Elixir Desktop and Converters for AFP

The Elixir Desktop and Converters for AFP provide an integrated set of tools for conversion and file management activities:

•The Elixir Converters for AFP program makes it easy for you to load your existing AFP resources into Elixir’s WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editing tools. Elixir then converts the resources to the appropriate Elixir generic interchange file formats while still preserving the unique AFP attributes. From there, you can convert the resource to any number of formats, depending on your needs. You can also add color to the resources.

•The Elixir Desktop for AFP is an integrated, icon-based, operating environment for customers who use Elixir’s AFP software. It features point and click operation of any Elixir application, linking DOS applications to icons to simplify the loading process. You can also access the Elixir AFP conversion software and utilities through the Converter icon.

Each of the following applications works in conjunction with this product to create a total document creation solution.

ElixirFont for AFP

ElixirFont for AFP is a WYSIWYG tool used to create and edit fonts. It works in conjunction with the Elixir Desktop and Converters for AFP to give you full control over AFP font components, such as coded fonts, character sets, and code pages. Using this product, you can perform precise pel editing, resize fonts, and control all font metrics of character sets and code pages.

ElixirForm for AFP

ElixirForm for AFP is a WYSIWYG tool used to create and revise monochrome or full color forms for printing on DocuPrint IPS and other printers. It allows you to personalize your existing AFP by adding color to any element of the form. You can also import AFP- format fonts and images to include in the form.

ElixirImage for AFP

ElixirImage for AFP is a WYSIWYG tool that gives you the power to create and maintain images on your personal computer. After you import page segment, IOCA, TIFF, or PCX images into the Elixir Desktop and Converters for AFP and convert them to the Elixir interchange format, you can use ElixirImage for AFP to edit all or part of the image. This product also includes drawing tools specific to the AFP environment to help with your editing.

Elixir AppBuilder for AFP

Once you’ve created or modified your resources, you can combine them into a document using the Elixir AppBuilder for AFP. This program allows you to create and edit AFP PageDefs and FormDefs on-screen instead of through a character-based editing tool. Using this program, you can set up complex field and record processing jobs by dragging fields and records into position on forms. You can import most existing PPFA-formatted PageDefs and FormDefs for editing. When the document is finished, you can output it to PPFA source or compiled PPFA format.
