Re: [hylafax-users] R: PDF Attachment Corruption



Ok,

So I checked and I have the following installed:

Imagemagick (although I am not using webmin)
sharutils
metamail


Did not have: mgetty (now installed) gcc-c++ (now installed) gs (ghostscript - now installed) libtiff-devel (now installed)

I also took Giuseppe's advice. I went to Debian's website and downloaded version 4.3.1-7 and performed an upgrade via dpkg.

I would have tried to have installed 4.4.2, but Ubuntu did not have the necessary dependencies for it to install correctly.

Now everything seems to be working fine. I can receive faxes still and the PDF's appear in my email perfectly.

Thanks to all,
Kevin L.

I have a checklist of packages that need to be installed.
you can check if you are missing anything

I am used to use suse, so maybe package names are different, anyway...

you need:
ImageMagick to see faxes via webmin ghostscript-library, ghostscript fonts-std ghostscript fonts-other "sharutils" which provides uuencode (otherwise no convertion from tiff to
pdf, i.e.) "metamail" gcc-c++ getty (package mgetty) !!! tiff (package tiff) !!! libtiff-devel installato !!!


If any of these packages were installed AFTER hylafx installation, I
discovered I need to make faxsetup run again (actually I don't know why.. but i faced
it several times...)


I hope this could help you

Oggetto: [hylafax-users] PDF Attachment Corruption


Hello everyone,

I have searched online for this solution and nothing seems to have fixed it yet.

Once I receive a fax, I have hylafax send a PDF copy of it to my email account. In each case, the PDF file is 0kb and is not opening (obviously).

I read where I needed to make sure ENCODING was set to base64 - and it is.My setup.cache has the following entries:
ENCODING='base64'
MIMENCODE='/usr/bin/uuencode' (Note that I have tried "mimencode" here
as well.)
UUENCODE='/usr/bin/uuencode'


I have also made sure that metamail and sharutils were installed (via apt-get). I tried to verify that base64-encode was installed via apt-get but it says that there is no such package. These bits of information I gathered from a previous post by Lee H.

I also tried adding "ENCODING=Base64;" to FaxDispatch as mentioned by Chin in the mailing list.

Does anyone have any ideas?

I just have a stock "faxrcvd" file and my FaxDispatch file currently looks like:

ENCODING=Base64;
SENDTO=user@xxxxxxxxxx;
FILETYPE=pdf;

Thanks,
Kevin L.
