Re: [hylafax-users] Sending landscape PDF documents



I am sure there is a script that can be written with ghostscript to check
for the size and change it to landscape. Anybody know how to do this?

Thanks.

I would tend to agree.

both pdf2fax and ps2fax aren't exactly bullet-proof when it comes to
document sizes.  IMHO they both need to have page-size-checking routines
integrated into them to pass the document to Ghostscript as it was meant
to be.
