PDF Server YAFPC-Appliance Forum

I would like to use a specific field from a specific line in my PDF file to build the file name, and I have a working script with sed and awk to extract the needed field.

Did I misunderstand, however, that I can build a filename from the PDF file contents? The documentation makes reference to the "Document title," but I didn't see that explained.

I'm using YAFPC as a remote print queue on an AIX system, and I am printing to the queue using the enscript command. For example:

  enscript -dpdf filename

where 'pdf' is the queue name.  So, 'filename' is my 'Document title'?

Thanks,
Andrew Cyr

The filename is built from the "document title" given by the printing application. If you look at a PostScript file (with text editor) you will find a line looking like this:

%%Title: (Some Document Title Here)

This line is used by YAFPC to build the filename from.

I don't know much about enscript. But looking at the man page I would try the "-t" option first.
