flexfax: Postscript error faxing PDF-files

[Andreas Hoedle <hoedle@kwsoft.de>]

Hello

I have a problem with faxing PDF-documents from Windows NT Clients with
WHFC. My setup consists of hylafax 4.0p12 with an ELSA Microlink 56K
basic and the according config file from the ELSA homepage. The
ghostscript is GNU Ghostscript 5.1 on SuSE-Linux 6.2 and on the clients
side i have tested the recommended Apple Laserwriter and an ADOBE
printer to deliver the postscript files. All went well except one (until
now) PDF-file which generates the following errors :

With Laserwriter printer :

> to facsimile failed.  The output from the converter program was:

Can anyone help me getting clean postscript out of PDF-files??

Many Thanks
