Product Description

The OverView AFPDS Compiler is a workstation OGL and PPFA compiler option, integrated into the OverView AFP Designer. It enables the application developer to create ready-to-go AFPDS, overlay, page definition and form definition printer objects on the PC without any host products. The AFPDS Compiler generates the AFPDS object files for printing from the internal structure of loaded forms and data-placement information with absolute accuracy.

Benefits:

  • Compiler for overlays, page definitions and form definitions
  • Generate optimized 240/300/600 dpi overlays
  • Include page segments and fonts into overlay files
  • Maintain print applications on the Windows workstation
  • Reduce host file-transfer activity and CPU cycles
  • Save print development time and effort
  • Company License pricing available
  • No host (JCL) skills required for print testing of applications
  • AFP test-printing on local workstations using Papyrus Server
