La commande MAP XPS/en

<languages/>
==Introduction==

the MAP_XPS command is one of the main commands of OPALE Server. It allows you to process files for multiple final purposes.

The usal processing involves a file to map which is first generated in XPS format  using the MAPCPYSPLF command, the MAP_XPS command is then used to edit this XPS file.

[[File:Xps-intro.PNG|200px|center|sans_cadre]]   


To use the MAP_XPS command, run a <code> CALL PGM(MAP_XPS) PARM ('-infile:/home/map2019/file.PDF' '-outfile:/home/map2019/file.xps' '-toXPS' '-fromPDF') </code>

The MAPXPS command (without underscore) also exists. This one does not have as many applications and is mainly useful to convert files.

==Converting files==
=== Converting input files ===

Converting existing files to XPS is done to prepare them for future processing in the Mapping software. 

The supported input languages are: AFP, ESCP, IGP, Image (BMP, JPG, PCX, PNG et TIFF), PCL, PDF, PS, SCS, TXT, Xerox, XPS, ZEBRA (ou ZPL), TEC


Examples:
 map_xps -infile:/home/map2019/email.pcl -fromPCL -outfile:/home/map2019/email.xps -toXPS 
 map_xps -infile:/home/map2019/email.pdf -fromPDF -outfile:/home/map2019/email.xps -toXPS 
 map_xps -infile:/home/map2019/email.afp -fromAFP -outfile:/home/map2019/email.xps -toXPS 
 map_xps -infile:/home/map2019/email.igp -fromIGP -outfile:/home/map2019/email.xps -toXPS 
 map_xps -infile:/home/map2019/email.zpl -fromZPL -outfile:/home/map2019/email.xps -toXPS 
 map_xps -infile:/home/map2019/email.ps -fromPS -outfile:/home/map2019/email.xps -toXPS  
 map_xps -infile:/home/map2019/image.jpg -fromImage -outfile:/home/map2019/image.xps -toXPS -profile:fromJPEG

Such conversions can also be refined using a profile defined in the configuration file.

[[File:Mapxps entree.PNG|600px|center|sans_cadre]]

=== Converting XPS files to an output format ===

The aim is to convert XPS files (whether generated by Mapping or not) depending on their final purpose (printing, e-mail, archiving...) and communication channel. 

The supported output formats are: AFP, BMP, DOCX, DPL, EPL, ESC, ESCP, HTML, IGP, JPG, Monarch, PCL, PDF, PNG, ProPrinter, PS, RTF, TEC, TIF, TXT, XMLDRAW, XPS, ZEBRA / ZPL.

Examples:
 map_xps -infile:/home/map2019/email.xps -toPCL -outfile:/home/map2019/email.pcl 
 map_xps -infile:/home/map2019/email.xps -toPDF -outfile:/home/map2019/email.pdf

[[File:MAP_XPS.PNG|600px|center|sans_cadre]]   


Such conversions can also be refined using a profile defined in the configuration file. 

Example :
 map_xps -infile:/home/map2019/email.xps -outfile:/home/map2019/email.pdf –convert –config:MYPDF

[[File:Mapxps-profil.PNG|600px|center|sans_cadre]]   

Using parameters:
 <code>-config:XXXX</code> or <code>-profile:XXXX</code>	=> to select the profile
 <code>-convert</code>	=> converts the file using the selected profil

And a MYPDF profile defined in the configuration file:
 <MYPDF>
 <label>for Adobe Reader</label>
 <language>PDF</language>
 <embeddedfont>OFF</embeddedfont>
 <color>ON</color>
 </MYPDF>

To call a conversion profile as a command line, the language needs to be set to <code>*AUTO</code> on IBM i, and should not be "forced" on Unix or Windows (for instance, do not use arguments <code>-profile:XXX</code> and <code>-toPCL</code> simultaneously).


Note: 

On IBM i, the XPSConfig.conf file is located in the home/mapping folder.

=== Specific parameters used for an AFPDS output ===

In addition to converting the file from XPS to AFPDS, you can force the resolution of fonts and images:
 -fontRes:300: fonts resolution
 -imageRes:300: images resolution 

Supported values: 240, 300 or 600 dpi.

=== Using profile parameters ===

All parameters mentioned and described here (input or output) can also be used as command lines. To use them as such, add the following to the map_xps conversion command:
-param:name_of_the_parameter=value

Example:
 map_xps -infile:/home/map2019/label.xps -outfile:/home/map2019/label.zpl -toZPL -param:resolution=203 -param:barcode=off

===Managing indexing criteria===
==== List all available indexes and their values ====

To list all indexing criteria in the file

Example:
 map_xps -infile:/home/map2019/email.xps -dumpIndex

[[File:Mapxps-index.PNG|600px|center|sans_cadre]] 


To list all index values in the file called indexing of a document


Example:
 map_xps -infile:/home/map2019/email.xps –dumpIndex:CUSTOMER

====Adding an index value on all pages of a document====

In some cases, an indexing criteria can be present on all pages but some of them do not have index values, in other cases the indexing criteria is not present on all the pages. The following command is then used to reindex the document by copying the index values that are on the previous page onto the pages without index values.


Example:
 map_xps -infile:/home/map2019/email.xps –copyEmptyIndex:INVOICE

A file before the command was run: 
 Page	Index	Value
 1	INVOICE	1
 2
  
 3	INVOICE	2
 4	INVOICE	3
 5

File after the command was run:
 Page	Index	Value
 1	INVOICE	1
 2	INVOICE	1
 3	INVOICE	2
 4	INVOICE	3
 5	INVOICE	3

==Adding indexing criteria to a document==

The aim is to index a document by adding criteria to it.

The values of every criterion can be specified in the command line: all the pages of the document will then have the same index value.


Example:
  map_xps -infile:/home/map2019/email.xps -addCriteria:NUMORDER=123456


[[File:Mapxps-criteria.PNG|600px|center|sans_cadre]] 


Index values usually come from a prior extraction of information in the document and are stocked in a temporary text file (as can be seen below). This syntax uses the keyword "File" to indicate that the added index values need to be extracted from the file created earlier.


Example:
 map_xps -infile:/home/map2019/email.xps -addCriteria:NUMORDER=FILE:/home/map2019/email.txt [ –outfile:/home/map201/email_indexed.xps]

==Extracting criteria values of a document==

The aim is to look for information in the document to extract it and copy it in a temporary file so as to add it as indexing criteria of the same document afterwards. The temporary file created is in text format, in Unicode, with the following syntax: "value[TAB]page[CRLF]"

The information can be collected using keywords or locations.

The extra spaces before and/or after the text can be trimmed off so that the information returned does not include them. This is done using the following parameters:
 -ltrim: deletes spaces before the text
 -rtrim: deletes spaces after the text
 -trim: deletes spaces before and after the text

Example 1: keyword research
 map_xps -infile:/home/map2019/email.xps -extract:/home/map2019/email.txt
 "-filter:Invoice for order" -length:10 –shift:2 -rtrim

10 characters are extracted, located 2 characters after the "Invoice for order" keyword, while the unwanted space after the returned text is deleted

Example 1: research per location
 map_xps -infile:/home/map2019/email.xps -extract:/home/map2019/email.txt "-box:100,150,180,30,mm"

The parameters of the "box" specify its dimensions. The syntax is: xx.xx,xx.xx,xx.xx,xx.xx[,cm|in|mm]

4 decimal numbers, specifying respectively: top, bottom, left, right

The dot is the decimal delimiter

The comma or semi-colon is the values delimiter

The last parameter is the unite of these coordinates: in dots per inch (for a resolution of 96dpi) by default, in millimeters (mm),in centimeters (cm) or in inches (in)

==Exporting indexes and their values==

The aim is to create an index file from a document that would be archived in an other software later on. This index file can be in TXT, XML or IND (compatible with CMSs) format.

The "-duplicateindex" parameter also exports indexes with the same value on multiple pages.


Examples:
 map_xps -infile:/home/map2019/mail.xps -indexfile:/home/map2019/file.txt –toXPS [-duplicateindex] 
 map_xps -infile:/home/map2019/email.xps -indexfile:/home/map2019/file.xml -toXPS [-duplicateindex]  
 map_xps -infile:/home/map2019/email.xps -indexfile:/home/map2019/file.ind -toXPS [-duplicateindex]

[[File:Mapxps-exportxml.PNG|600px|center|sans_cadre]]

==Using indexing criteria==
=== Sorting a document ===

The aim is to sort a document depending on the value of the indexing criteria. Only one output file will be created. The document is sorted by ascending order of numeric values by default. The ALPHA option allows you to sort with alphanumeric values and the REVERSE option allows you to sort by descending order.


Examples:
 map_xps -infile:/home/map2019/email.xps -outfile:/home/map2019/email.pdf –sort:CUSTNBR -toPDF 
 map_xps -infile:/home/map2019/email.xps -outfile:/home/map2019/email.pdf –sort:ALPHA:MAPSEND -toPDF
 map_xps -infile:/home/map2019/email.xps -outfile:/home/map2019/email.pdf –sort:CUSTNBR,INV_NBR -toPDF 
 map_xps -infile:/home/map2019/email.xps -outfile:/home/map2019/email.pdf -sort:CUSTNBR,REVERSE:INV_NBR -toPDF

[[File:Mapxps-trie.PNG|600px|center|sans_cadre]]

=== Spliting a document ===
The aim is to split a document depending on the values of indexing criteria. You can create as many output files as there are different criteria values.


Example:
 <nowiki>map_xps -infile:/home/map2019/email.xps -outfile:/home/map2019/email_[[MAPSEND]].pdf –toPDF</nowiki>

[[File:Mapxps-eclater.PNG|600px|center|sans_cadre]] 


The BUNDLEONINDEX creates bundles depending on the number of pages for every criteria value (for instance: 1 file with documents of 1 to 4 pages, 1 file with documents of 5 to 9 pages, 1 file with documents of more than 10 pages). You can create as many bundles as you would like to.


Example:
 <nowiki>map_xps -infile:/home/map2019/email.xps -outfile:/home/map2019/email_[[BUNDDLEONINDEX,MAPSEND,1,5,10]].pdf –toPDF</nowiki>

In the BUNDLEONINDEX mode, the document can also be split depending on the number of the number of pages (that is to say whether the final page will be simplex/duplex or not), the the syntax is:
 
 <nowiki>map_xps -infile:/home/map2019/email.xps -outfile:/home/map2019/email_[[BUNDDLEONINDEX=LEAF,MAPSEND,1,5,10]].pdf –toPDF</nowiki>

=== Filters based on criteria values ===
the aim is to put some pages apart of the rest of the document depending on the values of indexing criteria. This can be useful to create an input document which is only intended for specific customers.


Examples:
<code>map_xps -infile:/home/map2019/email.xps -outfile:/home/map2019/email.pdf -toPDF –filter:CUSTOMER=426</code>
<code>map_xps -infile:/home/map2019/email.xps -outfile:/home/map2019/email.pdf -toPDF "-filter:(CUSTOMER=4026) OR (CUSTOMER=1458) AND (PRICE=15)"</code>

This can also be useful to run actions on specific pages only depending on criteria values (to manage PrintTickets for example)

==Concatenating XPS files==
The aim is to add several documents one after the other. The output document is the concatenation of all files specified in the command line, in the order they were placed.

You could then sort depending on indexing criteria which was defined beforehand in every
file to merge files from different sources (invoice + standard form contract + newsletter…)


Examples:

Concatenating several XPS files in one go:
 map_xps -outfile:/home/map2019/final.xps -add:/home/map2019/test1.xps -add:/home/map2019/test2.xps –add:/home/map2019/test3.xps

Concatenating several times when you do not already know the number of input XPS files:
  map_xps -tempfile:/home/map2019/final.xps -add:/home/map2019/test1.xps 
  map_xps -tempfile:/home/map2019/final.xps -add:/home/map2019/test2.xps 
  map_xps -tempfile:/home/map2019/final.xps -add:/home/map2019/test3.xps

==Managing PrintTickets==

The aim is to manage different parameters of a document printing job, either at job level or page level.

The syntax is:
 map_xps -infile:/home/map2019/email.xps -set:NOM=VALEUR

The "-filter:XXX" option allows you to assign a printing attribute for some pages only, depending on the indexing values of the document.

the different "PrintTicket" attributes are:
 
DUPLEX: manages simplex/duplex
* yes/no: double-sided using the long edges, or simplex only
* long/short/F: doubled sided using the long or short edges, or simplex only

FRONTSIDE (on/off): forces the print to be on the simplex side (with PCL output only, combined with options -filter:XXX and -pages:*)

INPUTBIN / OUTPUTBIN (numerical value): managing input/output bins
* ORIENTATION (numerical value) 
* 0: Portrait
* 1: Landscape
* 2: ReversePortrait	 3: ReverseLandscape

COPY (numerical value): number of copies

STAPLE (numerical value)
* 1 = SaddleStitch	(staples in the middle of the page) 
* 2 = StapleBottomLeft	(bottom left stapling)
* 3 = StapleBottomRight (bottom right stapling) 
* 4 = StapleDualBottom	(bottom stapling)
* 5 = StapleDualLeft	(left stapling) 
* 6 = StapleDualRight	(right stapling) 
* 7 = StapleDualTop	(top stapling)
* 8 = StapleTopLeft	(top left stapling) 
* 9 = StapleTopRight	(top right stapling) 
* 10 = None	(stop stapling)


MEDIATYPE (alphabetical value): type of paper Examples: Archival, Label, Bristol, AutoSelect…

NUP (numerical value: 1, 2 or 4): merging 1, 2 or 4 pages of the initial document on 1 output page

LEFTOFFSET: left offset in dots

TOPOFFSET: top offset in dots

JOBCUT: yes/no. Command used to implement breaks in jobs (to use the utility knife on printers that have one)

TOGGLE: yes/no. Command used to move the paper.


Note:

All these parameters will then need to be managed in conversion profiles of the XPSConfig.conf file depending on the final form of the documents. You can also use these parameters when converting directly without using the -set : -duplex:LONG instead of -set:DUPLEX=LONG.


Examples :
*To configure the simplex/duplex on an existing XPS file:
  map_xps -infile:/home/map2019/myfile.xps -set:DUPLEX=yes
*To configure only the simplex on an existing XPS file:
  map_xps -infile:/home/map2019/myfile.xps -set:DUPLEX=no
*to manage PrintTickets at page level:
  map_xps -infile:/home/map2019/email.xps -set:INPUTBIN=2 -pages:2,3
*To configure the duplexon the first page and the simplex/duplex on the following ones:
  map_xps -infile:/home/map2019/myfile.xps -set:DUPLEX=yes
  map_xps -infile:/home/map2019/myfile.xps -set:DUPLEX=no -pages:1

==Sending an e-mail==
Sending resulting files by e-mail after running the map_xps command. 

Required parameters:
 -toEmail | -toMail
 -server:XXX => SMTP server
 -from:XXX	=> sender
 -to:XXX	=> recipient(s)
 -infile:XXX => XPS file to attach in the e-mail

Optional parameters (whether an argument listed below is optional or not may depend on the SMTP server) :
 -domain:mydomain.net	=> SMTP server domain
 -port:25	=> SMTP server port
 -login:username	=> login for the SMTP server
 -passwd:*******	=> password for the SMTP server
 -cc:XXX	=> carbon copy recipient(s)
 -bcc:XXX	=> blind carbon copy recipient(s)
 "-subject:This is my subject" => subject of the e-mail
 "-body:This is my body"	=> body of the e-mail in text format
 -bodyhtml:XXX	=> body of the e-mail in HTML format
 -bodyhtml:FILE:/home/izaopale/bodyhtml.html
 -footer:XXX	=> E-mail footer in text format
 -footerhtml:XXX	=> e-mail format in HTML format
 -footerhtml:FILE=/home/izaopale/footer.html
 -attachment:XXX	=> additional attachments, separated by a comma
 -outfile:XXX	=> If the e-mail is sent, this argument allows you to give a name to the main attachment (infile argument) sent


Example 1:
<code>map_xps -infile:/home/map2019/file.xps -toMail -from:XXX -to:XXX -login:XXX -passwd:XXX -server:XXX "-subject:e-mail test" "-body:This is a test" -outfile:namePJ.xps</code>


Example 2: with 2 additional attachments
<code>map_xps -infile:/home/map2019/file.xps -toMail -from:XXX -to:XXX -login:XXX -passwd:XXX -server:XXX "-subject:E-mail test" "-body:This is a test" -outfile:namePJ.xps -attachment:/home/izaopale/PJ1.pdf,/home/izaopale/PJ2.pdf</code>


Example 3: the attachment is converted to PDF
<code>map_xps -infile:/home/map2019/file.xps -toMail -from:XXX -to:XXX -login:XXX -passwd:XXX -server:XXX "-subject:E-mail test" "-body:This is a test" -toPDF -outfile:namePJ.pdf</code>

==Mapping and printing – Redirecting to an OUTQ==

The document is mapped and implicitly/explicitly converted in output
 
Output languages supported when running the MAPCPYSPLF are: o 	Parameter TYPLAN:  

*PCL 	 
*AFPDS 	 
*ZEBRA 	 
*DATAMAX 	 
*AUTO 	                            
*IGP 	 
*TEC 	 
*IPL 	 
*F_D 	 
*PDF 	 
*EPL 	 
*XPS 	
 

The value *AUTO uses the value of the parameter entered in option 1 of the Mapping Menu.
 
In this case, if *AUTO is specified in the TYPLAN parameter of the software command, the software will use the templates generated in PCL language. 
 
	o 	XPSCONVERT parameter:  
 
Value 	Note
*AUTO 	Value of 14/14 - PROFILE Parameter
Value of 
profile 	Profile specified in XPSConfig.conf 
	
 
 
The value *AUTO retrieves the profile name of the printer which is configured in option Defining printer parameters of the Operations Menu.


<u>Definition example</u>: 
   
In this example, the *PCL profile is specified for all printers. This means you will not have to specify the name of all Outqs / Devices of the system if physical printers are laser printers.
 
This profile  name must be configured in the XPSConfig.conf file (located in the IFS, under the root of the MAPPING folder). 
 
A configuration file is installed by default with the following values: 
 
<xpsconfig> 
## This file contains the conversion profile for Mapping.  
## You can create your own profile based on the Mapping documentation. BE CAREFUL WITH THE FILE STRUCTURE. 
## PROFILE NAMES STARTING WITH * ARE RESERVED FOR MAPPING. SO DO NOT CREATE OR MODIFY A PROFILE STARTING WITH *. 
 	<*XPS> 
 	 	<label>DO NOT MODIFY - standard XPS</label> 
 	 	<language>XPS</language> 
 	</*XPS> 
 	<*PCL> 
 	 	<label>DO NOT MODIFY - standard PCL5/e</label> 
 	 	<language>PCL</language> 
 	 	<color>off</color> 
 	</*PCL> 

 
In this example, the *PCL profile uses PCL language (<language> parameter of the profile).  
 
 
Example of commands for printed output:
  MAPCPYSPLF SPLF(SPOOL) SPLNUM(7) JOB(QPADEV003K) JOBNUM(062592) USER(XXX) 
  MAPNAM(INVOICEXPS) MAPSEQ(00010) OUTQ(PCLPRT) TYPLAN(*XPS) XPSCONVERT(*AUTO) 
 
<u>Explanation</u>: 
 
TYPLAN: 	 
This is used to choose the language for the template. 
This parameter can also be set to value *AUTO, in which case the program retrieves the value chosen in Option 1 of the Mapping Menu.

XPSCONVERT:
Converted implicitly in output. With this parameter set to *AUTO the profile used is the one configured in Option 6 of the Operations Menu.  
 
 
Another example: 

 MAPCPYSPLF SPLF(SPOOL) SPLNUM(7) JOB(QPADEV003K) JOBNUM(062592) USER(XXX) 
 MAPNAM(INVOICEXPS) MAPSEQ(00010) OUTQ(PCLPRT) TYPLAN(*XPS) XPSCONVERT(*PCL) 
 

<u>Explanation</u>: 
 
XPSCONVERT: 	Converted explicitly in output. With *PCL, the *PCL profile of the XPSConfig.conf file will be used here.  
 
'''  Mapping with an output file placed in the IFS'''  /'''Mapping the document, converting and storing it in the IFS''' 
 
The same commands can be used to place the converted mapping output in the IFS. What you need to do is fill-in the XPSOUTFILE parameter.  
The default value of XPSOUTFILE is set to *PRINT, so as not to generate any output file. 
 
Example: 
 
 MAPCPYSPLF SPLF(SPOOL) SPLNUM(7) JOB(QPADEV003K) JOBNUM(062592) USER(XXX) 
 MAPNAM(INVOICEXPS) MAPSEQ(00010) OUTQ(PCLPRT) TYPLAN(*XPS) XPSCONVERT(*PCL) XPSOUTFILE(‘/home/map2019/invoice.pcl’)

==Transferring the log in a file==

This retrieves all map_xps command logs in a text file. 

Example:
 map_xps -infile:/home/map2019/email.xps –logfile:/tmp/mylog.log

[[File:Mapxps-log.PNG|600px|center|sans_cadre]]

==Listing the resources==
This displays all the resources (fonts and images) compiled in an XPS file. 

Example:
 map_xps -infile:/home/map2019/email.xps –listResource

[[File:Mapxps-listerR.PNG|600px|center|sans_cadre]]

==Extracting pages==

This defines intervals and/or selected pages to process. Page intervals need to be specified in the command line, selected pages can be specified by using directly the path of the text file their are compiled in, in this case the syntax is: page number+CRLF. Using the ‘*’ character to set intervals indicates the end of the document.

Examples:
 map_xps -infile:/home/map2019/email.xps -outfile:/home/map2019/email.pdf -pages:1,3,4,7,10 –toPDF 
 map_xps -infile:/home/map2019/email.xps -outfile:/home/map2019/email.pdf -pages:3-10 –toPDF 
 map_xps -infile:/home/map2019/email.xps -outfile:/home/map2019/email.pdf -pages:1,5,10-* –toPDF 
 map_xps -infile:/home/map2019/email.xps -outfile:/home/map2019/email.pdf -pages:FILE:/home/map2019/test.txt –toPDF

==Extracting XML data (in Designer)==

This creates an XML file which is compatible with Designer and in which all the text data of the XPS file is processed. Every text zone of the XPS file becomes an XML field, designated by its XY coordinates. These coordinates are defined in 72 dpi.
 
This is also used to create an XML file to add [[OPALE:10.0:Utilisation:Gestion des codes OMR|OMR marks]].
 

Example :
 map_xps -infile:/home/map2019/billing.xps –toXMLDRAW -outfile:/home/map2019/billing.draw.xml

[[File:Mapxps-d-xml.PNG|500px|center|sans_cadre]]

==Formats and size of a document's pages:== 

To edit the size of a document's pages, or the size of the data inside a page, 3 arguments of the command line are used:
<code>-paper:XXX:changes the size of the paper (page), without changing the content.</code>
<code>-scale:XXX: changes the size of the content, without changing the paper.</code>
<code>-changeformat:XXX: changes the document format by changing the size of the paper while also adjusting the content (keeps proportions).</code>

<U>Syntaxes</U>

To put the content of a page to scale, the "-scale:XXX" argument needs to be set using percentage values from 0 to infinity (be careful data losses can occur for values above 100 because the size of the paper is not changed).

To change the size of the output paper, whether you also edit the content or not, the « -  changeformat:XXX » and « -paper:XXX » arguments are used to define the size of the format, with ISO standards or costumed settings.

Possible values ISO: AUTO, EXECUTIVE, LETTER, LEGAL, LEDGER, A4, A3, A2, A1, A0, MONARCH, COM10, DL, CS, B5
Syntax for custom size: -changeformat:xx.xx,xx.xx[,cm|in|mm]
2 decimal values, respectively the length and height. The dot is the decimal delimiter.
The comma or semi-colon is the values delimiter.

The unit is optional: cm (by default), mm ou in Examples :
 
 map_xps -infile:/home/map2019/billing.xps –scale:50 -outfile:/home/izaopale/out.xps 
 map_xps -infile:/home/map2019/billing.xps –changeformat:A4 -outfile:/home/izaopale/out.xps
 map_xps -infile:/home/map2019/billing.xps –changeformat:21,29.7,cm -outfile:/home/izaopale/out.xps

==Rotating documents==

This rotates the content of an XPS file

The rotation angle (in degrees) is specified in the command line, the rotation goes in anticlockwise direction by default. All rotation angles are technically supported, however right angles are the only ones that respect the coherence of the original page dimensions.

Supported values: -90 (90° clockwise rotation), 90, 180, 270.
Note: -180 and -270 are not supported values (blank page in output), use 180 and 90.

[[File:Mapxps-rotate.png|600px|center|sans_cadre]]   

Example:
 map_xps -infile:/home/map2019/file.xps -outfile:/home/map2019/file_90.xps –rotation:90 -toXPS

==Adding an overlay to an existing document==


You can add another document as an overlay or layer to an existing XPS document. For instance: adding a logo on an existing invoice that does not have one.

The optional argument "-mergemode:XXX" allows you to adjust the additional overlay in a more detailed way.


Example:
<code> map_xps -infile:/home/map2019/billing.xps -merge:/home/map2019/logo.xps -mergemode:REPEATALL -outfile:/home/map2019/final.xps </code>


[[Fichier:Mapxps-fusion.png|centré|734x734px|sans_cadre]]


The "-merge:XXX" argument specifies the name of the file to add as overlay onto the input document. The "-mergemode:XXX" argument specifies the method used to add the overlay:

REPEATALL: all pages are merged together and the overlay is added onto every page until the end of the input file. If nothing specifies otherwise, this is the default setting.

Exemple :
* En entrée : fichier d’entrée de 5 pages (identifiées par 1,2,3,4,5) et un calque de 2 pages (identifiées a,b) 
* En sortie : un fichier de 5 pages identifiées 1a,2b,3a,4b,5a

REPEATFULL : toutes les pages sont fusionnées, en répétant le calque tant qu’il peut être inséré entièrement. 

Exemple :
* Avec les mêmes entrées que précédemment, on aura en sortie un fichier de 5 pages identifiées 1a,2b,3a,4b,5 (la dernière page n’étant donc pas modifiée).

ONCE : le calque n’est inséré qu’une seule fois, sur la ou les premières pages du fichier d’entrée. 

Exemple :
