Output MO:DCA-P Data Stream
Regardless of the input data stream, ACIF always produces output files in the
MO:DCA-P format. Each structured field in the file is a single record preceded by a
X
'
5A
'
carriage control character. The following sections describe the required
changes ACIF must make to support MO:DCA-P output format.
Composed Text Control (CTC) Structured Field
Because this structured field has been declared obsolete, ACIF ignores it and does
not pass it to the output file.
Map Coded Font (MCF) Format 1 Structured Field
ACIF converts this structured field to an MCF Format 2 structured field. Unless
MCF2REF=CF is specified, ACIF resolves the coded font into the appropriate font
character set and code page pairs.
Map Coded Font (MCF) Format 2 Structured Field
ACIF does not modify this structured field, and it does not map any referenced
GRID values to the appropriate font character set and code page pairs. This may
affect document integrity in the case of archival, because no explicit resource
names are referenced for ACIF to retrieve.
Presentation Text Data Descriptor (PTD) Format 1 Structured Field
ACIF converts this structured field to a PTD Format 2 structured field.
Inline Resources
MO:DCA-P does not support inline resources at the beginning of a print file (before
the BDT structured field); therefore, inline resources must be removed. The
resources will be saved and used as requested.
Page Definitions
Because page definitions are used only to compose line-mode data into pages, this
resource is not included in the resource file. The page definition is not included
because it is no longer needed to view or print the document file.
