# Calling AcrobatReader for PDF to PostScript.

# that we should shrink the document to the size of the medium.
#Variable: del.acroread \
#   acroread -toPostScript -size "#wx#h" -shrink

# Passes the options to psnup.  A problem with psnup is that even if
# no service is requested, the PostScript is altered.  There are such
# problems with dvips.  A symptom is that the figure are spread on
# several pages.  To avoid that, with ``-1'', we use cat instead of
# psnup -1.
# The files (in and out) are to be given if not stdin and stdout.
Variable: del.psnup \

#
# Variables for special printers.

#################################################################
# 5)	Preconfigured delegations                               #
#################################################################
#
# Delegations are ways to hand off the processing of some
# files to other filters.
#
# When delegating, interesting meta sequences are
# $f         -- current filename, i.e. the one to delegate.
#               Note that $f expands exactly to the file, which means
#               that in most cases you need '$f' (with the two quotes)
#               to avoid both (i) problems with space in names, and
#               (ii) other shell active characters, such as $.
#               Yeah, I know, we need something more elaborated in case
#               the file has quotes ' in it :-(
# #f0 to #f9 -- temporary filename you can use.
#               rm is done by a2ps itself.  No need to quote.
#

########## Compressed files
# A compressed file should be decompressed and processed by a2ps
# A consequence is that the decompressed file may be delegated.
Delegation: gzip-a2ps gzip:ps     gzip -cd '$f' | #{del.a2ps}

Delegation: gzip-a2ps compress:ps gzip -cd '$f' | #{del.a2ps}

#Delegation: bzip-a2ps bzip:ps     bzip -cd '$f' | #{del.a2ps}

Delegation: bzip2-a2ps bzip2:ps   bzip2 -cd '$f' | #{del.a2ps}

########## DVI files
# Pass DVI files to dvips.
# * A problem with dvips is that even on failure it dumps its
#   prologue, hence it looks like a success (output is produced). To
#   avoid that, we use an auxiliary files and conditional call to psnup
#   instead of piping.
# * It tries to figure if the doc is landscape (use of seminar for
#   instance) by looking for `landscape' in the first strings of
#   the DVI file.
Delegation: dvips dvi:ps\
   if strings '$f' | sed 10q | fgrep landscape > /dev/null 2>&1; then \
     #{del.dvips} -T#hpt,#wpt '$f' -o #f0 && #?o|cat|#{del.psnup} -r| #f0; \

########## HTML files
# Delegated to html2ps
Delegation: html2ps html:ps \
    html2ps -D -o #f0 '$f' && #{del.psselect} #f0 | #{del.psnup}
# Delegated to Netscape
# Pass HTML to Netscape, hoping that there is an Netscape running...
# Tricks:
# 1. Netscape can't output on stdout, hence use a tmp file (#f0)
# 2. openfile refuses relative paths, so prepend cwd (%d) when relative
# 3. remote 'openfile' -remote 'saveas' is bad, because it is handled
#    asynchronously, and the output can correspond to a previously
#    loaded page (not that of openfile).  So run Netscape twice.
# 4. It asks the user if s/he wants to replace an existing output file,
#    so rm before.
#Delegation: Netscape html:ps    \
#  if test -L /home/kcnarf/.netscape/lock; then \
#    rm -f #f0; \
#    if echo '$f' | grep '^/' >/dev/null 2>&1; then \
#      ${NETSCAPE:-netscape} -noraise -remote 'openfile($f)'; \
#    else \
#      ${NETSCAPE:-netscape} -noraise -remote 'openfile(%d/$f)'; \
#    fi && \
#    ${NETSCAPE:-netscape} -noraise -remote 'saveas(#f0,postscript)' && \
#    #{del.psselect} #f0 | #{del.psnup}; \
#  elif (which html2ps) >/dev/null 2>&1; then \
#    html2ps -D -o #f0 '$f' && #{del.psselect} #f0 | #{del.psnup}; \
#  else \
#    echo "cannot delegate html: Netscape and html2ps are not available" >&2; \
