Create AFP resources

There are several different ways to create the Advanced Function Presentation™ (AFP™) resources that you need.

Create page segments and overlays

There are several tools available for you to use to create page segments and overlays:

• The IBM® Infoprint® Designer for iSeries™ licensed program lets you design and create page segments and overlays and upload them to the iSeries.
• The IBM Infoprint Server for iSeries licensed program lets you create page segments and overlays from Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG), Graphics Interchange Format (GIF), and Tagged Image File Format (TIFF) images.
• The AFP Manager component of iSeries Navigator lets you build a file on your system as an iSeries page segment or overlay. This file must already be in AFP resource format. This tool is useful for migrating AFP resources from other systems to the iSeries.
• The AFP printer driver creates AFP documents, overlays, and page segments from your Windows® 2000/XP applications.

Create page definitions and form definitions

Page definitions and form definitions are created automatically with Infoprint Designer when you create an overlay.
