Key concepts

Group Trigger: Group triggers identify the beginning of a group. You must define at least one group trigger. Trigger1 must be a group trigger.
Group Index: Indexes generated once for each group. All data stored in Content Manager OnDemand must be indexed by group (even if a group contains only one page).
Index Break: Indexes that determine when ACIF closes the current group and begins a new group. One of the group indexes determines when ACIF breaks groups. However, a group index based on a floating trigger cannot be used to control the group break.
Convert: Determines whether ACIF converts the input data to AFP. You typically convert line data to AFP to format the data into pages and enhance the appearance of the output with images, graphics, fonts, and bar codes.
Resources: Objects required to load, view, and print AFP data. If the input data is AFP or you convert line data to AFP, you must specify resources and resource paths.
