OutputAFP

Use this workflow to call the Advanced Transform feature to convert the files from any data stream to AFP.

This workflow includes steps based on the DetectInputDatastream and TransformWithAdvancedFeature step templates:

  • DetectInputDatastream determines the value of the Input data stream property for the job.
  • TransformWithAdvancedFeature uses the Transform input stream property to determine what input transform to use.

    To use the value of the Input data stream property as the transform input stream, set the Transform input stream property to Use current.

In this workflow, the value of the Transform input stream property in the step is set to Use current. As a result, this workflow accepts any input data stream and converts it to the data stream indicated in the Transform output stream property. In this case, that value is AFP.

The TransformWithAdvancedFeature step template can be configured to accept various input data streams and create various output data streams, depending on the advanced transforms that you have installed. If you want to convert job to a different data stream, you can copy the workflow and change the value of the Output data stream property. For example, if you want to accept any input data stream and convert it to PostScript, you could name the copied workflow OutputPS and change the value of the Transform output stream property to PS.
