generate pdf files and print them to a specific paper bin
I want to generate pdf files and print them to a
specific paper bin. How can I do this?
Can I do this while using fop to generate the PDF.
When the PDF is printed I want the first page to be
printed on letter head paper and all the others on
plain paper.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Manoj Unnikrishnan

I've implemented it like this:
- I've produced PDF using FOP,
- converted the PDF to PostScript using the command line of a Unix
version of Acrobat Reader 4.05
- and inserted the PostScript commands for paper bin selection into the
PostScript stream. (Works well because the Acrobat Reader produces a
rather nice PostScript with DSC comments what makes things like that
very easy.)
Good luck.

Uh, if you manage to come up with a reasonable start for a PPD parser
that would be cool.

I just wanted you all to know that I've been using FOP as the chief
enabling technology in a product I'm building, and it has been very useful
and powerful. Granted, I have to live within some of the limitations (like
the blind tables business), but I've been able to get some very nice things
done even so.
You've done a great job.
If my product finds a market[1], I should have the time in a few months to
contribute to FOP's further development. I'm particularly in need of inline
containers, and, of course, better keep/break handling would be nice (as if
that wasn't already known).
Thanks for all of your work and dedication.

[1] If it doesn't find a market, I'll have to find a real job...

Hi Manoj,
there is a way to use different paper sizes at least for some
HP printers (i.e. HP LaserJet 2200 model). The printer driver
lets you choose which sheet size should be used to print the first
page.
Maybe this helps
Volker
