Hi Jack. Crawford Technologies has software that will merge various document/filetypes incl AFP Reports. If you'd like to discuss, I’m at kreser@crawfordtech.com. Lots of ODUG members are aware of and use our SW for various ECM and production print needs. Thanks. Kent Reser

Workshops/webinars, and the like / Join us on Tuesday April 30 1pm - ET Accessible Document support for IBM CMOD

« on: April 08, 2019, 07:21:07 AM »

Crawford Technologies presents the solution to making all your documents accessible to the blind and vision impaired.

You’ve invested heavily in IBM’s Content Manager on Demand (CMOD) and have an efficient Advanced Function Presentation (AFP) workflow. Learn how to maintain your current document workflow without changing it from storage in AFP format and still present accessible PDF and accessible HTML5 to that portion of your customers who request it.

Join Harvey Gross, Vice President – Products and Dennis Quon, Director - Document Accessibility Solutions for a discussion on providing accessible documents from IBM CMOD. Subjects covered will be:

--Changing accessibility standards – today WCAG 2.0 AA, tomorrow WCAG 2.1

--Upcoming and current Web presentment laws in regions like Europe and Canada require remediation of archived documents

--For the USA, the majority of recent judgements have ruled in favor accessible web sites and accessible documents.

--Ad hoc – on-demand presentment – remediate on-the-fly

--Find out why a Post Composition workflow is the most efficient method of taking your content to accessible presentment

--Accessible PDF and HTML 5 – prepare for the future and allow for preference management including alternate formats

--Managing customer preference – how to succeed with multiple output type requests

To find out more about providing accessible documents for your customers join us for our 'Accessible Documents for IBM Content Manager on Demand' webinar on Tuesday April 30 at 1pm ET

z/OS Server / Potential issue for upgrading customers who are ordering CMOD z/OS V9

« on: February 27, 2013, 01:31:12 PM »

There is a potential issue with existing customers ordering CMOD z/OS V9 - at least by using ShopZ.  I'm told (but haven't seen it) that this issue may have impacted customers upgrading to CMOD z/OS 8.5 as well.  Below is a note I sent out to my CMOD z/OS customers which describes the issue. 

When you order CMOD z/OS V9 using ShopZ to upgrade from either 8.4, 8.4.1 or 8.5 (CMOD z/OS 8.4 & 8.4.1 go out of support 4/30/13), there may be a charge indicated on the order.  There should be no charge for a like for like (same features) upgrade to CMOD z/OS V9 from any entitled SS&S 8.4, 8.4.1 or 8.5  customer.  The order will then go to our zSeries Techline group who will manually "fix" the order and process it and the product should ship, or be available normally afterwards, and no charges/invoice should result.

z/OS Server / Re: Creating "Stacked" PDF out of Exstream

« on: January 22, 2011, 06:41:53 AM »

So, I want to be sure I understand the indexing approach taken here by LWagner.

• You arsdump'd a PDF file - created by Exstream as described earlier
• You copied the desired coordinates into a "keyboard input" indexing parameters file just like you would for a linedata file, or an AFP file.
• You specified PDF as the input data type/load method
• You loaded with arsload
• You did not use the graphical indexer on the file
• This was not a "stacked" PDF file (multiple separate PDFs in a single file) but a single PDF file with multiple customer statements in it.

Did I get that right?  Please correct where I'm wrong.
Thanks.
