Mmm, I still do mine in MetaPad (a nicer Notepad), and before under 
RISC OS with Edit. I find most of the easy-creator packages just get 
in the way; and the quality of HTML generated can be rather variable.

A drive with SMART that can jiggle sectors plus a self-compacting 
filesystem. Overwriting files with zeros and such before deletion 
will help a little bit, but you don't know what fragments may be 
lying around.

Some day when you are bored, *Create a file a few Mb in size (filesys 
will grab some free space and make it into a file) then drop the file 
into Zap and see what's in your "free space".


Best wishes,

Rick.

Easiwriter.

I know Paul Vigay used to send me fancy invoices done
(presumably) with Ovation, thn e-mailed as PDF, but what is
the point?

Most invoices I receive are sent to me through the post.

It is the text that is important and Easiwriter allows
insertion of a logo with no problem.

1. It's as easy to create a pdf as it is to print a document.
2. Email requires no ink, no paper, no envelope, no stamp, no trudge to
the posting box, no postmen...
3. What's the different additional environmental impact of each, given
that your computer, router and the internet are 'on' anyway?

> Most invoices I receive are sent to me through the post.

Just because other people live in caves and light their homes with
candles, doesn't mean you should.

That applies whether you print to paper or not. The content is the same.
Like me, some of your customers may appreciate being able to e-file your
invoice without having to scan it first!

I generally send invoices by email and only produce them on paper if I am
going to see my customer in the flesh when I can hand it to them.

I was referring to the unnecessary use of a DTP package to
produce an invoice, not paper vs. e-mail.

My worry is that with ever declining numbers of real
letters, the cost keeps ratcheting up, making the cost of
posting those documents that have to be posted rediculous.

Given that I like business invoices on paper, I do not see
why I should spend my expensive toner to save them money.
The paper is not new - there is plenty of junk mail on
decent quality paper only printed one side.

Only customers get things printed on virgin paper.

I appreciate not having to print out an invoice so that I
can account for it easily.
:-)

If the invoices were only on computer I would need a second
monitor, so that I had one for the accounts program and one
to replace the stack of papers next to the keyboard.

I send commission invoices abroad by e-mail. I have no idea
whether or not they mind. But I cannot think of a single
hotel that I deal with that does not send invoices through
the post, in spite of the extortionate cost of the German
Postal service.

But booking confirmations require to be accompanied by
insurance certificates which are only supplied on paper and
must, by law, be given to the customer.

Plus, you really cannot get a PDF version of a Pipedream
document meant to be printed on three part NCR paper and
expect it to look anything the way it is supposed to look.

Indeed. If they must send a 'pretty' version in Word etc - why not a plain

I repeat: that is an assumption you make which may not be true.

As for using DTP for invoices, I use Prophet which allows a Drawfile to
be used as an invoice background which I created once, years ago. They
may look DTP'd  to recipients as they have graphics but was only done
once, a long time ago. Prophet prints them. I doubt many use real DTP to
produce individual invoices, unless it's just one every blue moon.

On this HD display there is plenty of room to show an invoice on-screen
alongside Prophet where I enter its details. Sometimes I cut'n'paste
which saves typing. Then the email with invoice attachment is transferred
to an external Pluto box called, unsurprisingly, invoices_received.

[Snip]

I understand that may be a requirement of the law (really? which one?) or
the issuer so you are stuck with it!

May be different, I know, but I have had motor and travel insurance
certificates sent by email in the past. Mind you, motor are on a national
database which the old bill trust more than any self-printed document.
All documents are too easy to forge. Travel insurance is optional anyway
so only the issuing company is interested in the validity of the policy
and they don't need the cert., for that. It's actually a certificate
nobody needs really apart from proof of purchase.

It would really only be necessary to forward certs if they are printed on
security paper of some sort with watermarks and suchlike and in the
unlikely event that insured has to present that cert., back to the
company in the case of a claim. If they are simply laser-printed onto
ordinary stock, customers may as well print them.

In the  absence of NCR paper, and equipped with lasers, we can just print
as many copies of stuff  as we need. Whether or not a document a customer
prints is /exactly/ as you see it in pdream probably doesn't matter as
long as all the information is there. Unless your NCR paper is
pre-printed with other important information I wouldn't worry.

The accounting is done using a free copy (cover disc) of
Quicken, under Windows.

Were I to store documents on a computer, I would, I imagine
want to do that under RISC OS. Currently I use a KVM switch
to switch the monitor between machines, but if I were to
replace paper copies (which I find **much** easier to
handle), with scanned copies, I would have to buy a scanner
(the one I have - cost £10 - only works under Win98) and
then I would need to get either a fancy monitor like yours,
or a second. I was given my current monitor, so I would need
to spend money on a fancy monitor, more money on a scanner,
and still end up with a less convenient system.

I just find it vastly simpler and quicker to look through
half a dozen bits of paper, some which may have hand written
notes on, rather than keeping loads of computer files. I can
glance at several sheets of paper in the time it takes to
open a single PDF.

The law that requires a tour operator to have a financial
protection scheme in place to protect client's monies. If
that scheme is insurance based, as mine is, the operator is
required to issue a certificate of insurance to each
customer.

> or the issuer so you are stuck with it!

I do not know whether there is anything that states that the
certificate must be on paper rather than a digital document,
but they are on paper. If instead they were digital, I would
need to log in to a website to download the necessary
certificates, then print them out. Much more time consuming
than issuing pre-printed and pre-numbered paper
certificates.

Were I a crook I could probably send a dozen different
customers a scan of the same document and save a packet.

The paper certificates are individually numbered, so sending
individual certificates by post is more secure than if I
were allowed to send out scans of the paper certificates.

In much of the world - such as the USA you need to show
your certificate to the medical practitioner before they
will treat you.

In an emergency I would much rather have a document to show
someone, rather than give them a URL or a phone number and
trust that they would spend their time checking to see if
cover were in place.

Have you ever seen a PD document designed to be produced on
a dot matrix printer that has instead been printed with a
PoScript printer driver? These PD docs are not WYSIWYG. As
the on screen characters are all the same size, a laser
prints them all the same size, and in the system font. And
the control characters as well. A dot matrix printer
interprets the control codes and puts onto paper what is
needed to make a coherent and legible document, printed in
an appropriate font.

When I was run over in the U.S.A. I was wearing bathing trunks and a
T-shirt. I had no ID or insurance documents on me, but they took me to
hospital in an ambulance, and I was treated and X-rayed without a shred
of evidence that I was who I said I was!

Don't confuse emergency treatment with going to the doctor/hospital
complaining of feeling sick and having a bit of a headache!  If there's a
chance that you won't die in the next hour or so then they'll certainly be
interested in checking your financial status.  If you look a bad bet it's
pretty certain that a doctor will politely ask you to leave and try
elsewhere.

Cheers

Thought of that but have the room and glad I went for two
keyboards/mice/screens rather than KVM. When I was given a second
1280x1024 display I thought I'd play with the second output on the
windoze box so now have three screens. But 1920x1080 on RISC OS is far
better than 2560x1024 on windows simply because of all the windoze window
furniture clutter and embiggened windows taking up a whole of a (1280)
screen without needing to.

> but if I were to replace paper copies (which I find

I wasn't suggesting that. It can be an uphill battle asking people to
switch from sending paper to email(!!!): I have a dual filing system (one
physical, one virtual) and wouldn't spend my time scanning paper
documents I have been sent, just to file them away.

[Snip]

>and then I

Sorry. My 1280x1024 RISC OS display died.  :-(

A 22" 1920x1080 monitor is by no means fancy these days, nor particularly
expensive. Per pixel, it was the most economical screen real estate
available and it is true to say you can't have too many pixels. 85 quid
is not a fancy price for HD loveliness.  ;-)

Unless you were to leave the dead tree thoughts behind and e-send your

You could do the same thing with paper documents, were you a forger.
Remember: the first-time customer has no idea what any given certificate
is supposed to look like.

[Snip]

There are many cases now (apparently) where boy racers insure their pride
and joy and then cancel the insurance but keep the certificate. Old Bill
will nearly always now not rely on dox and always check the DVLA
insurance database and/or with the company directly. This has meant that
motor insurance certificates have become of almost no use at the roadside
or even at the Nick within seven days!

Road Wars (on Sky) used to be replete with examples.

I think the insurance companies now say: "Certificates? Oh! What's the
point?"

[Snip]

Fair comment. Nobody was saying that the traveller shouldn't take a copy
with them.

Makes me wonder: if I had a PDF for travel insurance displayed in Kindle
on my phone will it be accepted by a US hospital in October? Not sure
I'll risk that! May take it in both formats and try that one first. :-)

[Snip]

Yes the point was that YOU (probably) don't need to be doing the printing.

Not for a long time. !Firewkz32 is in use on this Iyonix.

That sounds like a limitation of Pipedream. I think the only way round
that would be to print to a bitmap printer driver and then encapsulate
that bitmap file in a PDF. Something of a fiddle, and time consuming on a
RiscPC, of course.

A classic example today of why I often wish people would
send me things on paper, rather than by e-mail, though given
Deutsche Post's exorbitant rates, I do understand why.

A supplier e-mails me a customers hotel vouchers, as PDFs,
for me to print out. There are ten of them, three to an A4
page, so four A4 pages.

They do not open properly under RISC OS, so I print them out
using Adobe Reader.

One page's spool file is somewhere between 4.5 and 5MB.

Using an HP 2100M Post Script 2 printer, Windows XP,
USB->Parallel connection.

Each page takes 25 to 30 minutes to print - no fun at all
when the customer has been promised that they will be posted
today.

I suspect that the USB->Parallel connection may be partly to
blame. I should try printing to file and seeing how long it
takes to print under RISC OS...

I tried another page from the same supplier last night,
printing to file from Adobe reader, then dropping the
resulting PoScript file onto the PoScript2 printer on the
RPC's icon bar.

This spool file was 12MB, and took well over an hour to
print out.

So the USB->Parallel connection does not appear to be, at
least in part, to blame.

Perhaps in future I should just leave these files to print
overnight.

No, they are customers hotel vouchers.

I guess they could be later in the year, once the customer
had completed their holiday.

Big PDF files, are they?

Some may suggest you email them to your customer for self-printing. ;-)

Remember that customers booking directly with the same hotel are probably
emailed vouchers, as you have been.

Presumably they are bigger and more complex than they need to be.

Are you using the PostScript driver? HP PS printers often seem to have a
choice.

Good grief. Your PC/HP2100 combination must be hellishly slow by today's
standards.

I have never had a problem with a print taking that long with the 2550
(which is a few years old) although really overly-complex and/or really
big pages do make it run out of memory: it has simply ignored a file once
or twice.
