Enhance AFP control file

Steps based on the BuildAFPFromDocuments and CreateAFPJobsFromDocuments step templates use an Enhance AFP control file to change the content of AFP files. Work with your support representative to create control files that contain rules for the changes.

Documentation and examples for using Enhance AFP are located on the product CD in the /samples directory. After installation, you can find them in the directory /path/extensions/doc/samples/. On Linux, the path is /opt/infoprint/ippd. On Windows, the path is C:\Program Files\Ricoh\ProcessDirector.

These are examples of the changes you can make using Enhance AFP:

  • Insert new barcodes or text.
  • Remove obsolete content, such as barcodes, text, or OMR marks.
  • Find variable text or barcode content to use as a basis for generating new content.
  • Insert, find, or remove index tags (TLEs).

Messages and some of the instructions related to Enhance AFP refer to the function as adf_extract.

If you make enhancements using the AFP Enhancer plugin, they are saved in the Visual Workbench control file.

Visit the RICOH Software Information Center (https://help.ricohsoftware.com/swinfocenter/) for the most recent version of the documentation.
