Line
Printer Generation
APWI’s HostServe provides the capability to convert
standard inputs to Line Printer Data. Line Printer Generation
is required when the information from a binary document
is needed for further processing. Some repurposing
and content
management systems require line printer data input.
HostServe
can take in any binary document (PCL,
PostScript,
PDF,
AFP,
DJDE,
and XES)
and convert it to standard line printer data. To do this
it uses the positional commands used to place the data to
determine the line on which that particular piece of text
should be placed.
The
two primary reasons for doing this are:
- Some
content management systems require line printer data for
their database engines.
- If
you wish to repurpose the documents using different fonts
or forms most repurposing engines such as the HostServe
Builder module require that the data be in a text format
so that it can easily locate and reposition the data.
Keep
in mind, due to the fact that this is line printer output,
it will not contain any graphical data.
