Hacking ExtendedPDF to work with Evolution?
If using cups-pdf, know that there are many configuration setting that can be tweaked to do all kinds of things.
Look at the /etc/cups/cups-pdf.conf file.
Just like OO uses ExtendedPDF as the backend, most all apps do something similar.
As long as the app uses stdin/stdout, you might be very surprised how easy it is to build something yourself.

There are too many apps to list that can convert and manipulate files to and from PDF.
Here is a good start: :hihi:

I no longer use Evolution (too bloated for me) and have been w/Claws-Mail for the past couple years.
One example would be to save mail as html, then maybe use sed/awk to strip out any unwanted cruft, and pipe that into something like htmldoc.
Could even eliminate the GUI mail client altogether and use something like getmail (replaces fetchmail)/procmail combo to pull mail and pipe that into your script?
If I knew exactly what you needed, I could whip you up a simple bash script for ya.
I'm successfully using gscan2pdf to scan in my documents on a Brother MFC8860-DN scanner (after installing Brother's deb).
Thanx for that.
I'm still doing the old school thing. Scan w/Xsane save as image --> use Imagemagick's "convert" to .ps --> output that to pstopdf.
after checking out the gscan2pdf site, looks like that does the same type of thing except using perl?
BTW, I dispise Adobe Acrobat. OK, anything Adobe.
If you have the kdelibs installed (should be if you run anything kde), check out Oklular, it is very nice.
