Interesting.  I had noticed at a PDF would work about 50% of the time.  I had
thought it had to do with the age of fax machine at the other end.  Post Script
seems to always work.

Made me look at one of your PDF exports in binary more.  You are indeed not
wrapping a Post Script file.  So you truly do not have a Post Script available
for export.  So, as much as I would like to say otherwise, my request is
invalid.

This is probably all a mute point anyway, I have found that after making a
positive contact on a cold call that the potential new client responds much
better to a letter, with a couple of business cards paper clipped to it, than
an eMail (press delete or junk) or a fax (toss in trash).   So I have stopped
fax'ing and eMailing. And, because I Libre Office can not print envelopes (bugs
42325, 42326, 42327), I have had to revert back to Word Pro in an XP virtual
machine.

And, come to think of it, I'd rather continue to use Envince to convert my
PDF's to Post Scripts and have you guys put your efforts to fixing the terrible
way Office Office (which you inherited) handles envelopes.

Thank you all for the time you put in on my enhancement request.  Please close
it.

p.s. I would love it if you emulated Word Pro's envelope printing.  It really
works well.
