SynapseDirect

Try beta-8

I was able to position the cat just on the signature line using this command, just before the showpage command.

at 210x-450 eps %/c/texmf/demofig.eps

Since the eps wants to position the image high on the page, I used a negative y offset to bring it down to where I wanted it.

Getting different results with different .eps files.

(#1) my image  rxheader.eps  - greyscale

I can place it where I want it.  I have been trying it on the bottom.   

Problem #1 - it prints two pages, no matter what I do.  regardless of where I put it on the page (end, middle).  I think it is printing "too far to the right" and the second page is created by the image being too wide, not too long.  It seems to mess up GSView as well.  When it prints two pages, I can move to the second page (which is blank) but when I am on the second page, I can't move back to the first.

Problem #2 - a smaller image doesnt print smaller, something is resizing it to fit the entire page width.

(#2)  with file: tiger.eps  ( a coloured tiger picture )

I am using this program to make the .eps files. 

http://www.pdflib.com/download/free-software/jpeg2ps/

FYI, GSView doesn't open the tiger.eps.

But my Graphics Converter Pro program does. 

The yellow box is supposed to indicate where the image is to go .. but really it depends on where the EPS file says it goes.

Why don't you post the first few lines of the EPS file so we can look at the settings.

Try beta-9 which wraps some walls around the eps file.

Beta 9 worked well.

GSview didnt print 2 pages, just the one :)

Attached is a PDFsearchable scanned copy of it.

Many years ago, I used to add seasonal themes ( images ) to my letters a la Google.

Perhaps I can do that again!

I'm going to now see if I can add a scaling command so that the eps can be rescaled on the fly. 

Jason:

I am using this program to make the .eps files. 

http://www.pdflib.com/download/free-software/jpeg2ps/

That's the one !

I wonder if writing the prescription using a bar code font is allowable!

I'm thinking NO

I am trying to add a line to my prescriptions:

PharmacyName, City.

I know the variable names are:

at 330x680 (pharmanamefld/text) (pharmacityfld/text)

Is it possible to add these fields as follows:

[pharmacy name][comma][space][pharmacy city][period]

?

Try

at 330x680 ( rejoin [ trim pharmanamefld/text ", " trim pharmacityfld/text "." ])
