I am interested in any PDF creation software for Unix.

I have OS5.0.7.

I know ghostscript , but it is difficult to compile .

Any idea where to find a binary ? Or any other software ?

Ghostscript can create PDFs in OSR 5.0.7 - I've done it.

Is this for PDF creation ? Or just a viewer ?

Thanks

I do it for Hylafax with Sco 5.0.4

The output is from a PCL printer or read a file
cat outfile$ | /tmp/fax3 $PHONE $SERVER $SENDER 2>/dev/null

My script: fax3
---------------------------cut here ---------------------
#!/bin/sh
PHONE=$1
SERVER=$2
SENDER=$3
cat $4 > /tmp/temp.$$
# /usr/local/bin/pcl2ps /tmp/temp2.$$ /tmp/temp3.$$
/usr/local/bin/pcl2pdf /tmp/temp2.$$ /tmp/temp3.$$

# sent to fax
/usr/local/bin/sendfax -m -n -d $PHONE -h $SERVER -D $SENDER /tmp/temp3.$$
1>/dev/null

rm -f /tmp/temp.$$
rm -f /tmp/temp2.$$
rm -f /tmp/temp3.$$
exit 0
------------------------------------end cut ---------------------------

I do it using ghostscript found at
ftp://ftp2.sco.com/pub/skunkware/osr...-6.51-VOLS.tar

and ghostpcl already build under SCO 5.0.7 by Brian K. White

I find always troubles istalling new soft.

After following your advise and properly install the 6.51 from media
images , when I try to run pcl2pdf I get the following message:

>>>>>

Any idea what this can be ?

the actual executable binary for the package called ghostpcl is pcl6
the binary for ghostscript is "gs"
pcl2pdf is a shell script that runs pcl6
you say you ran pcl2pdf, but the error message looks like it came from
gs not from pcl6
did you edit pcl2pdf or something?

pcl6 expects to read PCL data.
gs expects to read PS (postscript) data.

what kind of data are you feeding in?
