Re: [hylafax-users] Help with coversheet

[Daniel Hillhouse <daniel.hillhouse@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Paul,

I'll try to explain this carefully, but no guarantees that this is 100%. 
This is how I did it recently though.

1 .Generate the PS file with driver

2. Insert search and replace functions for coverpage to use. Most 
tutorials/how-to's say to use /S as the function name, but the apple 
driver already uses this as can be seen with the "xS" on the end of some 
lines. I know nothing about postcript but this function works for me.

This is what mine looks like (Change the function names to suit you though):

1 setlinejoin
/nullstring () def
/DANIS {
   dup where {
       pop
       load dup nullstring ne {S} {pop} ifelse
   } {pop} ifelse
} bind def
/DANM { moveto } bind def
/DANS { show } bind def


/rule (_____________________________________________) def
/lw rule stringwidth pop def /lh 30 def
/y 191.4 def /x 0 def
y -30 0 { x exch moveto rule show } for
lw lh x y comments BreakIntoLines


3. Replace your constants with constants from faxcover 
(http://www.hylafax.org/man/faxcover.html)

Change this:

999 2060 M (placeholderfax)[44 16 44 40 44 44 45 16 44 44 26 22 44  0]xS

To this:

999 2060 DANM /to-company DANIS

You can do this for all of your short constants. For your comments you will need to do something different to get them to perform a linebreak. The text in My file for this is:

1800 -50 325 1300 comments BreakIntoLines

Where the 4 numbers are x,y co-ordinates and line width co-ordinates. If you insert that line then you can just play with the co-ordinates until it moves into the right place. These worked for me and had the text starting about a 3rd down the page.

Hope that helps. Let me know if anything is unclear.

Cheers
Daniel.
