Hi list, I am hoping someone can either point me in the right direction, or tell me if I am over-complicating things! I am wanting to be able to read a ".pdf" document in lynx without having to save the pdf file or parse it through an external convertor. http://access.adobe.com has a perl/cgi script which you can pass a url to and it will convert the pdf document to html on the fly. For those interested, the url is: http://access.adobe.com/perl/convertPDF.pl?url=subdomain.domain/file.pdf My idea was to set up an entry in my .mailcap file which could process the "application/pdf" mime-type and load the url via a another lynx command like: application/pdf; lynx http://access.adobe.com/perl/convertPDF.pl?url=%s Of course the above entry is broken because the "%s" mailcap variable translates to a local temperary file created by lynx and not the remote url/FileName. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get this to work, possible alternatives, or maybe a way to do this within the lynx.cfg file? thanks Monty -- -------------------------------------------------------------- SUBMERGED IN THE 6o4 AREA CODE A proud user of the LINUX Operating System! ----------------------------------------------------------------------
