I have fax info stored in a table:
FaxNbr FaxTo FaxFrom I need to take that info along with a pdf file that sits on the Network and somehow send to our Fax server(RightFax) to automatically go out. Put it to a share that the fax server sees and processes. Does anyone have any ideas how I could do this. Do I need to take this fax info from the table an imbed into the pdf ? any ideas would be appreciated. Hi
I don't know how the fax software uses the address and file details to send the fax. If there is an API you could write a small program that reads the data from the database using ADO and faxes the pdf file using the API and the data retrieved.

PDF SDK to learn more of pdf structure and how you would edit it. http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/pdf/index_reference.html -- Show quote-oj "Hoosbruin" <Hoosbr***@Kconline.com> wrote in message news:QfidnRSBJsd_R1LfRVn-qg@kconline.com... >I believe Adobe was used to create the pdf... any example how I could >merge/append this sql table data inside the file. > > thanks again. > > > > > "oj" <nospam_ojngo@home.com> wrote in message > news:eQZUabGhFHA.2064@TK2MSFTNGP14.phx.gbl... >> you could use xp_cmdshell + cutepdf or adobe pdf editor to make a change >> to the pdf and save it to the network share. >> >> -- >> -oj >> >> >> "Hoosbruin" <Hoosbr***@Kconline.com> wrote in message >> news:NbydnQwrwIE1gFLfRVn-2A@kconline.com... >>>I have fax info stored in a table: >>> >>> FaxNbr >>> FaxTo >>> FaxFrom >>> >>> I need to take that info along with a pdf file that sits on the Network >>> and somehow send to our Fax server(RightFax) to automatically go out. >>> Put it to a share that the fax server sees and processes. >>> >>> Does anyone have any ideas how I could do this.

If all
recipients of the fax receive the same pdf you don't have to modify the pdf. The fax software will create a individual cover sheet for each recipient, and each recipient could receive the same generic pdf. If this is the case don't get involved in modifying the pdf.
