Re: [hylafax-users] Document conversion using typerules

["Amin Mozafari" <amin85ir@xxxxxxxxx>]

There is still one missing piece. I know that there is an obscure utility called faxtest (or testfax ?) that takes a document as the argument and outputs the typerules match list. It’s like invoking sendfax in verbose mode. However, the output is unformatted and I have to extract the matching converter using some bash magic and then feed the document to the converter. Am I missing an undocumented switch that makes the tool more machine-friendly or there is yet a better way of getting the matching converter from typerules list?

The best place to do this is by creating a script in etc/FaxModify.

 

This script will run every time a fax job is submitted to the server, regardless of which submission channel is used.

 

The first part of the script could do something like check if the document's submitted are candidates for conversion and if matched positively then run your conversion process.

 

All the best

Ok. But I need to emulate sendfax document conversion capabilities. How can
I write a script that gets called when a new job is submitted?
I am thinking of using jobcontrol to do the conversion by replacing the job
documents in docq. Can you give me any advice?

hfaxd only accepts Postscript, PDF, TIFF, and sometimes PCL.

Thanks,
