Using Conversion Profiles

Using Conversion Profiles

Command Line

Converting XPS Documents

Le principe est de convertir des fichiers XPS, générés ou non par ONYX Server, en vue de leur diffusion finale (impression, envoi par email, archivage…) et en fonction de leur canal de diffusion. Pour rappel, les langages de sortie supportés sont : PCL, RTF, AFPDS, MapDraw, ProPrinter, PDF, Monarch, HTML, DOCX, TEC, BMP, JPG, PNG, XPS, TXT, XMLPOS, EPL, ZEBRA, IGP, ESCP, ESC, XMLDRAW, PS

Exemple 1 : génération de flux PCL pour impression

map_xps -infile:/tmp/invoice.xps -toPCL -outfile:/tmp/invoice.pcl

Exemple 2 : génération de PDF sur disque, pour éventuel envoi par email

map_xps -infile:/tmp/invoice.xps -toPDF -outfile:/tmp/invoice.pdf

Conversions par sélection d'un profil

The idea is the same but in addition the conversion needs to be made more precise using the parameters of a specific profile found in the configuration file.

Example:

map_xps -infile:/tmp/invoice.xps -outfile:/tmp/invoice.pdf -convert -profile:MYPDF
      -config:XXXX or -profile:XXXX ⇒ select the profile used for conversion
      -convert ⇒   forces conversion using the selected profile

With for example the MYPDF profile found in the configuration file:

<MYPDF>
      <label>Document for Adobe Reader</label>
      <language>PDF</language>
      <embeddedfont>off</embeddedfont>
      <color>on</color>
</MYPDF>

Automatically in the Spooler

In the ONYX Server spooler, the conversion profiles are configured and used at printer level. When configuring a printer in the Spooler, the parameter Compatibility XPS must be specified, which will apply the conversion profile to all XPS data streams printing to this printer.

The items in the dropdown list are the labels of each available profile. They help identify the profile that should be used to convert the XPS print stream into a language understood by the printer.
