AFP Errors

The following information describes how to handle error messages you may encounter while using the Documaker Bridge and AFP print streams.

Character set xxxxx not found

If you receive this error message, the AFP print stream uses a character set and code page file name instead of coded font file name to specify an AFP font to be used. In this case, you will need to create an additional file called IBMXREF.TBL to provide additional AFP font information. IBMXREF.TBL is a text file that contains pairs of coded font names and character set names. This file should be placed in the directory specified by the FORMLIB INI setting.

What you are doing is specifying the coded font file name to use when a reference to the character set file is encountered in the AFP print stream. The system searches in the FXR file for the coded font file name to determine font information it needs during the PDF conversion.

When entering the coded font and character set names in IBMXREF.TBL, do not use the first two letters (X0, X1, C0, C1, and so on). The coded font and character set names need to be written in UPPER CASE and separated by at least one space. Each pair of coded font and character set names should be written on separate lines. For example, if you receive an error stating…

Character set C0AR111 not found…

Add a line of coded font and character set names to the IBMXREF.TBL. If a coded font file named X0AR11P contained a reference to the character set file C0AR111, you would add the following line to IBMXREF.TBL:

AR11P AR111

Notice the first two letters of X0AR11P and C0AR111 are omitted from the line added to IBMXREF.TBL. You should have inserted the coded font file, X0AR11P, into the FXR file previously.

If you have character set files but do not have any coded font files, you can insert a character file into the FXR. However, you must edit the font inserted into the FXR and specify a coded font file name on the Printers page. In this case, use the character set name as the coded font name and change the first letter from C to X. In this case, the pair of names stored in the IBMXREF.TBL will be the same.

If you have a character set file that is used by more than one code page file, you can map each character set/code page file combination to a coded font file named in the FXR. To do this, add a third column to the IBMXREF.TBL. The third column contains the name of code page file. For example, to map the coded font file, X0AR11P, to the character set and code page files, C0AR111, and T1ISI121, you would add this line to IBMXREF.TBL:

AR11P AR111 T1ISI121

Notice the first two letters of X0AR11P and C0AR111 are omitted from the line added to IBMXREF.TBL but the full name of the code page file, T1ISI121, is used.

Error opening overlay: xxxxxxxx

If you receive this error message, the AFP print stream uses an overlay that the system could not find. Notice the path and file extension of the overlay specified in the error message. Make sure your AFP overlay is stored in the proper directory and contains the expected file extension.

Error opening page segment: xxxxxxxx

If you receive this error message, the AFP print stream uses a page segment that the system could not find. Notice the path and file extension of the page segment specified in the error message. Make sure your AFP page segment is stored in the proper directory and contains the expected file extension.

Error opening logo: xxxxxxxx

If you receive this error message, it is likely that the AFP print stream uses a page segment that the system could not find. If so, you would have received an error message for the missing page segment as well. Correct the problem with the missing page segment and this error should disappear as well.
