Section - 11 : PDF417 FXR Files


The PDF417 resources you receive from Oracle Insurance for Documaker include FXR files you can use. Prior to version 11.2, the PDF417_2.FXR and PDF417.FXR files were provided to licensed PDF417 customers. Included in version 11.2, the REL112.FXR file contains the PDF417 font references found in the two PDF417 FXR files previously included in this product.

The 0912 and 1216 font IDs from the PDF417.FXR file (used for 300 dpi printing) are included in the REL112.FXR file.

The 0912 and 1216 font IDs from the PDF417_2.FXR file (only used if your primary printer is an AFP 240 dpi printer) are included in the REL112.FXR file as font IDs 0911 and 1215 to avoid conflicting with the 0912 and 1216 font IDs used for 300 dpi printing.

This table summarizes the differences in the FXR files:

FXR file Used in version For these printers Contains these font IDs
PDF417.FXR 11.1 or lower 300 dpi 0912 and 1216
PDF417_2.FXR 11.1 or lower 240 dpi AFP only 0912 and 1216
REL112.FXR 11.2 and higher 300 or 240 dpi 0912 and 1216 (300 dpi) 0911 and 1215 (240 dpi)

If you are running version 11.1 or lower:

  • Only use the PDF417_2.FXR file when your primary printer is an AFP 240 dpi printer. You can also use this FXR file to print to other printers, but only if your primary printer is an AFP 240 dpi printer.

  • Use the PDF417.FXR file in all other cases. For instance, if your primary printer is a PCL, Metacode, or 300 dpi AFP printer, you would use the PDF417.FXR file.

If you are running version 11.2 or higher, use the REL112.FXR file.

You can include the contents of these FXR files into the FXR file you are currently using. Studio’s Font manager lets you insert fonts from another FXR file. For more information, see the Documaker Studio User Guide.

Note: If the font IDs conflict with existing font IDs, renumber them.
