Re: Help Systems' email about AFP support discontinued at 7.3 - not true ! - or is it ?

Tiff don't work well (or at all) with web pages last I heard. Things may
have changed with HTML5?

I've done a few projects for clients that redact images (which are scanned
legal documents) and show them to customers via a browser. They were
stored as tiff. In each case we needed to convert the tiff to jpg or
something else in order to have it be displayed on the web page.

I've been pushing reports in HTML since the late 90s early 2000s when I
wrote my first eRPG book. It fell on deaf ears for the most part even
though the book was a HUGE success. *shrug* I'm sure one day it will
catch on.

I don't really care for AFPDS either. We offer similar tools that let you
add overlays, images, barcodes, etc to SCS spooled files when converted to
PDF. The downside is the "data" needs to be a non-proportional font or the
alignment goes all to cr*p. I refer to it as a "digital pre-printed
form". The forms look nice (if designed a such of course), and the data is
all courier font. Not so bad, and most of the time a lot easier than AFPDS.

No problem with embedding PNG, GIF, JPG images in the output. I haven't
tried TIFF.
