Hi,

with version 0.5.2 it is possible to extract numbers, thats great. But if I want to send mutliple faxes, for example via mail merge in word, I get the problem that only one print job is created with all the faxes in it. So if i send it to yajhfc it creates one fax with all pages and want to send it to all given numbers. Would be possible to use a page/fax seperator tag inside the document to get yajhfc to split the document into single faxes ? gfi faxmaker do this in the same way and I think this would be a great extension to the number extraction: http://support.gfi.com/manuals/en/fax12/fax12manual-1-070.html

Regards, Sven

Thanks for your feature request.

However, it is quite unlikely that such a feature will be implemented soon.

The reason for this is that with the current text extraction strategy YajHFC only gets all the text from the document, but not the information where exactly that text was in the document.

(It might be possible to get that information and implement such a separator, but that most likely would be a lot of work and involve a rewrite of a part of the program, so that will most likely not happen anytime soon...)
