Description |
|
/I |
The file name of the AFP file to dump. Include the extension. The output is named filename.dds |
|
/H |
(Optional) Include this parameter to tell the utility to also dump the HEX values. |
The AFPDUMP utility reads a print-ready AFP file and creates a text file which contains English explanations of the AFP printer commands. If you include the /H option, the utility lists the hexadecimal characters for each AFP command before the its English explanation.
In addition to reading a print-ready AFP file, the AFPDUMP utility can also read AFP overlays (page segments) and AFP font files (coded font, code page, and character set files).
You can use the AFPDUMP utility to check:
- Which fonts are being used in an AFP print ready or overlay.
- If text is correctly output in an AFP print ready or overlay.
- Which code page and character set files are used by a coded font file.
- What characters and code points are defined in an AFP code page file.
- If the characters named in the code page file match those in the character set file.
