    quePDF V1.03

    (this document is best viewed with a monospaced font)
============================================================================ 
quePDF is a queue processor that manages the pipe between an application and
ePDF.

V1.03 changes
=============
[1] Fixed recognition of Maul Publisher documents.
[2] Added further information to this document.

Advantages
==========
* Fast spooler with a feedback popup to tell you something is happening.
* Threaded spooler will spool a new file before ePDF processing has finished.
* Maul Publisher aware, the spooler interfaces with Maul to provide a highly
  integrated solution. Transfers document information out of Maul Publisher
  and starts ePDF with those parameters.
* Runs quietly in the background and uses very few resources.

Usage
=====
* quePDF.exe must reside in the same folder as ePDF.exe.
* quePDF.msg must reside in the same folder as quePDF.exe
* quePDF.doc is the source file for quePDF.msg. It can be compiled with
  msgc.exe to create a new language.
* quePDF will look for Maul Publisher documents and will manage the transfer
  of bookmarks as well as Subject, Author, and Keyword strings.
* quePDF reads epdf.ini for the following entries:
quePDF->callparms->'string' - please leave empty, or set to a minimum
of "-PS:'%s'".
quePDF->batch - set to the string "1" to engage ePDF batch mode.
quePDF->spool - set the spool path. Defaults to '<ePDF path>\spool'

Commandline options
===================
Some commandline options are available. Commandline options will override
options specified via epdf.ini. It is strongly recommended to create a program
icon for quePDF and to set commandline parameters in the program icon
properties. The quePDF program icon can then be copied to a startup folder.

/q  Quiet mode. No message popups are displayed.
/b  Batch mode. ePDF will be started in batchmode.
/d  On it's own, this command sets the spool path to be the tmp directory as
    defined in config.sys
/dc:\path  sets the spool path to be c:\path (for example). if the path does
    not exist, quePDF will attempt to create it.

Action
======
* The folder 'spool' will be created as a subdirectory within the ePDF folder.
* The file quePDF.txt is created on startup. Delete this file to stop ePDF.
* When running with Maul Publisher, quePDF will delete intermediate bookmark
  and title files when they are no longer needed.
* When running with any other application, quePDF simply spools the postscript
  file and starts ePDF.

Using quePDF,ePDF and Maul Publisher
====================================
In addition to setting bookmarks, Maul Publisher offers the possibility to set 
the PDF document information. To make use of this option, start by typing the 
document information into the 'File settings' dialog (menu 'File->File 
settings...'). 

Next edit the ePDF properties (menu 'File->Properties'), go to the 'PDF file' 
tab and set 'Default PDF file name based on' to anything else except 'Source 
document file name / Postscript title'. 

This ensures the the document title is set by Maul Publisher, and not ePDF. 
The quePDF spooler should recognise that the source of the postscript data 
is from Maul Publisher, and transfer the required data to ePDF. 

Languages
=========
At the moment, quePDF is provided with english resources only. You can
translate the resources supplied in the languages folder and compile them
using msgc.exe.
