One-Shot Graphical Customisation Processor
GCSINGLE inputfile outputfile
This program processes a single call to the F7GCOVER graphical customisation DLL. It can be used either for previewing/testing graphical customisation or for conversion of faxable TIF files to PDF or supported image formats.
The input file can be a .GCT file, a .GTT file, or a .TIF file. In the last case the file is processed as if it were a watermark file in a GCT with no annotations. The output format is determined by the file extension of the output filename.
If the filename specifies a .GCT or .GTT file and the output file has a TIF extension, then the file is converted to TIF (with any required customization applied) before transmission.
If the filename specifies a .TIF, .GCT or .GTT file and the output file has a PDF extension, then the file is converted to PDF (with any required customization applied) before transmission. The temporary PDF file is created in the same place as graphical customization TIF files. The size of the resulting document is determined by whether the letters P D and F in the output file extension are in upper or lower case:
| US Letter size (8.5 by 11 inches), unless the image height is over 12 inches, in which case Legal Size (8.5 by 14 inches) |
| A4 size (210 by 197mm), unless the image height is over 12 inches, in which case Legal Size (8.5 by 14 inches) |
| Legal size (8.5 by 14 inches) |
| 8.5 inches wide, length depends on TIF image height |
| 210mm wide, length depends on TIF image height |
If the filename specifies a .TIF, .GCT or .GTT file and the output file has extension GIF, JPG, JPEG or PNG, then the file is converted to the appropriate image type (with any required customization applied) before transmission. Multi-page files become multiple single-page image files with _01, _02, etc. added to the filename part. The document dimensions are preserved.
Note that NO variables are expanded during GCT or GTT processing, since no context is available from which to expand them.
