[hylafax-users] faxrcvd script and PDF document page size

[Milen Dimitrov <milend@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

When in FaxDispatch FILE TYPE is set to PDF
"FILETYPE=pdf "
then faxrcvd script converts TIFF file into PDF.
The following lines are from faxrcvd:

[ "$FILETYPE" = "pdf" ]; then
        echo "Content-Type: application/pdf; name=\"c$COMMID.pdf\""
        echo "Content-Description: FAX document"
        echo "Content-Transfer-Encoding: $ENCODING"
        echo "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"c$COMMID.pdf\""
        echo ""
        GW=`$TIFFINFO $FILE | $GREP "Image Width" | \
       $SED 's/.*Image Width: \([0-9]*\).*/\1/g' | sort -n | $SED -n '$p'`
        GL=`$TIFFINFO $FILE | $GREP "Image Length" | \
       $SED 's/.*Image Length: \([0-9]*\).*/\1/g' | sort -n | $SED -n '$p'`
        RW=`$TIFFINFO $FILE | $GREP "Resolution" | \
       $SED 's/.*Resolution: \([0-9]*\).*/\1/g' | sort -n | $SED -n '$p'`
        RL=`$TIFFINFO $FILE | $GREP "Resolution" | \
       $SED 's/.*Resolution: [0-9]*, \([0-9]*\).*/\1/g' | sort -n | 
$SED -n '$p'`
        $TIFF2PS -a -O $FILE.ps $FILE 2>/dev/null # fax2ps looks bad
        $PS2PDF -g$GW\x$GL -r$RW\x$RL $FILE.ps $FILE.pdf 2>/dev/null
        $MIMENCODE $FILE.pdf 2>/dev/null
        $RM -f $FILE.ps $FILE.pdf 2>/dev/null

It seem to me that faxrcvd determines from the TIFF the maximum image 
dimensions and
then creates PS and PDF files with page sizes equal to the these max. 
dimensions.
Now, If the fax received consists of 4 pages - 2 letter and 2 legal, 
then the resulting PDF file
will have 4 pages - BUT all of them legal.

Here I have 2 questions:
1. Is it possible to create multiple page PS and/or PDF documents with 
different page sizes
and this way to preserve the original document page sizes?
(2 letter and 2 legal format for example)

2. Is it possible to convert the one N-pages TIFF file into N PDF files?

Any ideas , any comments?

Thank you for the help in advance!

Milen
