Mixed Object Document Content Architecture data
Mixed Object Document Content Architecture (MO:DCA) is an architected, device-independent data
stream that is used for interchanging documents between different systems. ACIF accepts these MO:DCA
Presentation Interchange Set (IS) data streams:
- MO:DCA AFP Archive (AFP/A)
- Ensures page independence and eliminates images without clearly specified resolution, device default fonts, and external resources.
- MO:DCA IS/3
- Provides interoperability among AFP products that are MO:DCA IS/3 compliant. It also provides enhanced functions, including support for color and the latest fonts, images, and graphics.
- MO:DCA AFP/A, IS/3
- Complies with the rules and restrictions of both the AFP/A and IS/3 interchange sets.
- MO:DCA Graphic Arts Function Set (GA)
- Adds PDF presentation object container support with this extension of MO:DCA IS/3.
ACIF supports MO:DCA-P data with these restrictions:
- Every structured field must be in one record and cannot span multiple records.
- Each record (structured field) must contain a X'5A' character before the first byte of the structured field introducer.
ACIF does not change most of the MO:DCA-P structured fields it processes because they are already in the correct format. However, although the MO:DCA-P input data stream might contain multiple Begin Document (BDT) and End Document (EDT) structured fields, the ACIF output normally contains only one BDT/EDT structured-field pair. To pass all of the BDT/EDT pairs to the output data stream, the INDEXOBJ=BDTLY parameter is specified. See Output MO:DCA-P data stream for information about the changes ACIF makes to support MO:DCA-P output format.
