AFP Editor

AFP Editor lets you create barcodes, text, and hidden areas in documents.

Barcodes and text are used for a variety of purposes, such as routing and tracking mail and adding page numbers to documents. If you hide areas in documents, no one using an AFP viewer sees the data in the area, and the data does not print.AFP Editor also lets you mask sensitive text that you do not want anyone to view or print.

In this section:

  1. Barcodes
    A barcode is a pattern of elements (such as bars, spaces, and two-dimensional modules) that represent numeric or alphanumeric information in a machine-readable form.
  2. Hidden areas
    A hidden area is an area in each page group that no one using an AFP viewer can see and that does not print.
  3. Text masks
    A text mask replaces text in an AFP file with another character, for example the x character. Text masks are useful if you do not want anyone to view or print sensitive information, such as customer names and social security numbers.
