I have to look at converting signature images to page segments. I am
looking at examples of the output from the AFP printer drive, as well as
the MO:DCA & IO:CA documentation, and I feel I'm close. I think I can
put together most of the structured fields.
Where I am is figuring out what to put into the image picture data (IPD)
structured field. I think my best bet is to use TIFF Group 4 - a bitmap
(regular, not RLE) would be too large.
And then, which part of a TIFF file do I use.
One thing I've seen that is confusing, I think - I have used the AFP
driver with a BMP to create the PRN used to create a page segment. I
also have converted the BMP to a TIFF using ImageMagick (BTW, got that
installed on our 7.1 box and it works great). The content of the PRN is
larger than that of the TIFF - the PRN describes the picture data as
Group 4 compression - so is the TIFF option I selected - so maybe Group
4 can have different results? Ah to be such a novice!
So if anyone has done this and is willing to share, please post here or
contact me privately.
