Image Resources

Image resources are a key component in creating advanced electronic print and presentation applications. In some cases, such as with accent images, the purpose is to improve the look and effectiveness of output. Images like logos and signatures are essential parts of a document. In other image applications, such as an integrated check image on bank statements, the image is an actual part of the application data.

Figure 19 shows the image, combined with data from the overlay, that is used for the Super Sun Seeds logo.

How APU Works with Image Resources

Images are called page segments in AFP. APU can place page segments anywhere in a document. It can place multiple page segments on the same page, and it can vary the page segments by page format or copy.

Select Define Page Segments on the Define a Copy panel, then select 1 (Create) on the Define Page Segments panel, press Enter and then press F4 on the Create a Page Segment Positioning panel. The Select a Page Segment panel appears. This panel is used to select page segments with APU.
