interpreted = N
texte = I realize this would not be ideal for more than reason (incl. file- size).. but what do you all think of spitting out postscript data instead of pdf .. in order to get around the problem that there does not seem to exist anymore software that can write pdfs that are pure ascii (no binary/null chars). On mac those .ps (postscript) files open as though they were pdfs in the first place... but on PC?? Our first test failed on PC.. but perhaps if the postscript file had been *created by windows software*, then it would have opened as a pdf? Or is postscript just too outdated to be reliable on typical end-user setups? showing my ignorance here.. thanks for any feedback/education about what to expect with postscript files. -Govinda Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
