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
