Default ACTFAX - 07-19-2006 , 12:00 PM






I'm using Actfax for email, faxing and report printing using the
overlay function. The Actfax is running on an XP box and is receiving
print jobs from D3 apps on an AIX machine. The email function will
allow me to assign a name to the report and convert it into a pdf as an
attachment on the email. I need to capture the report with the overlay
and store it in the customers folder. I can direct the report to the
Actfax server using a shared printer for AdobePDF to create the PDF but
it requires interaction at the Actfax server to assign the filename.
I've tried several PDF drivers but all require the interaction on
saving the file. Anyone out there have suggestions on this?

Randy

The @F602 tag is used to name the .pdf document. I suppose you could include
the directory. I'm not sure this would work, but you could try:

@F602 c:/jeffsemail/po1234.pdf @

The @F503 tag assigns the printer. I suppose you can set up the printer to
be a file.

Jeffrey,

I contacted Michael at ACTFAX and he indicated that I can use the @F505
to direct the export along with changing the export properties from the
default tif to pdf. I also found that if I only want print to file that
I can eliminate the @F503 line for the shared printer and it works
perfectly. Thanks for your response. - randy

@F505 c:\export\filename.pdf,D,H

Best regards,
Michael Schindler
