Xenos Metacode to PDF

The Xenos Metacode to PDF feature of the Xenos d2e Vision product accurately transforms Xerox LCDS and Metacode print streams to Adobe PDF documents. This transformation is done with no changes required to the applications that generate the Xerox Metacode documents.

The Xenos Metacode to PDF feature parses Xerox Metacode and Line Conditioned Data Streams (LCDS) sometimes referred to as DJDE (Dynamic Job Descriptor Entry) print streams. Line data and mixed mode files that print on Xerox centralized printers are supported, as well as pure Metacode files.

This Metacode to PDF transformation is useful for use in web applications and ECM document presentment solutions. The Xenos Metacode to PDF feature can be used for on-the-fly transformation of Metacode print stream documents for web presentment.
