Re: Creating page segments natively

[Vernon Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

To clarify this - from my original post - "I have to look at converting 
signature images to page segments."

This is not a question about how to put images on PDFs - that was my 
other question of last week.

We are not going to change our current process this much - we still need 
to have *AFPDS spooled files for printing to local printers - and we are 
not going to assume they can print PDF files.

We currently have a Windows VM (used to be an actual machine) that has a 
program that converts BMPs to files that can be copied to PF members and 
be used to create page segments.

We need to make this a native process, for various reasons.

I don't see this as going through hoops - I know that the first 200 
bytes or so are pretty much boiler plate, as are the last 40 or so.

Ah, I see, looking at my post that is not copied here, that you might 
think I would be doing all that I posted all the time - actually, no - 
that is my learning process. That was my of making a "properly-formed" 
internet question!!   :)

Thanks
Vern
