Commands

The AFP Visual Environment commands use the information in the control file to make the same enhancements to a production AFP file that the administrator made to the sample AFP file. The commands create new AFP files with the enhancements; they do not update the production AFP files.

The AFP Visual Environment commands are:

  • EditAFP: This command applies the definitions in the control file to hide areas, create bar codes, and mask text in a production AFP file. It is available only if AFP Editor is installed.
  • IndexAFP: This command applies the definitions in the control file to create page groups and index tags in a production AFP file. It is available only if AFP Indexer is installed. The IndexAFP command can also create a document index file and a resource group file.
  • PluginMgr: This command can run EditAFP, IndexAFP, or both. It can apply all the definitions in the control file to a production AFP file. If you want to apply all the definitions in a control file to production AFP files, it is more efficient to use PluginMgr than to run the EditAFP and IndexAFP commands separately.
