Figure 1. How ACIF Fits into Advanced Function Presentation
The figure shows the resources and the text data, which can be provided and used
by various AFP and AFP-compatible products. With ACIF, data and resources can
feed into ACIF for processing and can be sent to a customer-supplied archival and
retrieval system, to the spool, or to the Viewer application of AFP Workbench for
viewing.
ACIF accepts data from your application in the following formats:
AFP data
MO:DCA-P data
S/370 line-mode data
Mixed-mode data
Unformatted ASCII data (AIX only)
Put simply, ACIF can process application print data and AFP resources to produce
three types of files:
1. An AFP document file
2. An AFP resource file
3. An AFP index object file
