<h2>Success stories</h2>
Several years of development has made pslib a mature library used
by many programmers and designers. This is just a list of the most
impressive work done with pslib.
<h3 class="success-title">Seedbags</h3>
<p><a href="seedp.jpg"><img src="seedp.jpg" align="left" width="200" border="0"></a><a href="http://www.nelson.se/">Bröderna Nelsons Frö AB</a>
from Sweden has been one of the
first professional users of pslib. Here is what Hendrik Johansson says
about pslib:</p>
<p><i>We use pslib with its php bindings in a lot of different applications.
Simple things like transport labels with barcodes as well as our most
important product, the "Lord Nelson" seedpocket, are created
automatically. We managed the production of over 1200 seedpocket
documents with translation into three different languages, storing the
texts and data in a MySQL database and produced the final documents
with a pslib based application written in php. The ps files where
converted into pdf files for print with Adobe Acrobat Distiller and
emailed directly to the printers in Germany. The "Lord Nelson"
seedpocket is the top selling seed-product in scandinavia.
With the help of pslib developer Uwe Steinmann we got additional
features built in like overprint and spot colors which are very
important when creating for print.</i></p>
<p><i>The possibilites with this kind of approach as opposed to making
software like Quark Xpress perfom these tasks has proven faster and
more versatile. Since we can apply logic in a much more efficinent way,
we have far more control over the finished product.</i></p>
<p>Here are some example pdf files:</p>
<p><a href="60972.pdf">Tomat</a><br />
<a href="63334.pdf">Palettblad</a><br />

is an Australian online computer retailer who uses
a custom enterprise application to run their entire business. Aus PC's
application uses PHP, Apache, Postgres, Mnogosearch, and pslib. pslib is
used to produce all <a href="auspc/invoice.pdf" title="example invoice">invoices</a> and <a href="auspc/system_build.pdf" title="example build-slip">build-slips</a>. Printing is handled via
CUPS running over SSL to local printers around their office. PDF's are
generated on the fly with ghostscript for customers to download.</p>
<p>Here are some example documents:</p>
<p>Invoice: <a href="auspc/invoice.pdf">PDF</a>, <a href="auspc/invoice.ps">PostScript</a><br />
<p>System Slip: <a href="auspc/system_build.pdf">PDF</a>, <a href="auspc/system_build.ps">PostScript</a><br />
<p>Shopping Cart: <a href="auspc/shopping_cart.pdf">PDF</a>, <a href="auspc/shopping_cart.ps">PostScript</a></p>

designs and manufactures monitoring and signal conversion
equipment to major broadcasters around the world. They sell products in
many different configurations, but one high-profile line is our 7700
modular series</p>
<p>The power of a modular system is customisability: Users can
select from about 500 discrete modules with widely varying
functions and group them in our standard 3RU MULTIFRAME, just like
mixing-and-matching components when building a PC.</p>
<p>The Frame Layout tool allows users to dynamically build their
frames in the desired configuration and submit them for quotes
and/or to request the modules in a certain configuration on
delivery. The PSLib extension allows us to offer not just a web
graphic of a user's completed frame, but a vector-based EPS
graphic and a DXF drawing (via ghostscript + pstoedit). This
allows users to import their completed drawings into existing 3D
rack layout diagrams of, for instance, a mobile video truck, or a
broadcast monitoring centre. System integrators find this very
useful for planning cable runs between frames (among other
things), because all the connectors are visible.</p>
