About this training

Summary

This document specifies Advanced Function Presentation (AFP) interchange as a container for
document objects by defining the AFP file format Mixed Object Document Content Architecture (MO:
DCA)1)
. It includes a means of identifying support for specifically including single and multi-page
Portable Document Format (PDF) document objects as a container function set. It also includes a
mechanism for pairing and managing resources associated with PDF.
NOTE For an example of how PDF external file references map into AFP secondary resources, see Annex A.
The use of AFP is applicable to AFP and PDF workflows where the final production is managed within
an Intelligent Printer Data Stream (IPDS) environment.
