Output uses
XDC files to generate the PDL that is sent to a printer. Output
prints a form by producing PDL instructions that it sends to a printer.
The PDL instructions reflect information from a form design file,
XML form data, and an XDC file, as shown in the illustration below.
These files contribute in the following ways:
-
The form design file and the XML form data files are
merged to produce a static, printable form with data.
-
The XDC file provides information about the printer to produce
PDL instructions specific for the target printer. For example, the
XDC file provides mappings between paper types (media) and input
tray numbers. In addition, the XDC file provides special PDL sequences
that are injected into the PDL instructions sent to the printer.
