To completely answer your question, I need to know a little more about
where your files are coming from.  Which client are you using to
generate your fax files?  Unix sendfax?  WHFC?  Or something else?

I presume you're trying to take raw data out of a report generator, and
make it look like a form?  Can your application generate text that
looks like postscript?

The easiest solution to this in the HylaFax/Postscript environment may
be a perl program that translates the application generated text into a
PS program that builds your form.

It depends on how much investment in the switchover is warranted.
