AFP2PDF Feature (LCD2-20042) The afp2pdf transform converts Mixed Object Document Content Architecture (MO:DCA-P) documents, also called AFP documents, to Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) documents to be viewed, archived, e-mailed, or printed.
Pull Print Feature (LCD2-20001) The InfoPrint Manager Pull Print feature works with your existing InfoPrint Manager server and an external Streamline NX or Equitrac server. This feature schedules the job to print when you, as the authenticated owner, request them from the printer. You can use this to reduce unwanted print-out and therefore save money. You can further save paper by turning off header sheets. By not printing the job until the owner requests it from the printer console, this feature provides a secure printing environment.

The SAP Print Feature contains the sap2afp transform for converting both Advanced Business Application Programming (ABAP) data and Output Text Format (OTF) data to AFP for printing, the SAP OMS (Output Management Support) support for obtaining enhanced status regarding print jobs.
