: http://www.all-spec.com Blog: http://blog.all-spec.com ---------------------------------------- > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-u2-us...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:owner-u2- > us...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Norman Bauer > Sent: Tuesday, January 27, 2009 3:22 PM > To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org > Subject: [U2] PDF printing, LaTeX, Ghostscript, etc. > > Hello, > > Is there anyone here who implemented their own PDF printing system using > LaTex, > Ghostscript, or TeX, etc. > > We are printing on multi-part forms for all of our shipping documents and > I am > looking into ways to getting us off that system. 100% of our forms are > printed > using UniBASIC. > > Any and all suggestions will be looked at. > > Thanks, > Norm > ------- > u2-users mailing list > u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org > To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ ------- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
