Mixed Object Document Content Architecture™ Data

ACIF supports MO:DCA data as a valid input data stream.

The following restrictions apply:
  • Every structured field must appear in one record and cannot span multiple records.
  • Each record (structured field) must contain a hexadecimal 5A (X'5A') character before the first byte of the structured field introducer.

ACIF does not transform the MO:DCA data it processes, but might change certain structured fields. For example, ACIF converts MCF1 structured fields in the input to MCF2 structured fields in the output. If the MO:DCA input data stream contains multiple Begin Document (BDT) and End Document (EDT) structured fields, the output contains only one BDT/EDT structured field pair. The output page always remains the same; the output MO:DCA data might not contain the same structured fields or the structured fields might not appear in the same order.
