The MRG2FAP utility includes limited support for converting Mixed Mode AFP source files into FAP or PDF files.
The utility assumes the Mixed Mode AFP source contains AFP commands and line data for one or more pages. A single page/side consists of an AFP Invoke Medium Map command, followed by an AFP Invoke Data Map command, optionally followed by an Invoke Page Segment (IPS) command, followed by a line of actual, unformatted line data. The line data must be formatted using the AFP commands and formatting information contained in the invoked Medium Map and Data Map.
All AFP resources, including the AFP source file, the PageDef (page definition) file, and the FormDef (form definition) file must be in variable block format.
Note | Additional resources, such as AFP overlays and page segments, must also be in variable block format. Only 4-byte variable block format has been tested. |
Keep in mind...
< PrtType:AFP >
FormDef = F1POLL.fde
PageDef = P1POLL.pde
Both files are necessary for converting Mixed Mode AFP into FAP or PDF files.
Note | Although inlined medium maps have been tested in regular AFP conversions, inlined medium maps and inlined data maps have not been tested in a Mixed Mode environment. |
