Crawford Technologies provides a smooth migration path and a cost effective solution that allow organizations to combine their standard PostScript and PDF applications with AFP print architecture. PRO PS to AFP product converts print streams and resources from PostScript to AFP and from PDF to AFP formats. Often, in today's print service market, providers need to move applications from PostScript platforms to IPDS printers. PRO PS to AFP product integrates seamlessly with IBM's InfoPrint Manager and Content Manager OnDemand products. Converting PostScript to AFP eliminates the need to support both PostScript and AFP printer hardware and software.
PRO PS to AFP performs an object-to-object PostScript to AFP and PDF to AFP transformation creating an optimized compatible AFP file.
With PRO PS to AFP, users can achieve superior image fidelity. Fonts, images, logos and forms appear exactly the same on AFP printers as they do on PostScript printers. The key to the power and flexibility of PRO PS to AFP is the way it manages PostScript print resources by automatically converting them into AFP resources, thereby simplifying the implementation process.PRO PS to AFP contains support for an extensive array of PostScript print resources including PostScript fonts, images and converted PostScripts fonts, which can be embedded into the AFP file or put into a separate file. This design enables Windows and Unix applications to optimize the AFP data. Index entries (TLE records) can be automatically inserted into AFP files as they are created, thus making it possible to use the output files with archival systems such as Content Manager OnDemand and ImagePlus.
The PRO PS to AFP product can be extended with the following options:
PRO Indexer
