AFP Workbench for Windows:  The Viewer Application

Overview

The Advanced Function Presentation (AFP) Workbench for Windows is a platform for the integration of AFP-enabling applications and services.  The Viewer is a part of the Workbench that runs under WIN-OS/2 or Microsoft Windows that provides the ability to do the following:

Browsing of the following types of files residing on your workstation or network:

AFP documents, such as those generated by IBM's Document Composition Facility (DCF) and BookMaster for AFP device types

AFP documents created by AFP Conversion and Indexing Facility (ACIF), which processes S/370 line data using a page definition (PAGEDEF)

AFP overlays and page segments, such as those created by IBM's Overlay Generation Language (OGL) and Print Management Facility (PMF)

Output from workstation applications that is converted to an AFP document using the Pennant AFP Printer Driver for Windows (supplied with Workbench)

ASCII data (ignoring graphics controls)

Tag Image File Format (TIFF)

Bitmaps

Device Independent Bitmaps (DIB)

Picture Exchange files (PCX)

Distributed Control Extension files (DCX)

Copying one or more selected pages or selected parts of pages from a document creating another AFP document

Converting a viewed page to a full-page AFP overlay or page segment

Printing one or more selected pages or selected parts of pages as follows:

Pages from an AFP file on a Print Services Facility/2 or PSF/6000 attached printer (LPT1, LPT2, LPT3)

Pages from any type of file on any Windows-attached printer

Displaying page segments and overlays referenced by an AFP file where those resources are either contained in the file or located in the resource directories defined on the More Preferences dialog box

Specifying which form definition (FORMDEF) is to be used to view the file

Specifying which modified copy within a copy group is to be viewed

Selecting an area of a displayed page.  The functions available on the selected area are:

Scale the selected area to fill the current Viewer window size

Print only the selected area

Position the selected area anywhere within the Viewer window

Copy the selected area to the system clipboard as either text or image

Convert the selected area to an overlay or page segment

Create a note in a selected area

Viewing files, using one of several options:

Page rotation as set by the file, 90 degree clockwise, 90 degree counterclockwise, 180 degree clockwise, 2 Up, and 4 Up

Zoomed up or down

Using a specific paper size

Navigating through the displayed file using sheet numbers, page identifiers, group-level indexing tags, page-level indexing tags, and text-string searches.

Adding notes to files to be shared and viewed.

Moving a composed page anywhere within the Viewer window.

Restrictions

The Viewer application does not support the following functions:

Viewing of the following types of data:

S/370 line data plus page definition (PAGEDEF)

GOCA

BCOCA

Double-byte data

Multiple copies of identical pages

Files containing more than 10000 pages

Viewing the results of the following form definition specifications:

Constant back

Presentation and direction combinations other than Portrait Across

Note:	Because Adobe Type Manager (ATM) is used to display text and the Viewer is mapping AFP fonts to ATM fonts, fidelity between the viewed data and the printed data may not be absolute.


Mouse Buttons
Mouse Button Actions

Mouse Button 1

Selecting an area

Press mouse button 1 down and drag the mouse pointer to the right and down to select an area.  Release the mouse button when you have drawn a box surrounding all of the data that you want to include in the selected area.

Scaling the Selected area

After an area has been selected, move the mouse pointer inside the selected area and double click mouse button 1.  The selected area is scaled to fit the Viewer window.

Resetting the view

After an area has been selected or scaled, move the mouse pointer outside the selected area and double click mouse button 1.  The view of the page will be reset to the previous view.  If your view before selecting the area contained a different selected area, that selected area will be restored.

Using links

Additional information may be available in the document you are viewing by way of three types of links.  Two of these links are hypertext links that take you to either another page within the document you are viewing or another document.  The third type of link might start another program on your workstation.

If the hypertext information is within the document you are viewing, you are taken to that page in the document.  If the hypertext information is in another document, that document appears in a new window. Place the mouse pointer on the link and double click mouse button 1.

Getting to more help information

Additional help information is available for words, phrases, and actions.  Place the mouse pointer on underlined text or on icons that have a square around them and click mouse button 1.  The help information appears in either a pop-up window (for text with a dashed underline) or a window (for text with a solid underline).  Click mouse button 1 outside the pop-up window and the information disappears.  Click mouse button 1 on the Back help pushbutton and you return to the previous help window.

Mouse Button 2

Creating and Viewing Notes

Double click mouse button 2 to create a note at the point in the file where the mouse pointer is located.

Double click mouse button 2 on the note marker [image] of an existing note to view the note text
