Hi, This is my first post here. I'm trying to create PDF files from other applications running in Wine 0.9.56. I've installed Autosketch Release 5 and Adobe Acrobat Writer V4.0 in Wine (in that order). Each of these programs work well in Wine by themselves, but I can't figure out how to get Autosketch to use Adobe Writer to create PDF files.

hi, i have a problem when i try to print from my w2k client to samba 3.0.2a-suse (cups is running). Samba is running and I?m able to share the home-directories from the w2k - client. But if I try to connect to the printers on my Samba server with smbclient //linux/canon_s750 -U root -P I get the message: Failed to open /secrets.tdb As root the message is: ERROR: Unable to fetch machine password my

Hello, I am getting requests to place our PDF slides (output from beamer) into Microsoft Powerpoint formats (.ppt). What's the best practice or any recommended software packages (any success with open or commercial) that we can use to convert PDF slides into an EDITABLE powerpoint deck? Thanks in advance.

Colleagues Running R2.2.1 on either a Linux (RedHat 9) or Mac (10.4) platform. I created a PDF document using pdf("FILENAME.pdf", bg="transparent", version="1.4"). I then imported the graphic into PowerPoint - background was set to a non-transparent color. I was hoping that the inserted graphic would be transparent - instead, it had a white background.

Hi! How can I get rid off "lpq: Unknown destination "pdf"!" warning message in my /var/log/samba/smbd file. I have a pdf maker defined in my smb.conf as follows and it works allright: ... [pdf] comment = PDF creator printing = bsd path = /var/tmp printable = yes print command = /usr/bin/smbprngenpdf -J '%J' -c %c -s %s -u '%u' -z %z

We are trying to migrate to samba from NT4 data servers, We don't currently allow users the execute permission on data drives, so I have setup data drives with a creat mask of 0660 which seems ok. The problem I'm having it that both powerpoint and PDF files seem to need the 'x' bit set before users can edit or open the files. Has anybody else had this problem? and if so could you

As you know, Samba up to and including 3.0.8 contains a share "pdf" which is meant to convert an incoming postscript job to PDF. At least in SUSE Linux as well as the Sernet RPMs this is broken because as documented "print command" is ignored if Samba is compiled against libcups and "printing=cups" (see smb.conf man page lines 4564 ff. in 3.0.8 and Chap. 18 of the

Hi, after taking a look at the samba-3.0.9 Sernet packages I see that smb.conf is in the samba3-client package not the server package. This smb.conf lacks about every pre-built share we had before. Anyway... I posted this before but no answer yet: As you know, Samba up to and including 3.0.8 contains a share "pdf" which is meant to convert an incoming postscript job to PDF. At least

I use an application that should produce a .pdf (and in fact it does, in Windows). Unfortunately I've got no way to see that file. The printing process apparently starts, and the pdf-file option is accepted, but no file is produced at all (searched with find -mmin). The pdf-cups alternative also proves ineffective. My guess is that the current wine installation lacks some library, which is

Hi everyone. I've been looking into the subject of "printing" to PDF with Samba in the last couple of days. Sorry to say that I wasted some time trying to figure out why the [print-pdf generator] in smb.conf didn't work. As always reading every comment carefully will pay off in terms of time wasted! After I realized that with printing = cups in smb.conf samba ignores any

This is a snip of my smb.conf file. This share will create a pdf file and deposit the output in a samba share for retrieval. It works. On the client side you add a printer pointing to the smbpdf share and give it a PS printer driver. When you print to this printer(smbpdf) it creates the pdf file. I'd like to change one thing and this thing is golden. When printing a file called file.txt the

Hello! I am struggling for quite some time with proper printing of local characters in pdf plot, via Sweave snippets in Rnw file. When I am working directly within R, all is fine and I can get local character properly, like: pdf('figs/fig-relativeEntropy0.pdf', h=6, w=6, encoding='CP1250') matplot(par[, c(3)], type='b', ylim=c(0,0.5), xaxt='n', pch=c(21),

Hello, I'm hoping someone can help me. I have several pdf printers set up and when I print to them samba becomes unstable and several errors are dumped to the log. These pdf printers were working when I was using version 3.0.6. When I went to a newer version of samba the queue would not clear on the windows side and no errors were logged. Yesterday I upgraded to version 3.0.13-1 and the

I've been upgrading a client's systems from Win98SE to WinXP and am having an unexpected problem. I have 2 Linux servers. One is a print and fax server which has worked fine with the Win98 workstations. They can browse and find the printer (an HP LaserJet 5Si) and print without problems. The server itself is also running HylaFax and is printing with out a problem. The XP systems

Hi everybody, I would like to ask if it is possible using pdf function or some other to print plots in cycle such that every new plot is on new page. like this pdf(file="D:/Plot.pdf",width = 9.25,height=9.25, family="Helvetica",pointsize=8,bg="white") for (i in 1:10){ x <- seq(1,40,1) y <- 2*x+1+5*rnorm(length(x)) hist(y,freq = FALSE) plot(density(y)) }

Hello, When I try printing to PDF file from wine via cups-pdf, and look at the file with gpdf, I see all drawings, but no text. Any ideas? I run debian Sarge, with cups and wine from unstable. That is: cups 1.1.23 cups-pdf 2.2.0 wine 0.9.11 Max

Hi, I created a Sweave file (see below). when I want to convert tex file generated from it into pdf, I get error message as follows: > texi2dvi("test.tex", pdf=TRUE) Error in texi2dvi("test.tex", pdf = TRUE) : Running 'texi2dvi' on 'test.tex' failed. LaTeX errors: ! Undefined control sequence. l.8 \begin {Schunk} ? ! Interruption. !

List, I updated a gateway/router computer with Centos 5.6 and lost the ability to print pdf and tif files with the command "lp -d printer img.tif" This new unit replaced a Fedora 5 system that had been working well, and is still able to print pdf and tif files withing the same network. I have other Centos 5.6 gateway's at different facilities that print the pdf and tif files

Colleagues, OS: OS X R: 2.10.1 I want a mu (?) to appear in text that is created using a PDF device. However, the ? does not appear as intended; instead, it is replaced by two dots. A minimal example is: > pdf("mu.pdf") > plot(1,1, type="n") > text(1,1, "\u3BC") > dev.off() The "text" command yields the following warning messages: >
