MakeAFP Tuner

Reducing AFP File Size Instantly MakeAFP Tuner is an incredible high performance AFP data stream optimizer, with which you can instantly optimize your AFP data stream and reduce your AFP file size in a high ratio.

MakeAFP Tuner provides the following advanced features and functions helping you to optimize and reengineering your AFP data stream:

• Reduces AFP document file size up to 65%, helping you and your enterprise customers saving storage space, increasing AFP archiving, retrieving, displaying and printing performance tremendously.

• With reduced size AFP, you can get smaller PDF size with better transforming speed with AFP2PDF.

• Replaces the legacy AFP bitmap fonts with AFP FOCA outline fonts or new generation TrueType/OpenType fonts for a much better presentation quality, and avoid the font mapping issues with your legacy AFP fonts. The latest AFP systems support using TrueType/OpenType fonts as the data-object resources in AFP that is a recommended strategic direction in AFP for the cross platforms presentation.

• Replaces legacy AFP page segments with JPEG/TIFF/GIF color images. The latest AFP systems support using monochromes and color JPEG/TIFF/GIF images as the data-object resources, using open image formats of JPEG/TIFF/GIF are recommended for AFP color presentation with color management.

• Replaces legacy shading patterns or shading images with vector color or gray background graphics, with which you can achieve much better presentation quality and performance, as well as AFP2PDF transform speed.

• Able control the type of inline resources embedding and remove unused inline resources, so you and your customers can get a better AFP archiving, retrieving, displaying and AFP2PDF transforming performance. Able include new resources defined.

• Able extract AFP resources of form definition, overlays, page segment, FOCA bitmap/outline fonts, TrueType/OpenType fonts and data-object resources of GIF/TIFF/JPEG/EPS/PDF from AFP file, for some purposes during developing and testing.

• Accepts the fully composed AFP files embedded with inline resources, and does able read compressed AFP files in ZIP compression, or encrypted by standard ZIP encryption, WinZip 9.0 or PKZIP 8.0 compatible 128-bit, 192-bit and 256-bit AES strong encryption.

• Able export AFP output data stream to the Standard Output (STDOUT), that can be piped to another program as its Standard Input (STDIN), for instance, exports AFP output data stream on the fly directly to MakeAFP Indexer, PDPR print submit command of InfoPrint Manager, etc.

• Integrated with MakeAFP Indexer seamlessly, accepts both TLE-tagged or non-TLE-tagged AFP, does able generate AFP index, resource and document files, that can be archived into IBM Content Manager OnDemand directly in high performance, and also able compress and encrypt AFP index, resource and document files in ZIP format on the fly in high performance and with compression ratio up to 96%.

• In addition, with MakeAFP Tuner you can process the multiple AFP input files specified by a wildcard filename or the multiple AFP input files zipped in ZIP files; you can merge multiple same group of AFP files into one AFP output file.
