To view the reported output from a legacy DOS application

April 26, 2001 - Reading time: ~1 minute

Real Data Corp is using txt2pdf PRO

"Txt2pdf was just what we needed to solve an unusual data problem.
We are running a legacy DOS application under Citrix 1.8. We needed a way to view the reported output from this DOS application in the Citrix client window without printing it. We also needed to copy these reports in a printable format to the Windows based Citrix clients using the system. By making .pdfs out of these DOS reports on the fly under program control we could simply use Adobe 4.0 on the Citrix server as a viewer. These same .pdfs could be also copied across the Citrix link to remote Citrix clients for printing (and viewing) if desired by the user. This provided a printer independent means of printing the DOS reports on the client. Given that this is a small application with a limited budget, txt2pdf provided us with a simple affordable way to make these .pdf files and solved what was otherwise a very difficult problem .
Thank you Sanface for making this solution possible."
