Not only that, it looks like you can use the dll to trigger the photoshop and typesetting stuff using the `void scEndOfJob(SCFILEINFO)` function. It looks like something you could hack out in C or C++ in a couple of hours, though that might depend on how the photoshop macro works. I'm not particularly knowledgeable about how photoshop can be automated, so I can't comment on what would be involved in getting that fired up. Is the typesetting program TeX based? --\n-------------------------------------------------------------------\n Jack Troughton jake at consultron.ca \n [link\|http://consultron.ca\|http://consultron.ca] [link\|irc://irc.ecomstation.ca\|irc://irc.ecomstation.ca] \n Kingston Ontario Canada [link\|news://news.consultron.ca\|news://news.consultron.ca] *\n-------------------------------------------------------------------

Post #241,967 by broomberg 1/20/06 7:30:31 PM Reply	Nope We've proven that the MS Word based templating will give us exactly what we want, from an appearance perspective. Which is the primary focus. So everything follows that, and ther other people who have already proven it out cannot be tasked with redoing it. Especially if it meant we would try to force the client to install OO.
