You use the pdcreate command to identify the directory or directories where the
AFP resources reside and provide a name for the resource-context object. You use
the AFP Resources tab of the actual destination and default document attributes
notebooks in the InfoPrint Manager Administration GUI, or the Command Prompt
window from an InfoPrint Manager for Windows server, to identify the
resource-context object name or which paths you want to associate with that object.
Jobs can also reference resource-context objects through their contained documents.
See "The search order for AFP resources" for the search order InfoPrint uses to
locate resource-context objects for a job. Both the actual destination and the
resource-context objects that are referenced must reside in the same InfoPrint
server.
You can also purchase additional resources or even create your own custom
resources. To create page definitions and form definitions, you can purchase the
Page Printer Formatting Aid (PPFA) for Windows, which is an optional feature of
InfoPrint Manager for Windows.
