Re: [hylafax-users] sending faxes in pdf format via e-mail

[Lee Howard <faxguy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Giovanni,

Thanks.

Changes along these same lines were already committed to HylaFAX CVS (to 
become 4.2.2 someday).  The configure script and the faxsetup script 
both check to see if libtiff's tiff2pdf exists, and if it does, then it 
is used instead of HylaFAX's tiff2ps -> ps2pdf conversion.

I ran into similiar troubles as you when I used a recent Slackware 
release.  I also "fixed" the problem by using libtiff's tiff2pdf.

Lee.
