Re: [hylafax-users] DateStamp PDF Attachment Received by from FaxDispatch

["Andy Rogers" <andy.rogers@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have just been looking at some of the existing files in a bit more
detail, and found the common-functions file maybe one which I could hack.

Would it work if I used a similar string to:

psmark -i - -o - -x -400 -y 20 -r 0 -s 10 "`date`"

and added this to one of the lines in the Convert File area of the script,
like maybe:-

PDF|pdf)
	    TraceLog "Converting $1 to PDF"
	    case $2 in
	    	PostScript|Postscript|PS|ps)
		    TraceLog "Using ps2pdf"
		    name="`basename $1 .ps`"
		    psmark -i - -o - -x -400 -y 20 -r 0 -s 10 "`date`" | $PS2PDF $1
$TMPDIR/$name.pdf >/dev/null 2>&1
		    echo "$TMPDIR/$name.pdf"
		    ;;

Would this work or something similar, or am i completley off the mark?

Thanks

Andy
