I work mainly in theatre and rock and roll. In the theatre world we love paperwork. Generating reports on a HOG 2 is fine but I want to have some sort of control over the data. I can print in .PS files and then convert them to .PDF or print direct using PCL. In the PDF I can't edit the data and of course with the paper copy all I can do is scribble all over it.
I have tried to use the text dump file that the HOG 2 generates too but when I load that into Excel for example it can't load the file as there are too many columns.
The ideal situation would be to get a .PS or .txt file into Excel so that I can create vertical and horizontal look ups to gather data. Basically I want to find stuff like what units are in a position pallete and is it used in the show.
Has anyone found a good way to do this?
