Mail received fax as pdf

Show all headers | View raw

Hello!

Is this group still alive?

I want mgetty to mail every received fax as a pdf to a local recipient. For
that reason, I modified one of the samples of new_fax like this (only the
more intersting part follows):


	(
	    echo "Subject: fax from $SENDER, page $P of $PAGES"
	    echo "To: $MAILTO"
	    echo ""
	    $G3TOPBM $STRETCH $FAX | pbmtolps > /tmp/$$.ps
	    ps2pdf /tmp/$$.ps /tmp/$$.pdf
	    uuencode /tmp/$$.pdf $$.pdf
	) | $MAILER $MAILTO

It works so far. But the quality of the resulting pdf's is poor. They also
seem to be shrinked instead of filling an entire A4 page (like received).

Any suggestions on how to do it better?

V.
