Hi folks,
I've managed to get pseudo printers working with CUPS to allow Windows PC's to
print a document which then gets converted to PDF, has stationery applied to
it, and the result emailed back to the requesting user.
I'm now on phase 2 of the project which uses
pseudo printer -> ps2pdf -> pdftotext -layout
to generate a text file which then is used to import data into my systems.
This method is because the system that generates the report doesn't have an
export facility.
My only problem with this is that the generating system uses images of a tick
and a cross to indicate some boolean values.
Can anyone suggest how I can convert these ticks and crosses back to their
boolean value?
