Re: [hylafax-users] Pagechop does not chop pages

[christian79@xxxxxxxx]

Hello Lee,

thanks again for your fast and valuable support. I have found following variable in the pdf2fax script:

unlimitedlength=no     # default to fixed length-pages

Changing this to

unlimitedlength=yes

results into having TIFF files with the same page length as the original PDF file! This is a great advance for me, as I can send out via the sendfax command the TIFF files directly and with a correct pagechop.

I don't know how that variable works, as I don't see a call for that variable in the script. But nevertheless... It is working. :-)

Christian
