Chapter 1. Introducing the afp2pdf transform
The afp2pdf transform converts Mixed Object Document Content Architecture™
(MO:DCA-P) documents, also called AFP™ documents, to Adobe® Portable
Document Format (PDF) documents to be viewed, archived, e-mailed, or printed.

The afp2pdf transform can be invoked from the command line. You can also
configure the InfoPrint® Manager transform subsystem to invoke the afp2pdf
transform.

| What’s new in Version 1.5?

| This section describes the new functions for the afp2pdf transform that are
| included with Version 1.5 of the afp2pdf Transform PRPQ.

| Version 1.5 includes these functions:

| TrueType font support
| You can convert an AFP document with TrueType fonts, and the TrueType
| fonts are embedded in the resulting PDF document.
| You can also map your TrueType fonts to create a much smaller PDF file.
| By adding your TrueType Fonts to the ttdef.fnt file with settings for the
| familyname, style, weight appropriately, the afp2pdf transform maps the
| TrueType fonts.
| You can map your DBCS TrueType fonts to Type0 fonts.
| TrueType fonts are either embedded as internal resources, or they can be
| referenced as external resources and mapped. In either case, the font may
| be defined through the coded font name or with a character set/code page
| pair.
| Outline FOCA support
| The afp2pdf transform now supports Outline Font Object Content
| Architecture (FOCA). The addition of FOCA support improves character
| placement for AFP raster fonts and provides 100% font fidelity for AFP
| outline fonts.
| Outline fonts are either embedded as internal resources, or they can be
| referenced as external resources and mapped. In either case, the font may
| be defined through the coded font name or with a character set/code page
| pair.
| JFIF and GIF support
| JFIF or GIF images defined in an AFP document are displayed in the PDF
| file.
| Inline Medium Map
| The afp2pdf transform now processes the correct medium map for Inline
| Medium Maps.
| Bar code support
| These bar codes are supported by the afp2pdf transform:
| v Data Matrix
| v PDF417

Limitations of the afp2pdf transform

Limitations associated with the afp2pdf transform include:
Pre-requisites InfoPrint Manager for AIX® Version 4 Release 3 or InfoPrint
Manager for Windows Version 2 Release 3
The afp2pdf Transform PRPQ, Version 1.5.0, Program Number 5799-HBQ,
pre-requisites InfoPrint Manager for AIX Version 4 Release 3, Program
Number 5648-F35 with PTF UO00917 or InfoPrint Manager for Windows
Version 2 Release 3, Program Number 5648-F36, with PTF UO00918.
No translations available
Only English versions of the documentation and user interfaces are
provided.
| Text fidelity
| The afp2pdf transform uses font substitutions to convert MO:DCA-P and
| PTOCA, which means that text fidelity will most likely not match if
| displayed views of PDF are compared with printed views of IPDS™ on
| paper. Outline fonts in the MO:DCA-P are converted to Type1 fonts.
| However, when fonts are provided for the transform, the afp2pdf
| transform can produce text fidelity.
Image quality
The transformed image data might not match if a user compares the

2 InfoPrint Manager: afp2pdf Transform User’s Guide

printed output on paper with the PDF data viewed on a display. Several
factors that contribute to the differences are:
v Color differences between displayed image and printed output. For
example, a monitor used with Microsoft® Windows® typically uses RGB
color while a printer typically uses another color model like CMYK or
halftoned black and white.
v Resolution differences between displayed image and printed output.
For example, a monitor typically uses 72 or 96 dpi while a printer uses
much greater resolution like 240, 300, 600, and so forth.
v Anomalies if resolution changes occur. The algorithms used to convert
images from AFP to PDF use a brute force algorithm to eliminate pixels
that sometimes create horizontal or vertical lines in the image strips.
| Text support
| Since the afp2pdf transform converts all AFP fonts to a single PDF
| encoding, not all glyphs can be represented properly. However, if the fonts
| used to display the text are not mapped fonts, the afp2pdf transform can
| create custom encoding in the PDF file, and it can display glyphs from
| different languages.
Enhanced n-up is not supported
The afp2pdf transform does not support enhanced n-up. The transform
acknowledges each logical page as a physical page.
| CMR (Color Management Resource) is not supported
| When CMR is used, it is ignored.
Medium Copy Count limit
Medium Copy Count is limited to 1.

| Note: Make sure that the version of the InfoPrint Manager clients is the same as
| the version that is installed on the server.

fdef = form definition

-C ConfigurationFile 6986 -S ServerName
-P
port

afpfile

Parameters

-o OutputFile

Specifies the output path and file name of the output PDF file. By default, the
output PDF file is placed in the same directory as the input file, and it has the
same file name as the input file with the extension changed from afp to pdf. For
example, when the PDF is generated from an AFP file named afpdoc.afp, an
output file named afpdoc.pdf is created.

Note: If AFP is not used as the extension, a pdf extension is still added to the
output PDF file.

-pragma aligntext 0
90
180
270
fdef = form definition

Use aligntext to specify the rotation value to use when transforming the file. Valid
values are 0, 90, 180, or 270 (clockwise). Some AFP files might have already been
formatted with a rotated orientation. If this occurs, text is aligned with the vertical
axis of the paper rather than the horizontal axis. To correct this, you must use this
parameter to align the text as desired.

Note: When you specify aligntext, you must specify the = sign. For example,
aligntext=90.

© Copyright InfoPrint Solutions Company 2005, 2009 7

Use fdef to specify the fully qualified file name of the form definition (FORMDEF)
resource to be used when transforming the AFP file. For example,
-pragma fdef=c:\mydirectory\myformdef.fde

If an inline form definition is associated with the AFP document, then both the
fdef from the configuration file and the command line are ignored. If fdef is not
included in the configuration file or specified on the command line, the F1A10110
default form definition is used.

When you specify -pragma, you can specify aligntext or fdef, but not both.

-C ConfigurationFile

Specifies the path and file name of the configuration file used with the transform.
You can use the default configuration file supplied with the afp2pdf transform, or
you can copy the default configuration file and modify it as appropriate. The
configuration file contains option-value pairs. If you specify multiple -C options on
the command line, the configuration files are processed in the order that you
specify them and the results are additive.

Note: If no -C parameter is specified, the default configuration file is used. The

default afp2pdf configuration file is located in:
For AIX
/usr/lpp/psf/afp2pdf/afp2pdf.cfg
For Windows
install_path\afp2pdf\afp2pdf.cfg

6986
-P
port

Specifies the port number that afp2pdf uses to make a connection with the
Transform Manager (set by the -S flag). If you specify the -P flag, you must also
specify the -S flag. And conversely, if you specify the -S flag, you must also specify
the -P flag.
6986 The default port number if InfoPrint Manager is connected to Transform
Manager.
port The port number you specify if InfoPrint Manager is connected to
Transform Manager

-S ServerName

Specifies the name of the system on which the Transform Manager is running. The
value is:
ServerName
Any valid workstation name on which the Transform Manager is installed

8 InfoPrint Manager: afp2pdf Transform User’s Guide

and running. The name is defined in /etc/hosts file or by a name server,
and can be a nickname like molly, or a dotted decimal address like
9.99.9.23.

Note: If you specify the -P flag, you must also specify the -S flag. And conversely,
if you specify the -S flag, you must also specify the -P flag.

-v

Specifies verbose information will be generated to stderr.

afpfile

Specifies the AFP input file to be transformed. This parameter is required.

The afp2pdf transform configuration file

Parameters to control settings for the afp2pdf transform are specified in a
configuration file. By default, the name of this file is afp2pdf.cfg. For AIX, the file
is located in /usr/lpp/psf/afp2pdf. For Windows, the file is located in
install_path\afp2pdf.

The syntax of the configuration file is exactly the same as the command line syntax
with these additional rules:
1. Blank lines are ignored.
2. The information after a pound sign (#) is considered a comment and is ignored.
The pound sign can occur anywhere on a line.
3. To include a pound sign in parameter data, it must be escaped; that is, it must
be preceded by a backwards slash.
4. White space before and after parameter data is removed.
5. Parameter data on successive lines is concatenated with a single space between
them.
6. Parameters can span lines as long as they follow rules 1 through 5.

Note: Options specified on the command line override options in the configuration
file.

The parameters for the afp2pdf transform options are:

| AFM_PATH=<path>
| This parameter specifies the path location of the Adobe Font Metrics
| (AFM) files that the transform uses. An AFM stores font metric data for a
| Type 1 PostScript font. It contains the master design of a specific font,
| which defines the way each character of the font looks. If a path is not
| specified, the default path is:
| For AIX
| /usr/lpp/psf/afp2pdf/font/AFM
| For Windows
| install_path\afp2pdf\font\AFM
| There is no command line flag associated with the AFM_PATH parameter.

Chapter 3. afp2pdf transform: transforms AFP data to PDF 9

| CNV_PATH=<path>
| This parameter specifies the path location of the CNV files that the ICU
| library uses to convert text from one code page to Unicode and vice versa.
| If a path is not specified, the default path is:
| For AIX
| /usr/lpp/psf/afp2pdf/cnv
| For Windows
| install_path\afp2pdf\cnv
| There is no command line flag associated with the CNV_PATH parameter.
| DEFAULT_CPID=<>intValue
| This parameter specifies a default Code Page Identifier (CPID) to be used
| when transforming AFP or SCS files.
| If a DEFAULT_CPID is not specified when transforming AFP files, a
| default value based on the cpdef file will be used.
| If a DEFAULT_CPID is not specified when transforming SCS files, CPID
| 500 will be used as the default.
| There is no command line flag associated with the DEFAULT_CPID
| parameter.
| DEFAULT_FGID=<>intValue
| This parameter specifies a default Font Global Identifier (FGID) to be used
| when transforming AFP or SCS files.
| If a DEFAULT_FGID is not specified when transforming AFP files, a
| default value based on the csdef file will be used.
| If a DEFAULT_FGID is not specified when transforming SCS files, FGID
| 11 (Courier) will be used as the default.
| There is no command line flag associated with the DEFAULT_FGID
| parameter.
| DISABLE_MEMSREAM=(TRUE|FALSE)
| When this parameter is set to TRUE, it specifies that during the
| transformation, the content of the PDF document will be written in
| temporary files created on disk, no matter the size of the AFP document.
| This parameter is useful if the output PDF document is too large to be kept
| in memory until the transformation is completed. By default, the PDF
| document content is kept in memory for an AFP document smaller than 10
| MB; otherwise, temporary files are used.
| There is no command line flag associated with the
| DISABLE_MEMSTREAM parameter.
| ENABLE_AUTO_FONT_IMAGE=(TRUE|FALSE)
| When this parameter is set to TRUE, it specifies that the output PDF
| document will contain an image for each character that was written with a
| raster font in the AFP document. By default, the raster fonts will be
| replaced with another font, and all characters will be written as text in the
| PDF document. However, some of the characters might look different from
| their raster form.
| There is no command line flag associated with the
| ENABLE_AUTO_FONT_IMAGE parameter.

10 InfoPrint Manager: afp2pdf Transform User’s Guide

FOCA_FONT_PATH=<path>
This parameter specifies the path where the AFP FOCA fonts are installed.
The default path is:
For AIX
/usr/lpp/psf/fontlib
For Windows
install_path\afp2pdf\reslib
There is no command line flag associated with the FOCA_FONT_PATH
parameter.
FONT_PATH=<path>
This parameter specifies the path location of the font files that the
transform uses when writing the PDF document. If a path is not specified,
the default path is:
For AIX
/usr/lpp/psf/afp2pdf/font
For Windows
install_path\afp2pdf\font
| There is no command line flag associated with the FONT_PATH
| parameter.
| MAX_OBJECTS=<number>
| This parameter specifies the maximum objects that can be listed in the PDF
| cross-reference table (XREF). If the AFP file contains more objects than this,
| the additional ones are ignored. This setting is provided for use with the
| MAX_PAGES setting. For example, if MAX_PAGES is set to a number
| greater than 1000, the value assigned to MAX_OBJECTS might need to be
| set to a number greater than 50000.
| By default, MAX_OBJECTS and MAX_PAGES are commented out, which
| does not limit the number of objects or pages.
| There is no command line flag associated with the MAX_OBJECTS
| parameter.
| MAX_PAGES=<number>
| This parameter specifies the maximum pages to be converted. You can use
| this parameter to limit the number of pages generated by the transform.
| For example, if the number of pages in an AFP document is not known
| and you want to limit disk space usage, you might want to set a limit on
| the number of pages generated by the transform. Limiting the number of
| pages can also improve transform performance.
| By default, MAX_PAGES and MAX_OBJECTS are commented out, which
| does not limit the number of pages or objects.
| There is no command line flag associated with the MAX_PAGES
| parameter.
| OVERLAYEXT=<ListOfExtenstions>
| PAGESEGEXT=<ListOfExtenstions>
| FORMDEFEXT=<ListOfExtenstions>
| JFIFext=<ListOfExtenstions>
| GIFEXT=<ListOfExtenstions>
| TIFFEXT=<ListOfExtenstions>
| These parameters specify the accepted extension for a resource type. The
| possible extension are separated by a comma (,). For each extension, a *

Chapter 3. afp2pdf transform: transforms AFP data to PDF 11

| (asterisk) will be replaced with the name of the searched resource.
| Therefore, specifying an * (asterisk) means no extension.
| When searching by name in the RESOURCEDATAPATH, the transform
| first tries the name with no extension. If it does not succeed, it tries with
| every extension from the list until the resource is found.
| By default, the extension list is an * (asterisk).
| There is no command line flag associated with these parameters.
| PDF_FONT_MAP_FILE = <path>
| This parameter specifies the path location of the fontmap.lst file that maps
| the Type 1 Fonts. When specified, it means that the user wants to embed
| Type 1 Fonts into the PDF document. If a path is not specified, the default
| path is:
| For AIX
| /usr/lpp/psf/afp2pdf/font/fontmap.lst
| For Windows
| install_pathafp2pdf\font\fontmap.lst
| There is no command line flag associated with the PDF_FONT_MAP_FILE
| parameter.
| PFMPFB_DIRECTORY=<path>
| This parameter specifies the path location of the Adobe Type 1 outline font
| files that the transform uses when embedding fonts inside of the PDF
| document. When simple font substitution is not acceptable in the PDF
| output, it is possible to embed a custom Type 1 font inside the PDF for
| better results. If a path is not specified, the default path is
| For AIX
| /usr/lpp/psf/afp2pdf/font/type1
| For Windows
| install_path\afp2pdf\font\type1
| install_path/font/type1 or install_path/font/AFM

| Note: Placing Type 1 font files in this directory does not mean that they
| are automatically placed inside of the PDF file. For a font to be embedded,
| it must be mapped using the transform font definition files. See
| “Embedding Type 1 Fonts” on page 16 for more information.
| There is no command line flag associated with the PFMPFB_DIRECTORY
| parameter.
| PRAGMA_FDEF= <filename>
| This parameter specifies the file name of the form definition (FORMDEF)
| resource to be used when transforming the AFP file. If an inline form
| definition is associated with the AFP document, then both the FDEF from
| the configuration file and the command line are ignored. If FDEF is not
| included in the configuration file or specified on the command line, the
| F1A10110 default form definition is used.
| PRAGMA_ALIGNTEXT=<angle>
| This parameter specifies the rotation value to use when transforming the
| file. Valid values are 0, 90, 180, or 270 (clockwise). Some AFP files might
| have already been formatted with a rotated orientation. If this occurs, text

12 InfoPrint Manager: afp2pdf Transform User’s Guide

| is aligned with the vertical axis of the paper rather than the horizontal
| axis. To correct this, you must use this parameter to align the text as
| desired.
VERBOSE
This parameter specifies verbose information will be generated to stderr.
| OUTPUTFILE=<path+filename>
| This parameter specifies the path and filename of the output PDF file. By
| default, the output PDF file is placed in the same directory as the input
| file, and it has the same file name as the input file with the extension
| changed from afp to pdf. For example, when the PDF is generated from an
| AFP file named afpdoc.afp, an output file named afpdoc.pdf is created.

| Note: If AFP is not used as the extension, a pdf extension is still added to
| the output PDF file.
| RESOURCEDATAPATH =<path>
| This parameter specifies the path location of the resource library. For all
| the external resources used by the AFP document (formdef, overlay, page
| segment, jfif, gif, IOCA image), the transform looks for them in this
| specified path. If a path is not specified, the default path is:
| For AIX
| /usr/lpp/psf/afp2pdf/reslib;/usr/lpp/psf/reslib
| For Windows
| install_path\afp2pdf\reslib;install_path\reslib
| There is no command line flag associated with the
| RESOURCEDATAPATH parameter.
| TT_FONT_PATH=<path>
| This parameter specifies the location of the TrueType font or the TrueType
| Collection used. If a path is not specified, the default path is:
| For AIX
| /usr/lpp/psf/afp2pdf/font/truetype
| For Windows
| install_path\afp2pdf\font\truetype

Using the afp2pdf tracing and logging facility

Parameters to control settings for the tracing and logging facility of afp2pdf
transform are specified in a configuration file. By default, the name of the file is
tracer.cfg. The tracing facility can provide a large amount of information about
how the transform performed the operations and also how the code was run.

The new tracing/logging facility uses a hierarchical model with nine levels of
details:
OFF All traces are not logged.
SEVERE
Only severe errors are logged.
WARNING
The severe errors and warnings are logged.
CONFIG
All above and also the configuration information are logged.

Chapter 3. afp2pdf transform: transforms AFP data to PDF 13

INFO All above and general information messages are logged.
FINE All above and fine debugging messages are logged.
FINER
All above and finer debugging messages are logged.
FINEST
All above and finest debugging messages are logged.
ALL All messages are logged.

By default, all traces are off and no messages are logged in the trace file. To start
the tracer/logger, follow these steps:
1. The tracer.cfg file is located in the same directory as the afp2pdf.exe, and it
looks like this:

3. Configure the parameter OUTPUT-TO-FILE to YES. And specify the location
where the trace files should be created by configuring the parameter
TRACE-PATH to /var/afp2pdffor AIX or the install_path\afp2pdf for
Windows.
4. On the next launch of the executable, the application will write the traces to the
path configured in step 3.

Note: You will need to modify the pdcapture command to include the tracer.cfg
and trace*.log files that are located in the var/afp2pdffor AIX or the
install_path\afp2pdf for Windows directory.

Using AFP resources

The afp2pdf transform uses these AFP resources:
v Page segments
v Overlays
v Form definitions

The afp2pdf transform does not process AFP font files. If the program encounters
resources of this type, they are ignored. To display text, the transform uses an
existing set of predefined fonts. Font definition files that map the standard AFP
fonts to Acrobat fonts for PDF are provided. If your AFP document uses AFP fonts
that you have customized or created, you must map these fonts. For information
about mapping AFP fonts, see “Mapping AFP fonts” on page 17.

The page segment, overlay, and form definition resources can be passed to the
transform from these locations:
Inline resource group
The AFP resources needed by the AFP data file are combined into a logical
resource library for the document. This resource group is contained in the
AFP file along with the AFP document.
Resource directories

Chapter 3. afp2pdf transform: transforms AFP data to PDF 15

The afp2pdf transform provides a resource directory for external resources.
On AIX, the directory is /usr/lpp/psf/afp2pdf/reslib, and on Windows, the
directory is install_path\afp2pdf\reslib.
If InfoPrint Manager is installed, the afp2pdf transform also uses the
InfoPrint Manager directory. If InfoPrint Manager for AIX is installed, the
afp2pdf client uses the /usr/lpp/psf/reslib resource directory. If InfoPrint
Manager for Windows is installed, the afp2pdf client uses the
install_path\reslib resource directory.

For external resources, copy the resources:

For AIX:
/usr/lpp/psf/afp2pdf/reslib
For Windows:
install_path\afp2pdf\reslib

Note: The InfoPrint Manager resource directories are not used by the afp2pdf
client when afp2pdf communicates with InfoPrint Transform Manager. These
resource directories are used when afp2pdf runs natively on InfoPrint Manager for
AIX or InfoPrint Manager for Windows.

Embedding Type 1 Fonts

When a custom AFP font is used in an AFP document, it might be necessary to
generate an equivalent Type 1 outline font. You can configure the transform
program to embed this Type 1 outline font in the output PDF file for proper
display.

The Type 1 font must be in binary (PFB/PFM) format. If a font is in ASCII

(AFM/PFA) format, you must convert it before it can be used with the transform.
Type 1 fonts typically consist of a printer font binary (PFB) file and a printer font
metrics (PFM) file. The PFB file contains the mathematical descriptions (in the
PostScript® language) for each character. The PFM file contains the font metrics
needed for the characters.

For example, assume a Type 1 font is made up of the files CustFont.pfb and
CustFont.pfm. The file extensions of pfb and pfm files must be lowercase for the
transform to correctly identify these files. The font file name, CustFont must be the
same for both the pfb and pfm files.

For the transform to use these files, you must specify:

v Where the files are located.
v When the files should be substituted for a specific AFP font.

File location
All Type 1 font files that can be used for embedding fonts into the PDF file must
be placed into a single directory. This directory is then specified with the
PfmPfb_Directory parameter in the transform options file. See The afp2pdf
transform configuration file for more information.

16 InfoPrint Manager: afp2pdf Transform User’s Guide

Mapping the AFP font to the embedded Type 1 font
Usually, the embedded Type 1 font name is specified in the alias.fnt font
mapping configuration file. Under the FONT section, a font name and font metric
file name are specified for the font:
[FONT]
font=font_name,font_metic_name

Where:
FONT Defines the name by which this font is known and is referred to by the
transform’s other font configuration files. For example, Custom1.
font_name
Specifies the name of the font, such as CustFont. This name is
case-sensitive and must match the file name of the PFB/PFM files.
font_metric-name
Specifies the file name for the font metric information. If it is set to NULL, it
indicates that extra font metric information is not used.

In this example, if the AFP font is mapped to Custom1, the Type 1 font, CustFont, is
embedded inside the output PDF file and the appropriate text uses this font for the
display:
[FONT}
Custom1=CustFont,NULL

See “Mapping AFP fonts” for more information about mapping fonts.

Mapping AFP fonts

The afp2pdf transform needs to map the AFP fonts your document was created
with to fonts that can be used in PDF documents. For the afp2pdf transform to
map the best matching fonts to display your AFP document, the transform needs
to know certain characteristics about the fonts that were used to create your
document. Mapping AFP fonts is done with the font definition files installed as
part of the afp2pdf transform. These files are loaded into the FONT subdirectory
under /usr/lpp/psf/afp2pdf for AIX and install_path\afp2pdf on Windows. You
can edit them using any text editor. The shipped version of the font definition files
maps the IBM® Core Interchange (Latin only), compatibility, coordinated, and
Data1 fonts for you. If your document uses an AFP font that is not listed in the
font definition files, you need to add it. If you have generated modified font
definition files for viewing AFP files for the AFP Workbench or for the AFP
plug-in, some of the same files can be reused for the afp2pdf transform. The
| icoded.fnt, coded.fnt, csdef.fnt, cpdef.fnt, and icudt38l_ibm-CPGID_*.cnv files
can be copied and used for the transform. Do not try to reuse the ALIAS.fnt file.

When you need to map fonts

If you are using fonts that are not defined for the afp2pdf transform, if you have
modified the IBM AFP fonts, or if you have created your own AFP fonts, you need
to define those fonts in the font definition files:
v If you created a new coded font or renamed one, you need to define the coded
font in the Coded Font File (icoded.fnt or coded.fnt).
v If you created a new character set, you must define it in the Character Set
Definition File (csdef.fnt).

Chapter 3. afp2pdf transform: transforms AFP data to PDF 17

v If you created a new code page, you must define it in the Code Page Definition
File (cpdef.fnt).
v If you have created a new code page or modified a code page by moving
| characters, you need to create a new Code Page Map File (icudt38l_ibm-
| CPGID_*.cnv).

Note: If you have only modified an existing IBM font component, such as by
deleting code points in the IBM code page, you might not need to do any of the
these definitions.

The afp2pdf transform files supplied for mapping fonts

Table 1 lists the afp2pdf transform font support files and the subdirectories in
which they are installed.
Table 1. afp2pdf font support files
File File Name Subdirectory Description
Coded Font File icoded.fnt coded.fnt FONT Specifies which AFP
code page and AFP

attributes, such as
point size. It also
maps the font
character set to the
font global identifier.
Code Page Definition cpdef.fnt FONT Maps each AFP code

which is the
dimension of each of
the characters.
Note:
1. coded.fnt is optional and is meant to contain coded fonts you have created.
2. Character set is similar to the AFP term code page.

18 InfoPrint Manager: afp2pdf Transform User’s Guide

Coded Font File
The IBM Coded Font File maps AFP coded fonts to their AFP character sets and
AFP code pages. Use these two Coded Font Files with the afp2pdf transform:
icoded.fnt
This file contains definitions for approximately 2500 IBM-supplied coded
fonts.
coded.fnt
You can create this optional file to define a list of any coded fonts you
have created and place it in the FONT subdirectory.

If a coded.fnt file exists in the FONT subdirectory, it is searched first for the coded
fonts used in an AFP file. Here is an example of the contents of the coded.fnt file:
X?A155N2 = C?A155N1, T1DCDCFS
X?AE10 = C?S0Ae10, T1S0AE10
X?GT10 = C?D0GT10, T1D0BASE
X?ST15 = C?D0ST15, T1D0BASE
X?A0770C - C?A07700, T1GI0361
X0T0550C = C0T05500, T1DCDCFS

Rule: A question mark (?) can only be used as the wildcard character for the
second character in the coded font name and the character set name. With this
rule, all the character rotations of the coded fonts can be handled with one entry or
searching.

Note: A sequential search is performed for the coded font, and the first match is
used, including the wildcard character.

After the coded font name, the character set name must be listed first, followed by
the code page name.

The character set and code page must be separated by a comma.

Character Set Definition File

The Character Set Definition File (csdef.fnt) specifies the character set attributes
and font global identifier of the font. It is split into two sections: one for the
character sets (CHARSET) and one for the global identifier (FGID).

CHARSET Section
This example shows an example of the CHARSET section in the csdef.fnt file:
[CHARSET]
;charset = fgid, height, width, strikeover, underline
C?H200A0=2304,110,73,0,0
C?H200D0=2304,140,93,0,0

3. In the FGID section of the file, only familyname and style are required.
4. A question mark (?) can only be used as the wildcard character for the second
character in the character set name. With this rule, all the character rotations of
the coded fonts can be handled with one entry while searching.

Note: A sequential search is performed for the character set, and the first
match is used, including the wildcard character.
5. The CHARSET section must come before the FGIC section in the file.
6. You can set a default character set. The default character set that is defined in
the file must be the last entry in the CHARSET section.
7. If you add your own AFP font character set to the CHARSET section, you must
assign it a font global identifier. If the new character set has the same
familyname, style, weight, and italic attributes as an existing character set, you
can use the same font global identifier; otherwise, you must add a unique font
global identifier to the FGID section.

Code Page Definition File

The Code Page Definition File maps the IBM AFP code page name to its code page
global identifier (CPGID) and to a Web browser character set. The section header
CODEPG is followed by a list of AFP code pages and their attributes. The first
attribute in each line is the AFP code page global identifier that maps to a Code
Page Map File (see “Code Page Map File” on page 22 for more information about
mapping code pages). The second attribute is the Web browser character set that
you decide is the best match for your AFP code page. The last line gives the

2. Only the first attribute, cpgid, is required.
3. You can set a default code page. The default code page that is set in the file
must be the last entry in the file.
4. If you create your own code page, you must assign it a unique code page
identifier. Leading zeros are not valid. (You can use an IBM code page global
identifier, but only if the character-to-hexadecimal code mapping is the same
for your code page.)

Code Page Map File

To add a new code page to the ICU UCONV, you need to obtain or create a source
mapping data file, which has a file extension of .ucm, corresponding to the desired
code page. A large archive of converter data is maintained by the International
Components for Unicode (ICU) Web site. You can compile the source mapping
data files (.ucm files) into binary converter files (.cnv files) by using the ICU tool
makeconv and entering this command:
makeconv -p ICUDATA file.ucm

Where, the file.ucm represents the .ucm source file.

Note: The source code of makeconv can be found on the ICU Web site.

22 InfoPrint Manager: afp2pdf Transform User’s Guide

When the afp2pdf transform is installed, a CNV folder is created under the
afp2pdf transform destination folder. The CNV folder is used as storage for the
binary converter .cnv files. When the corresponding .cnv file is added to the CNV
folder, the code page will be available to the transform.

Alias File
The Alias File (alias.fnt lists the font metric file name and the font family name
aliases in the FONT section. Font family name aliases let you change all of the
requested instances of a font family name (as defined in the Character Set
Definition File) to another font family name.

Figure 3 shows how the alias.fnt file is used with the afp2pdf transform to
change all requests for the Sonoran Serif font to requests for the Times New
Roman font.

Note: Font family name remapping, especially to TrueType fonts, can cause
misalignment of text characters because the display font is not the same as the font
used to create the AFP document. Remapping of one font family name to a
different font family name with very different characteristics (such as STYLE)
might mean a matching font cannot be found. You receive an error message if
either font substitute cannot be found.

[FONT]
; ***** Requested font = Type 1 font, TrueType font *****
Book=TNR,Times New Roman
CourierOverstrike=Cou,Courier New
SonoranSerif=TNR,Times New Roman
SonoranSansSerif=TNR,Arial
Text=Cou,Courier New

Figure 3. Example of how the alias.fnt file is used

Figure 4 shows how the alias.fnt file is used with the afp2pdf transform to
change all requests for the SonoranSerif font to requests for the Times font (which
is one of the base fonts available in the Adobe Acrobat Viewer).

[FONT]
; ***** Requested font = font name,Font metric/AFM filename (or 'NULL' for not used) *****
SonoranSerif=Times, NULL

Figure 4. Using the alias.fnt file with afp2pdf transform

Rules:
1. If multiple mappings are listed in the file for the same family name, only the
first match is used.
2. The Alias File is processed sequentially and is not chained (for example, if
″Century Schoolbook″ is set equal to ″Times″, and ″Times″ is set equal to
″Times New Roman″, ″Century Schoolbook″ is not set to ″Times New Roman″).
3. Blanks in family names are treated as characters (for example, ″New Century
Schlbk″ is not the same font as ″NewCenturySchlbk″).

Mapping your fonts to the afp2pdf transform

After determining which font files you need to modify, use these steps to map
your fonts:

Chapter 3. afp2pdf transform: transforms AFP data to PDF 23

1. Gather the information needed to define the fonts in the font definition files.
2. Make backup copies of any of these font definition files you plan to modify:
csdef.fnt
cpdef.fnt
icoded.fnt
alias.fnt
3. Substitute any non-matching characters in the Code Page Map File. See “Code
Page Map File” on page 22 for information about Code Page Map Files.
4. Edit the cpdef.fnt file and add your code page name, code page identifier, and
the best matching Web browser character set name for the fonts you are using.
5. If you have created a new character set, edit the csdef.fnt file and add your
character set name in the CHARSET section. Specify the correct attributes for
your font in the csdef.fnt. Add the appropriate information in the FIGID
section of the file if you are naming a new font global identifier.
6. If you have created a coded font, create or edit the coded.fnt file and add your
coded font.

| Mapping fonts with non-Latin encodings

| Using TrueType fonts

| The afp2pdf transform supports the use of TrueType fonts.

| Embedding TrueType fonts

| With the afp2pdf PRPQ Version 1.5, you can convert an AFP document that
| contains TrueType fonts.

| The TrueType fonts are embedded into the resulting PDF document.

| By using embedded fonts, the size of the PDF file increases.

| Mapping TrueType fonts

| If the AFP document you are converting to PDF contains TrueType fonts, you can
| create a smaller PDF document by adding the TrueType fonts to the ttdef.fnt file.

24 InfoPrint Manager: afp2pdf Transform User’s Guide

| When you add the TrueType fonts to the ttdef.fnt file, you need to include
| details about the fonts, such as familyname, style, or weight.

| Listing TrueType fonts in the ttdef.fnt file is especially useful when you have
| DBCS TrueType fonts that are over 25 megabytes each. The afp2pdf transform
| allows you to map the DBCS TrueType fonts to Type0 fonts. By adding the DBCS
| TrueType Font to the ttdef.fnt file and setting the familyname to JpnSys1 or
| JpnSys2, the afp2pdf transform maps the DBCS TrueType font to either
| KozGoPro-Medium or KozMinPro-Regular.

| The afp2pdf transform uses this search order for TrueType fonts:
| 1. The ttdef.fnt file is searched for the code page and character set pair.
| 2. The afp2pdf transform searches the TrueType font in the specified
| TT_FONT_PATH.
| 3. If the client is unable to locate the TrueType font, a message is be issued, the
| afp2pdf transform uses the default font listed with the DEFAULT = option in the
| ttdef.fnt file.

| Using the configuration file for TrueType fonts

| The afp2pdf transform uses a configuration file called ttdef.fnt to support
| TrueType fonts.

| The ttdef.fnt file is similar to the csdef.fnt file. You use the ttdef.fnt file to
| map each TrueType font to a known Type 1 or Type 0 font.

| The syntax of the ttdef.fnt file uses the same rules that are defined by the
| csdef.fnt, where comments are defined as ‘;’. The Full Font Name is extracted
| from the x’02’ triplet (FQNType is x’DE’) of the Map Data Resource (MDR). The
| Full Font Name is used to search the ttdef.fnt and the resource name when
| issuing the open_input handler command.

| The ttdef.fnt file is located in these directories:

Chapter 3. afp2pdf transform: transforms AFP data to PDF 25

| Outline fonts can be embedded as internal resources, or they can be referenced as
| external resources and mapped. In either case, the font may be defined through the
| coded font name or with a character set/code page pair.

| The afp2pdf transform parses and extracts the outline font character set
| information it needs when outputting the text and saves the information in these
| files:
| PFM file
| Contains general information about the outline font obtained from the
| character set. This file can be external, saved on the hard drive, or kept in
| memory.
| PFB file
| Contains the data about the outline font. It must be extracted and kept on
| the hard drive or in memory.

| For both cases (embedded or external Outline font) the PFM and PFB files are
| embedded within the PDF document, and the text is written in the PDF file using
| the embedded PFM and PFB information.

| The afp2pdf transformer creates a temporary cnv file to be used by ICU for the
| conversion of text from Unicode to the specified codepage and for the conversion
| of text from the code page to Unicode.

| Using non-Latin code pages with Outline fonts

| The afp2pdf transform supports non-Latin codepages for AFP Outline fonts.

| These non-Latin code pages are supported:

| 259
| 290
| 420

| When an AFP document contains text written in one of the supported non-Latin
| code pages, the afp2pdf transform uses a corresponding AFP Outline Font. Each
| code page has a corresponding AFP Outline font. The location of the AFP Outline
| fonts is specified in the configuration file using the Foca_Font_Path option. To
| display the text written with the non-Latin code-pages within the PDF, the afp2pdf
| transform extracts the PFB file from the AFP Outline Fonts and creates a PFM file.
| The resulting files are embedded within the PDF stream. When a non-Latin code
| page does not find the corresponding AFP Outline Font, the afp2pdf transform
| converts the text to a default code-page. This default code page is set in the
| cpdef.fnt file. The default code page is one of the base-14 Standard PDF fonts.

| To accommodate the non-Latin code pages, these options have been added the
| afp2pdf.cfg file. The configuration file (“afp2pdf.cfg”) has these new options:
| For AIX
| Foca_Font_Path = /usr/lpp/psf/fontlib specifies the path for the AFP
| Outline fonts.
| For Windows
| Foca_Font_Path = \install_path\fontlib specified the path for the AFP
| Outline fonts.

| Note: If the configuration file does not contain the Foca_Font_Path entry, the
| afp2pdf transform searches within /usr/lpp/psf/fontlib for AIX and
| \install_path\fontlib for Windows.

| Mapping outline fonts

| If the AFP document you are converting to PDF contains Outline fonts, you can
| create a smaller PDF document by adding the Outline fonts to the afp2pdf.cfg file.

| You use the Foca_Font_Path option in the afp2pdf.cfg file to specify the path and
| name of the coded font. The name can be an actual coded font name or a character
| set/code page pair that identifies the font.

| The afp2pdf transform uses this search order for Outline fonts:
| 1. The font directory specified with the Foca_Font_Path value in the afp2pdf.cfg
| is searched.
| 2. When an Outline font is not found in the Foca_Font_Path value in the
| afp2pdf.cfg, the afp2pdf transform uses a default font. The default font is a
| Type1 font, one of the PDF Base 14 Fonts, or one of the virtual DBCS (Type0_
| fonts. You specify the default font in the csdef.fnt file.

| Using raster fonts

| The afp2pdf transform supports the use of raster fonts. Raster fonts contain a set
| of bitmaps that represent the character shapes for a certain font.

| When you use raster fonts to create a PDF file, the afp2pdf transform uses the
| information received from the FOCA structure fields (character glyphs and widths)
| to create an Adobe PDF Type3 font. This Adobe PDF Type3 font contains an
| Encoding dictionary. The text written with this Type3 font is searchable.

Chapter 3. afp2pdf transform: transforms AFP data to PDF 27

| Raster fonts can be embedded as internal resources, or they can be referenced as
| external resources and mapped. In either case, the font may be defined through the
| coded font name or with a character set/code page pair.

| The afp2pdf transform parses and extracts the raster font character set information
| it needs when outputting the text and saves the information in these files:
| PFM file
| Contains general information about the raster font obtained from the
| character set. This file can be external, saved on the hard drive, or kept in
| memory.
| PFB file
| Contains the data about the raster font. It must be extracted and kept on
| the hard drive or in memory.

| For both cases (embedded or external raster fonts), the PFM and PFB files are
| embedded within the PDF document, and the text is written in the PDF file using
| the embedded PFM and PFB information.

| Embedding raster fonts

| All raster fonts are transformed to AdobeType3 fonts and embedded within the
| PDF document.

| Using Type3 fonts for raster fonts reduces the size of the PDF file and makes the
| PDF searchable.

| Mapping raster fonts

| If the AFP document you are converting to PDF contains raster fonts, you can
| create a smaller PDF document by accessing the raster fonts outside of the AFP
| document.

| The afp2pdf transform uses this search order for raster fonts:
| 1. The icoded.fnt file is searched for the code page and character set pair.
| 2. The font directory specified with the Foca_Font_Path value in the afp2pdf.cfg
| is searched.
| 3. When a raster font is not found in the icoded.fnt file or the Foca_Font_Path
| value in the afp2pdf.cfg, the afp2pdf transform uses a default font. The
| default font is a Type1 font, one of the PDF Base 14 Fonts, or one of the virtual
| DBCS (Type0_ fonts. You specify the default font in the csdef.fnt file.

Examples
1. Use the -o flag to specify the output file name:
afp2pdf -o sample.pdf example.afp

In this example, the -o flag indicates that the output will be generated in the
current directory using the output file name sample.pdf.
2. To specify a custom form definition, use the -pragma fdef flag:
afp2pdf -pragma fdef="C:\myfdef\reslib\myformdef.fde" -o sample.pdf example.afp

28 InfoPrint Manager: afp2pdf Transform User’s Guide

In this example, the-pragma fdef flag is assigned the full path to a form
definition file named myformdef.fde, which will be used to process the
example.afp input file.
3. To specify the rotation value used to control text alignment with page
orientation, use the -pragma aligntext flag:
afp2pdf -pragma aligntext=180 example.afp

This example aligns the text with a paper orientation that is rotated 180 degrees
in an example.pdf output file.
4. Use the -C flag to specify the path and name of a configuration file:
afp2pdf -C mycustom.cfg -o sample.pdf example.afp

The mycustom.cfg configuration file used to transform the example.afp input

file to the sample.pdf output file.
