CRTeurope has revolutionized the method
of transforming PCL print documents to Advanced Function Printing
(AFPDS) format. PRO PCL to AFP
integrates seamlessly with IBM's InfoPrint Manager and OnDemand
products. Often, solutions in the market
today can convert PCL to AFP, however
they convert all of the text to images with the result being
an AFP file that is very large and cumbersome and the print
file cannot be indexed for archival and viewing. PRO
PCL to AFP performs an object-to-object transformation
creating an optimized and compatible AFP file. This permits
products like StreamWeaver and others to process the transformed
files without any difficulties.
With PRO PCL to AFP, superior
image fidelity is achieved. Fonts, images, logos and forms appear
exactly the same on AFP printers as they do on PCL printers.
PRO PCL to AFP dynamically transforms
fonts to AFP, providing superior font fidelity. The key to the
power and flexibility of PRO PCL to AFP
is the way it manages print resources by automatically converting
them into AFP resources thereby simplifying the implementation
process.
PRO PCL to AFP contains
support for an extensive array of PCL print resources including
PCL bitmap fonts, images and macros. Resources are placed into
Resource Groups, which can be embedded or put into a separate
file. This design enables Windows and Unix applications to get
their AFP data optimized.
PRO PCL to AFP also provides
an easy migration path for PCL printer customers who want to
move their applications to the AFP architecture without making
costly application changes. Index entries can be automatically
inserted into AFP files when they are converted thus making
it possible to use the output files with archival systems such
as OnDemand. |
