Concatenating the Resource Group to the Document
You can create a print file containing all the required print resources by
concatenating the output document file to the end of the resource file. Do, however,
remember two things when doing this:
First, although Workbench Viewer and the other PSF products support all types
of inline resources, PSF/VSE supports only inline page definitions and form
definitions.
Second, the offset information in the index object file applies to the document;
that is, to the Begin Document (BDT) structured field. The offset information
also applies to the file I/O level, because a single document is in the output
document file. When you concatenate these two files, the offset information in
the index object file no longer applies to the resultant file; that is, you cannot
use this information to randomly access a given page or page group without
first determining the location of the BDT structured field. This is not a problem
for Workbench Viewer, because it removes any inline objects before using the
offset information.
Specifying the IMAGEOUT Parameter
ACIF converts IM1 format images in the input file, in overlays, and in page
segments to uncompressed IOCA format, if IMAGEOUT=IOCA (the default) is
specified. An uncompressed IOCA image may use a significantly higher number of
bytes than an IM1 image and may take more processing time to convert, especially
for shaded or patterned areas. Although IOCA is the MO:DCA-P standard for
image data, and some data stream receivers may require it, all products may not
accept IOCA data. All software products from the IBM Printing Systems Company
do, however, accept IOCA data as well as IM1 image data.
IBM recommends that you specify IMAGEOUT=ASIS, unless you have a specific
requirement for IOCA images.
