Supported objects and controls
The AFP to PDF transform supports
these objects and controls:
- AFP resources
-
- Line data
-
- Carriage control (ANSI, machine).
- CHARS
- Mixed line data and AFP records
(including IDM, IMM).
- Record-format line data.
- Traditional line data
- Table reference characters.
- Shift-out/shift-in for DBCS data: SOSI1,
SOSI2, SOSI3, and SOSI4 options.
- MO:DCA-P objects
-
- BCOCA (see Table 3 for the bar codes that the AFP to PDF transform
supports)
- FOCA:
- Single-byte (SBCS) fonts:
- 300-pel raster fonts (fixed and relative metrics)
- 240-pel raster fonts (fixed and relative metrics)
- AFP outline fonts
- Double-byte (DBCS) fonts:
- 300-pel raster fonts (fixed and relative metrics)
- 240-pel raster fonts (fixed and relative metrics)
- AFP outline fonts
- True Type, Open Type, and World Type fonts
- GOCA: All functions
Note:
The transform positions
GOCA characters like normal text by using the font size in the GOCA
data stream. Characters are not scaled, and the cell size in the GOCA
data stream is ignored. The printed output will be similar to the
output on most newer IBM® AFP printers. This positioning method
is likely to produce the most readable output.
- IM: All functions, in single and double dot,
in all rotations
- IOCA:
- FS45 tiled, compressed, and uncompressed image objects
except: Include Tile parameter, Referencing Tile structure, IOCA Tile
Resource structure
- Uncompressed, compressed MMR, G3, G4, RL4, JPEG
baseline and extended
- IDE 1-8, 24 (lookup table)
- Link Logical Element (LLE) and Tag Logical
Element (TLE) structured fields
- Map Media Type (MMT)
- Object
containers for PDF documents and GIF, JFIF, JPEG, and TIFF image objects
- PTOCA1, PTOCA2
- XML data
- XML data encoded in EBCDIC (code page IBM-1047).
The XML data encoding must match the encoding scheme defined in the
page definition.
Table 3 lists the bar codes that the AFP to
PDF transform supports.
