Re: [hylafax-users] Single Page Confirmation from bin/notify

[Robert McIntosh <mcintoshrt@xxxxxxxxx>]

Got a work around.  Made a drop-in script instead of ps2pdf to do the
work in bin/notify:
---

#!/bin/sh
# $Id: ps2pdfwr,v 1.6.2.1 2002/01/22 21:34:04 jackiem Exp $
# Convert PostScript to PDF without specifying CompatibilityLevel.
OPTIONS="-dSAFER"
while true
do
	case "$1" in
	-?*) OPTIONS="$OPTIONS $1" ;;
	*)  break ;;
	esac
	shift
done

if [ $# -lt 1 -o $# -gt 2 ]; then
	echo "Usage: `basename $0` [options...] (input.[e]ps|-) [output.pdf|-]" 1>&2
	exit 1
fi

infile="$1";
#Here's the newline
/usr/bin/psselect -p1 "${infile}" 1stpage.ps;
infile="1stpage.ps";
#end newline
if [ $# -eq 1 ]
then
	case "${infile}" in
	  -)		outfile=- ;;
	  *.eps)	base=`basename "${infile}" .eps`; outfile="${base}.pdf" ;;
	  *.ps)		base=`basename "${infile}" .ps`; outfile="${base}.pdf" ;;
	  *)		base=`basename "${infile}"`; outfile="${base}.pdf" ;;
	esac
else
	outfile="$2"
fi

# We have to include the options twice because -I only takes effect if it
# appears before other options.
exec /usr/bin/gs $OPTIONS -q -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=pdfwrite
"-sOutputFile=$outfile" $OPTIONS -c .setpdfwrite -f "$infile"
rm 1stpage.ps
---

...then changed the PS2PDF variable in bin/notify to look for this script.

Thanks all.
