[hylafax-users] Legal documents

[John Davis <johnd@xxxxxxxx>]

This probably isn't a hylafax-specific issue. Most likely it's a 
conversion issue, but I think my best bet for a solution is here.

 Incoming faxes which are legal-sized documents are truncated. To try 
and identify the cause of the problem, I changed US-Letter in 
paper-config to the same values as legal and it still truncated the 
legal document, which makes me think there is a problem with tiff2ps or 
maybe even ps2pdf. I'm including my script so you can see what I'm 
doing. I post the resulting pdf to a web server running on the same 
machine so it can be read by users with the appropriate permissions.

## get the fax queue ID out of the second parameter
FAXQUEUE=`grep "ANSWER: FAX CONNECTION  DEVICE" $2 | gawk 'BEGIN { FS = 
"\047" }  {print $2}' | gawk 'BEGIN { FS = "/dev/" }  {print $2}'`

#echo $FAXQUEUE

# echo $ i >log.txt
tiff2ps -a $1 -O $1.ps
echo "after $1 conversion to ps $1.ps" >>log.txt

# convert to pdf
ps2pdf $1.ps $1.pdf
#echo "after $1 conversion to pdf $1.pdf" >>log.txt

# remove the tif extension
FILE=`echo $1.pdf | awk 'BEGIN { FS = "." } { print $1 }'`
EXT=`echo $1.pdf | awk 'BEGIN { FS = "." } { print $3 }'`


FAX=$FILE.$EXT


mv $1.pdf $FAX

curl http://localhost/faxes/incoming.php -F 
"faxfilename=@/var/spool/hylafax/uploadq/$FAX" -F "faxfilename1=$FAX" -F 
"faxqueue=$FAXQUEUE"

#echo "uploaded $FAX" >>log.txt

# clean up
##rm -f /var/spool/hylafax/uploadq/$1*
##rm -f /var/spool/hylafax/uploadq/$2*




Thanks for the assistance
