JPEG and TLE Support Added to AFPDS Modules of the Solimar® Print/Director
Version 5.16 Provides Additional Functionality to AFP Workflows
SPD SAN DIEGO, CA - October 6, 2005 - Solimar Systems, Inc., a leading global provider of production output management and secure document delivery solutions, today announced support for transforming JPEG images within AFPDS files when converting the data streams into the highly popular PDF and PostScript data stream formats. The new version also supports Tag Logical Element (TLE) index records to enable automatic AFPDS workflow processing. The enhanced functionality of the Solimar Print/Director v5.16 provides organizations with increased flexibility and output options for distributing document applications that contain graphically rich JPEG components and require additional post-composition finishing and processing.

In addition, Print/Director v5.16 modules that output PDF can now preserve media and plex information in PDF annotations - PDF "comments" or "notes" - to further enhance PDF workflows. Print/Director modules that convert PDF will translate these finishing instructions to the format required by the target device. Mary Ann Rowan, Vice President of Sales and Marketing explains, "Our clients' increasing use of PDF and AFPDS workflows have exposed additional market requirements, and we have enhanced Print/Director to help them move forward confidently in that direction." End users who need inserting of data-driven OMR marks and/or sequence numbers into print streams without reprogramming the application can benefit from the SMART Processor™ Module.

AFPDS conversion modules in Print/Director also includes 2D barcode support including PDF417, DataMatrix and Maxicode. Additional supported functionality of Print/Director and the SMART Processor includes:

  • Data-driven printer tray selection
  • Conditional content extraction
  • Conditional overlay insertion
  • Conditional document splitting
