Transform classes
If you want to specify different transform options for different transform situations, you can create different classes of the transform. For example, you could create a separate class that turns tracing on. You could use this transform class if IBM® directs you to trace the transform.
For each transform class, you must create a separate transform entry. You select a name for the transform class in the transform entry (see the transform attribute).
To use a transform class, job submitters must specify the class
name in the -c option on the pdf2afp or ps2afp transform
command or in the filter-options job attribute,
and administrators must specify the class name in the -c filter
option in the printer definition. For example, these z/OS® UNIX commands use the
tracetransform class:
pdf2afp -c trace -o myfile.afp myfile.pdf
lp -d myprinter -o "filter-options='-c trace'" myfile.pdfTip: The sample transform configuration
file, /usr/lpp/Printsrv/samples/aopxfd.conf,
shows examples of transform entries with different transform classes.
Also, see Examples -- Transform configuration file entries for the PDF to AFP and PostScript to AFP transforms.
