| By dynamically interpreting and normalizing
IBM AFP print-streams during the same PRO transformation process
pass, clients can interface traditional computer systems with
newer printing technologies. The PRO
AFP Normalization solution interprets IBM AFP print-streams
and resources and converts and splits them into standard normalized
AFP files. These individual and normalized files can then be
printed directly to a printer or converted into other formats.
The key to the power and flexibility of PRO
AFP Normalization solution is the way it manages print
resources. The product determines which IBM resources is required
by an application and ensures that they are available for the
normalized output files.
The PRO AFP Normalization
solution contains a device driver that creates normalized AFP
output files. The normalized AFP files can be optimized through
run-time options which control the way that resources are managed
and the way that the normalized AFP is constructed. Normalized
files are page-independent. Any page in the file can be printed
or viewed without reading the previous pages, allowing quick
direct access to specific pages.
The PRO AFP Normalization
solution offers the greatest flexibility for font utilization
by providing several methods of handling IBM fonts. Fonts can
be referenced from the output file, or they can be outputted
at the beginning of the file as a set of downloaded resources,
or the fonts can be put into a separate download file.
