 Chapter 1: Introduction to DXF
Exstream (formerly Dialogue) Exchange Format (DXF) is a proprietary XML language for
exchanging design and content information between Exstream Design and Production and other
systems. Using DXF allows you to import content and designs from other systems into
Exstream; to supply content in XML form to other systems; and even to "round-trip" content
exported from Exstream, processing it with another system and subsequently importing it back
into in Exstream. Solutions that use DXF to integrate Exstream with your existing systems help
your organization to reduce migration costs and startup times for new communication
applications, maintain consistency across different communication types, and avoid redundant
design work and re-entry of data.

You can use this guide as a reference to help you do the following:

l Understand how DXF can be used.

l Understand the contents of DXF created by Exstream or built-in converters.

l Use DXF in creating your own custom tools to convert other formats.

DXF uses XML to describe importable Exstream designs and content. You can use DXF as an
intermediate language to integrate almost any type of content with Exstream so that you can
use existing content from your other systems in your customer communications. You can
rapidly migrate existing designs and content into Exstream, or you can integrate data from other
systems with Exstream in real time. For example, suppose you have an existing web interface
to enter customer information, and the entered information is stored in a non-Exstream format.
You want to create forms using the customer information and print them in a high-volume print
production process. However, because the structure of the forms varies from customer to
customer, you cannot use a fixed template. You can easily integrate the existing data with
Exstream Design and Production to create the forms by transforming the existing format to DXF
and importing the DXF into your Exstream Design and Production application. The application
can then use the forms just as it could if they were originally created in Exstream. This example
illustrates how using DXF to import designs lets you take advantage of the power of Exstream
even when there are constraints that don't allow a traditional template or fixed design.

You can also use DXF as an intermediate language to reuse content from Exstream in your
other systems. For example, you can convert the customer forms you create in Exstream into
DXF so that the forms can be displayed directly in an existing web application designed to
display XML-based forms.

Although you can import formatted text and images into Exstream using other formats (such as
RTF, DOCX, and tagged text), DXF provides more flexibility for importing and reusing content
because you can define objects that make up an Exstream Design and Production application
(such as documents, pages, messages, campaigns, rules, and variables), as well as Designer
objects (such as shapes and charts). DXF content that is ready to be imported can have a
clearly defined structure to fit readily into an Exstream application, and you can then use and
edit the imported objects as if they were originally created in Exstream Design and Production.
Similarly, when you export DXF content from Exstream for use in another system, you can store

OpenText Exstream (16.4 Update 1) Page 8 of 740

DXF Reference
Chapter 1: Introduction to DXF

it with the same clearly defined structure so that it can be re-imported into Exstream after
changes are made in an external system.

After you develop and set up the necessary programs or transformations, these tasks can be
done on demand by users or as an automatic part of your production process so that Exstream
is fully integrated with your existing systems.

To help you determine whether DXF is the right tool to use for your particular needs in
exchanging content and designs, see “Is DXF the Right Tool for Your Integration Goals?” on
page 13.

This chapter discusses the following topics:

l “Uses of DXF” below

l “Using DXF in the Lifecycle of Designs and Content” on page 11

l “Is DXF the Right Tool for Your Integration Goals?” on page 13

1.1 Uses of DXF

DXF has several uses throughout a workflow that includes Exstream Design and Production.
You can use DXF to integrate Exstream with external systems in the ways described by the
following sections:

l “Importing Designs and Content Into Exstream at Design Time” below

l “Importing Designs and Content Into Exstream at Run Time” on the next page

l “Reusing Content from Exstream with Other Systems” on page 11

1.1.1 Importing Designs and Content Into Exstream

at Design Time
You can use DXF during design and deployment to integrate content from your other systems
with Exstream. The built-in Exstream converters for PDF, InDesign, Metacode, Quark, and
OGL (each available as a separate module) translate those formats to DXF for importing into
Exstream. If you maintain or create applications or designs outside of Exstream, or if you have
existing designs that you want to begin maintaining in Exstream, you can develop your own
external application to convert any other document or design format to DXF for import into
Exstream.

After you develop and configure an external converter and configure the associated application
in Exstream Design and Production, conversion tasks can be done on demand by users or as an
automatic part of your production process so that Exstream is fully integrated with your existing
systems. When you import a DXF file into a design, the DXF file is imported as Library and
design objects, which are editable just like other Library or design objects created directly in
Design Manager or Designer.

OpenText Exstream (16.4 Update 1) Page 9 of 740

DXF Reference
Chapter 1: Introduction to DXF

You can create DXF from complete designs that you might import as pages or documents, or
from smaller pieces of content that you might import as paragraphs or other Library components.
For example, suppose a marketing group in your organization maintains marketing messages
and stores them in XML for use in existing systems, and you want to personalize messages for
each customer. You can use an Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations (XSLT) file to
transform the messages to DXF. Then, you can import the messages directly into Design
Manager for use in the customer communications that you manage with Exstream, and the
messages can be personalized using variables, just as they could be if they were created
directly in Exstream.

All DXF elements listed in this guide are supported when importing DXF at design time.

For more information about importing designs into Exstream using the Exstream converters, see
Importing Designs in the Exstream Design and Production documentation.

For general information about importing content into Exstream at design time, see Importing
External Content in the Exstream Design and Production documentation.

1.1.2 Importing Designs and Content Into Exstream

at Run Time
As with other file types, DXF files can be imported at run time as part of the data and content
integration functionality in an application. But unlike most file types, which cannot be changed
by Exstream when imported at run time, DXF files can be manipulated in the same ways that a
design created directly in Exstream Design and Production can be. This capability allows you to
use an external application to change output from Exstream Design and Production and then
use that output in subsequent processing in Exstream Design and Production without packaging
a new application. For example, suppose that your marketing group creates and maintains
formatted product descriptions in XML. You can use XSLT to transform the content and
formatting into a DXF file. Then, you can import the product descriptions at run time so that they
retain their formatting and appear inline with text that was created in Designer. In addition, you
can include variables within the DXF so that the descriptions can be customized for each
customer during production as if they were originally created in Exstream Design and
Production. You can also change elements within designs, unlike PDFs that you might import at
run time. For example, if you want an imported form to have fields added for certain customers,
importing the form as DXF allows you to use rules to add or remove the fields just as you could
in a design you created directly in Exstream Design and Production.

To import DXF at run time, you must have licensed the Dynamic Content Import module. You
can use either a placeholder variable (for most applications) or a formatted text variable (when
using Live documents) to perform the run-time import.

Keep in mind that certain limitations apply to some objects when importing DXF at run time.

For more information about how specific objects are supported when importing DXF at run time,
see “Considerations for Importing DXF at Run Time” on page 55

For more information about placeholder variables or general information about importing content
into Exstream at run time, see Importing External Content in the Exstream Design and
Production documentation.

For more information about formatted text variables, see Designing for LiveEditor in the
Exstream Design and Production documentation.

1.1.3 Reusing Content from Exstream with Other

Systems
You can create DXF output from an Exstream application that allows you to reuse content in
your other systems. For example, suppose you want to display the customer forms you create
in Exstream in an existing Web application designed to display XML-based forms. Using the
XML (composed) output driver, you can produce DXF output from the forms created by your
Exstream application to display directly in the Web application. You can also transform the DXF
into any other XML language for use in any external application that uses XML content.

You can also "round-trip" content exported from Exstream, processing it with another system
and subsequently importing it back into in Exstream at either design time or run time.

The XML files you create with the XML (composed) output driver include all the page layout,
formatting, and all objects sent to the print stream (for example, images and pages).

You can use XML (composed) output to do the following:

l Interface with pre-existing XML-based Web-presentation systems.

l Use Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations (XSLT) to produce HTML or other

electronic output.

l Update XML-literate databases directly.

l Produce output that can be imported into QuarkXpress (through a QuarkXTension plug-in).

To use XML (composed) output, you must have licensed the XML (Composed) Output module.
XML (composed) output supports a subset of DXF elements. If you export DXF from Exstream
and subsequently import it back into Exstream after processing with an external application,
then all features supported by XML (composed) output will be retained in the imported objects.

For more information about the DXF elements supported by XML (composed) output, see
“Features Supported for XML (Composed) Output and DXF Exported from Design Manager” on
page 51.

For more information about producing XML (composed) output from Exstream, see Creating
Output in the Exstream Design and Production documentation.

1.2 Using DXF in the Lifecycle of Designs and

Content
A DXF file can be used in several ways at various points in an application process. The
following illustration shows the roles that DXF can play in integrating an Exstream Design and

OpenText Exstream (16.4 Update 1) Page 11 of 740

DXF Reference
Chapter 1: Introduction to DXF

Production application with your other business systems:

Diagram of the content lifecycle using DXF

Stage in lifecycle Description

External software or databases Other software or databases in your system are the initial source of designs or content that
you import into Exstream by using DXF. Alternatively, DXF itself might be stored and modified
by an external system.
At the other end of the cycle, DXF content that is produced as output from an Exstream
Design and Production application can be used directly in any XML-based external systems,
or it can be transformed or converted for use in systems that require other file formats.

Built-in converters The Exstream converters for PDF, InDesign, Metacode, Quark, and OGL (each available as
a separate module) translate designs in those formats to DXF for importing into Exstream.
The converters produce DXF files that you can modify and then import into Exstream
separately at design time.
For more information about importing designs into Exstream using the built-in converters,
see Importing Designs in the Exstream Design and Production documentation.

External custom converter or If you maintain or create content or designs outside of Exstream, or if you have existing
transformation designs that you want to maintain in Exstream in the future, you can develop your own
external application to convert any other document or design format to DXF for importing into
Exstream at either design time or run time.

OpenText Exstream (16.4 Update 1) Page 12 of 740

DXF Reference
Chapter 1: Introduction to DXF

Stage in lifecycle Description

Built-in DOCX transformation When importing designs or content in DOCX format, Exstream uses a built-in XSL
transformation ([Link]) to transform the DOCX content to DXF for importing. In
this case, the DXF file is temporarily created during the process of importing the DOCX
content at run time.
For more information about importing DOCX files, see Importing External Content in the
Exstream Design and Production documentation.

DXF file Using a converter or transformation produces a DXF file that can be imported into Exstream.
The DXF file can be fine-tuned before design-time import if desired. However, when
importing DOCX at run time, the transformation is executed during the import process.
Alternatively, you might store DXF directly in an external system for modification outside of
Exstream and subsequent importing directly into Exstream at either design time or run time.

Exstream Design and Production After you have a DXF file, you can import it directly into any Exstream Design and Production
application at either design time (using the Import DXF function in Design Manager) or run
time (using a DXF placeholder variable), depending on the content in the DXF file and your
business processes.
For more information about importing content into Exstream, see Importing External Content
in the Exstream Design and Production documentation.

Exstream Live You can also import a DXF file into LiveEditor using a formatted text variable for use in a Live
application.
For more information about importing formatted text in a Live application, see Designing for
LiveEditor in the Exstream Design and Production documentation.

XML (composed) output You can produce DXF output from an Exstream Design and Production application using the
XML (composed) output driver. The XML files you create with the XML (composed) output
driver include all the page layout, formatting, and all objects sent to the print stream (for
example, images and pages).
You can use this content directly in any XML-based external system, or the XML (composed)
output can be transformed or converted for use in systems that require other file formats.
For more information about producing XML (composed) output from Exstream, see Creating
Output in the Exstream Design and Production documentation.

1.3 Is DXF the Right Tool for Your Integration

Goals?
Although several other formats (such as RTF, DOCX, and tagged text) allow you to import
formatted text and images in Exstream, DXF provides more flexibility for importing and reusing
content because you can define objects that make up an Exstream Design and Production
application, as well as Designer objects such as shapes and charts, which can't be defined in
other formats. You can set up DXF content to have a clearly defined structure to fit readily into
an application, and you can then use and edit the imported objects as if they were originally
created in Exstream Design and Production.

OpenText Exstream (16.4 Update 1) Page 13 of 740

DXF Reference
Chapter 1: Introduction to DXF

Use DXF for your designs and content when any of the following conditions apply:

l Elements from a design or content imported at design time must be stored individually in the
Exstream design database.

l Designs or content have dynamic elements that must be changed at run time.

l Designs contain sophisticated graphical elements, such as shapes and charts.

l A method you might otherwise use for run-time import is not supported in your environment.

While DXF provides flexibility to work with external designs and systems, it might require time
and effort to develop the solution you need to complete your integration, and an alternative
solution might already be available. Before developing a comprehensive DXF solution, consider
the following alternatives:

If these conditions apply Consider this alternative

 Chapter 2: DXF Architecture Overview
Before you begin designing external applications that convert between other file formats and
DXF, it's helpful to have a general understanding of how the various design features of
Exstream Design and Production are described in DXF. This chapter explains basic structure of
DXF and the way DXF elements work together to describe Exstream content and designs. The
architecture information described here applies both to DXF converted from other file types and
to DXF contained in XML (composed) output created by Exstream.

This chapter discusses the following topics:

2.1 About DXF Architecture

DXF is based on Extensible Stylesheet Language Formatting Objects (XSL-FO), the W3C
recommendation for defining XML document presentation. DXF shares some elements with
XSL-FO, and it also includes many elements specific to Exstream designs.

The Exstream Object and Content Document Type Definition (DTD) defines the structure of
DXF. This DTD file, [Link], is located in the Exstream installation
folder.

A DXF file can represent one of the following Exstream Design and Production objects using the
corresponding root node:

To represent this item in Exstream Design and Production Use this element as the root
node of your DXF file

Page dlg:page

Document dlg:document

Section dlg:section

Component dlg:library-component

Application dlg:application

Formatted text variable (formatted as Composed XML (DXF) Content) dlg:dxf-text

For more information about using formatted text variables, see Designing for LiveEditor in the
Exstream Design and Production documentation.

When constructing DXF, it's helpful to understand the following general concepts:

l Elements can be nested in DXF to represent the hierarchy in the Library in Design Manager.
However, whereas nested objects are referenced in the Library, elements can be either
referenced or fully contained in the hierarchy of a DXF file. For example, a completed
application in Exstream Design and Production must contain a reference to at least one
document stored under the Documents heading in the Library. In DXF, the
dlg:application element can contain either a dlg:document element that describes
the actual document, or a dlg:document-reference element to provide a reference to a
document. This document could be either a dlg:document element located elsewhere in
the DXF, or a document object already stored in Exstream Design and Production.

l The name, description, and folder of each Library object is defined by a child dlg:basic
element.

l You can use components the same way in DXF as you do in Design Manager. After you
define a component using the dlg:library-component element, you can use the
dlg:library-component-ref element to reference that component.

l When you use DXF to import external designs, one DXF file can represent multiple pages in
a single design. The DXF file maintains information about each page so that when you import
the DXF file, each page from the design becomes a page object in the design database.

l DXF can contain binary information to represent images in JPEG or B&W TIFF
(uncompressed or CCITT Group 4 compressed) format, using the dlg:binary element.
Use the import-type attribute of the dlg:image element to specify the format of an
included image.

Keep in mind that not all DXF that is valid according to the Exstream Object and Content DTD
will function as expected when imported into Exstream Design and Production. For best results,
follow these best practices when developing custom DXF:

l Review the properties that apply to each Library or design object in Design Manager or
Designer.

l Whenever possible, export sample DXF for an object that is similar to the object you are
constructing in DXF.
For more information about creating a sample DXF file, see “Creating a Sample DXF File to
Help You Understand How an Existing Design is Constructed” on the next page.

Chapter 2: DXF Architecture Overview

l Thoroughly test any custom DXF using a test database that does not contain production
data or objects.

For a full description of the Document Object Model of DXF, see “DXF Document Object Model”
on page 21.

2.2 Creating a Sample DXF File to Help You

Understand How an Existing Design is
Constructed
In working with DXF, it can be helpful to understand the XML structure for existing Exstream
design objects. You can export a DXF file from the Library to see the structure for existing
objects that are similar to objects you want to import. Because DXF is XML, you can open the
file in any XML or text editor.

When exporting DXF, keep in mind the following considerations:

l Although most design objects are supported in DXF, certain objects with limited support
might not be exported fully.

l Some objects that are not part of the physical design, such as design groups, are not
supported in DXF and are therefore not exported.

l If you plan to import the sample DXF back into the design environment, you should first
make sure that the DXF contains all the expected objects and properties before overwriting
existing objects.

l If attributes in the exported DXF reference objects in the Library, the DXF can be imported
only into the same database in order for those for references to stay intact. Importing DXF
that contains such references into a different database at design time might create new
objects where referenced objects are missing, and the objects imported from the DXF might
need modification to function as expected. DXF that contains such references cannot be
imported into a different database at run time.

To create a DXF file from an existing design:

1. In Design Manager, in the Library, right-click a Library object that you want to export to
DXF.

2. Click Export to DXF.

2.3 About DXF Data Types

The value of each attribute of a DXF element is a specific data type. However, the data types
used for DXF attributes are not the same as the data types used for variables and other

OpenText Exstream (16.4 Update 1) Page 17 of 740

DXF Reference
Chapter 2: DXF Architecture Overview

components in Exstream Design and Production. The data types used within DXF are suited to
the role of DXF in describing content and designs.

The reference section for each element specifies the data type for the value of each attribute.

The value of each attribute is one of the following data types:

Data type Description Format

Boolean Specifies data that is true or true or false

false (Abbreviation: Bool)
Example:
<dlg:page page-duplex="false" …>
…
</dlg:page>

Color Specifies an RGB, CMYK, One of the following:

or ICC color
l rgb(RedValue, BlueValue, GreenValue), where values are 0
through 255
l cmyk(CyanValue, MagentaValue, YellowValue,
BlackValue), where values are 0 through 100
l rgb-icc(RedValue, BlueValue, GreenValue, ColorName),
where values are 0 through 255 and the color name specifies a library color
Example:
<fo:inline color="rgb(0,0,0)">
…
</fo:inline>

Coordinate Specifies a location or size The x-coordinate and units, followed by a space and the y-coordinate and units
using the format x y
Example:
(Abbreviation: Coord)
<dlg:paper-type size="210mm 297mm"/>

Date Specifies a calendar date yyyy-mm-dd

Example:
<dlg:campaign-run start-date="2010–01–01"
end-date="2010–12–31" … />

Enumerated Specifies a selection from a A text string that represents one of the available options. Available options for
specific set of options enumerated data are determined by the Exstream Object and Content DTD and are
(Abbreviation: Enum) listed in this guide for each attribute that uses enumerated data.
Example:
<dlg:barcode barcode-type="code128"
orientation="portrait">
…
</dlg:barcode>
<dlg:barcode barcode-type="upc"
orientation="landscape">
…
</dlg:barcode>

Data type Description Format

Integer Specifies a whole number Any integer value without thousands separators
less than 2,000,000,000
Example:
(Abbreviation: Int)
<dlg:table-of-contents num-levels="3">

Rect Specifies the coordinates of The following coordinates, including units, listed in the specified order, and separated by
a rectangular area spaces:
l y-coordinate of the top of the area
l x-coordinate of the left side of the area
l y-coordinate of the bottom of the area
l x-coordinate of the right side of the area
Example:
<dlg:page-frame rect="6in 3.625in 9.5in 8.125in" … />

Text Specifies a text string Any text string

Example:
<dlg:metadata name="author" value="John Smith" />

2.4 About Namespaces

DXF uses two namespaces, dlg and fo. The elements in the fo namespace are either elements
that are shared with XSL-FO or elements that are closely related to XSL-FO elements (such as
an individual element that uses a set of attributes combined from multiple XSL-FO elements).

OpenText Exstream (16.4 Update 1) Page 19 of 740

DXF Reference
Chapter 2: DXF Architecture Overview

The elements in the dlg namespace are unique to DXF and describe objects that are unique in
Exstream.

In some cases, elements in both namespaces might be used to define one object or part of the
document. For example, tables are defined using the dlg:table element, and rows and
columns within a table are defined using the fo:table-column and fo:table-row
elements.

For more information about individual elements, see “DXF Element Reference” on page 59.
Elements in both namespaces are listed together since they are used together to define
Exstream designs and content. The namespace is listed for each element.

2.5 Special Considerations for Specifying

Fonts
A DXF file can specify the fonts used in a design, but no fonts are embedded in the DXF. Thus,
you must install any font that is specified in a DXF file on the computer on which you will import
the DXF file in order for those fonts to be used in the design. If a font specified in a DXF file is
installed but is not in the database, Design Manager automatically imports the appropriate font
during import of the DXF file. If a font specified in a DXF file is not installed, Design Manager
automatically replaces it with a different font during import, which might change the appearance
of the design. The font names used in the DXF file must match those of the installed fonts
exactly.

If you want to use different fonts in an Exstream design from those used in the format from
which the DXF was converted, and you want to control the fonts substituted, you must either
manually edit the converted DXF, or include font substitution functionality in your custom
conversion tool. Such font substitution functionality is used in the PDF Converter module.

For more information about importing designs into Exstream using the existing converters, see
Importing Designs in the Exstream Design and Production documentation.

Using the same fonts as those in the original format provides the best fidelity in the converted
and imported design. Keep in mind, however, that font metrics for the same font might differ
slightly between computers or environments.

Also keep in mind that because DXF only describes the fonts used in a design and does not
replicate the embedded fonts, the licensing for fonts embedded in the format from which the
DXF was converted does not apply to the design in Exstream. You must therefore make sure
you have the appropriate licenses for fonts on the computer used for completing the design in
Exstream.

Chapter 2: DXF Architecture Overview

2.6 Using Special Characters

You must use character entities to represent special characters in DXF character data and
attributes, just as you would in any XML.

DXF supports all the standard predefined character entities used in XML:

Character entity Character Description

&amp; & Ampersand

&apos; ' Apostrophe

&gt; > Greater-than sign

&lt; < Less-than sign

&quot; " Double quotation mark

Additionally, DXF supports numeric character references using hexadecimal syntax, such as
&#x0D; (carriage return), &#xA0; (non-breaking space), or &#xAD; (soft hyphen). Supported
characters depend on the encoding of the file and the encodings supported by the environment in
which the DXF is used.

2.7 DXF Document Object Model

The diagrams in this section provide an overview of the overall structure in a DXF file.

The following two sections contain a series of diagrams that show different parts of the DXF
structure:

l “Root-Level Structures” on the next page—Each of these diagrams contains one of the
allowed root elements in DXF as the root node and is expanded to show available child
nodes. Some child nodes that are used in multiple locations in the overall structure, or that
are too large to show in the diagram, are not expanded; these nodes are expanded in
separate diagrams in “Reused and Large Structures ” on page 28.

l “Reused and Large Structures ” on page 28—Each of these diagrams contains a node that is
collapsed in one or more of the diagrams in “Root-Level Structures” on the next page, or in
another diagram in this section. That element is shown as the root node, expanded to show
the available child nodes. Keep in mind that each root node shown in this section is not a root
element in DXF but is used in multiple locations in the overall structure, or simply has a
structure too large to display in the higher-level structures in which it appears.

2.7.1 Root-Level Structures

The following diagrams show the expanded structure of the root elements allowed in DXF. Most
of these elements can also be used within other structures. For example, dlg:page can be a
root element, or it can be a child element of dlg:document, so it also appears in the structure
diagram for dlg:document.

Some elements that have children and that are used in multiple locations in DXF are not
expanded in the diagrams in this section. For expanded diagrams of those elements, see
“Reused and Large Structures ” on page 28.

 Chapter 3: Supported Features and
Considerations for Various Uses of
DXF
When you import DXF at design time, all elements in the Exstream Object and Content DTD are
supported. When you use DXF in other parts of your process, only certain elements and
features might be supported, and certain considerations might apply, depending on the way you
use DXF in your document process. You can use this chapter to determine which elements are
supported and the necessary considerations for your intended use of DXF.

For more information about different ways you can use DXF, see “Uses of DXF” on page 9.

This chapter discusses the following topics:

l “General Object Support in DXF ” below

l “Features Supported for XML (Composed) Output and DXF Exported from Design Manager”
on page 51

l “Considerations for Importing DXF at Run Time” on page 55

l “Considerations for Creating DXF with Converters” on page 57

l “Considerations for Importing or Exporting DXF with Live Documents” on page 58

3.1 General Object Support in DXF

Most of the Library and design objects used in Exstream Design and Production are supported in
DXF. However, some objects that are not part of the physical design, such as design groups,
are not supported in DXF. Only the objects that are defined in the Exstream Object and Content
DTD and listed in this guide are supported in DXF.

The following tables list the Library and design objects that are represented in DXF, along with
the related elements for each object.

3.2 Features Supported for XML (Composed)

Output and DXF Exported from Design
Manager
The XML (composed) output driver produces fully-composed DXF output, which allows you to
easily use output from Exstream Design and Production with business applications
manufactured by other vendors. You can manually produce similar DXF by exporting an object
from Design Manager. (However, DXF exported from Design Manager represents the design of
the selected object rather than the final output. For example, exported DXF might contain

OpenText Exstream (16.4 Update 1) Page 51 of 740

DXF Reference
Chapter 3: Supported Features and Considerations for Various Uses of DXF

variables, but since data is substituted for those variables during production, XML (composed)
output never contains variables.) The DXF files you create with the XML (composed) output
driver include all the page layout, formatting, and all objects sent to the print stream (for
example, images and pages), but not all DXF features are used.

For more information about exporting DXF from Design Manager, see “Creating a Sample DXF
File to Help You Understand How an Existing Design is Constructed” on page 17.

For more information about using the XML (composed) output driver, see Creating Output in the
Exstream Design and Production documentation.

3.3 Considerations for Importing DXF at Run

Time
DXF files imported at run time can be manipulated in the same ways that a design created
directly in Exstream Design and Production can be. However, certain considerations apply
when importing DXF at run time.

For more information about importing content into a design at run time, see Importing External
Content in the Exstream Design and Production documentation.

OpenText Exstream (16.4 Update 1) Page 55 of 740

DXF Reference
Chapter 3: Supported Features and Considerations for Various Uses of DXF

3.3.1 General Considerations for Importing DXF at

Run Time
The following general limitations apply when importing DXF at run time:

l Application-level elements, such as dlg:message and dlg:campaign cannot be

imported at run time. They must be imported at design time within a dlg:application
element.

l Rotated objects (including any design object that has any value other than 0 specified for the
current-angle attribute) are not supported.

l In DLF output, any DXF content imported at run time is read-only.

l If you are importing DXF content that contains images at run time, then the images must be
in JPEG or B&W TIFF (uncompressed or CCITT Group 4 compressed) format. Use the
import-type attribute of the dlg:image element to specify the format of an included
image.

l If the DXF DTD file, [Link], has been renamed or moved to a

different folder from the engine, you must use the EXSTREAM_DTD_LOCATION engine
switch to specify the location, name, or both for the DTD file.
For more information about the EXSTREAM_DTD_LOCATION engine switch, see
Preparing Applications for Production in the Exstream Design and Production
documentation.

l Importing DXF content at run time is not supported on the z/OS platform.

3.3.2 Considerations for Specific Elements When

Importing DXF at Run Time
All root DXF elements except for dlg:application and dlg:library-component-ref
are supported, with the following limitations for each listed element:

Element Considerations when in DXF imported at run time

dlg:application This element is not supported at run time. Application-level elements must be imported at design time.

dlg:binary The included image data must be in JPEG or B&W TIFF (uncompressed or CCITT Group 4 compressed) format.
Use the import-type attribute of the parent dlg:image element to specify the format of the included image.

dlg:document You can use a placeholder document to import a DXF file in which this element is the root node, but any
application-level elements, such as dlg:message and dlg:campaign, must be imported separately at
design time. You cannot use an inline placeholder variable to import the dlg:document at run time.

OpenText Exstream (16.4 Update 1) Page 56 of 740

DXF Reference
Chapter 3: Supported Features and Considerations for Various Uses of DXF

Element Considerations when in DXF imported at run time

dlg:dxf-text You can use an inline placeholder variable to import a DXF file in which this element is the root node, and any child
elements are also imported into the application at run time. You cannot use a placeholder document to import the
dlg:dxf-text at run time.

dlg:image Images included in DXF imported at run time must be in JPEG or B&W TIFF (uncompressed or CCITT Group 4
compressed) format. Use the import-type attribute to specify the format of the included image.

dlg:library- This element must be a child element of another supported element for import at run time. A DXF file in which this
component element is the root node cannot be imported at run time.

dlg:library- This element is not supported because the engine does not read the file in order to find the referenced library
component-ref component.

dlg:page You can use a placeholder document to import a DXF file in which this element is the root node. You cannot use an
inline placeholder variable to import the dlg:page at run time.

dlg:paragraph You can use an inline placeholder variable to import a DXF file in which this element is the root node, and any child
elements are also imported into the application at run time. You cannot use a placeholder document to import the
dlg:paragraph at run time.

dlg:section You can use an inline placeholder variable to import a DXF file in which this element is the root node, and any child
elements are also imported into the application at run time. You cannot use a placeholder document to import the
dlg:section at run time.

3.4 Considerations for Creating DXF with

Converters
You can use the Exstream converters for PDF, InDesign, Metacode, Quark, and OGL (each
available as a separate module) to translate designs in those formats into DXF for import into
Exstream. The following considerations apply when creating DXF with one of the converters:

l Certain features within each design format might not be supported by the corresponding
converter. Objects not supported by the converter or by the Exstream Design and Production
environment are converted differently depending on the converter you are using. If
necessary, you can remove or change unsupported features and objects in your original
design to maximize compatibility with DXF and Exstream.

l Some converters handle specific objects in such a way that they do not appear exactly the
same as the original after they have been converted and imported. You can make minor
adjustments to these objects in the DXF file before import or in Designer after import so that
they appear as they did before the conversion.

l One DXF file is created per legacy file, even if the legacy design has multiple pages.

For more information about converting existing designs and the features supported in each
design format, see Importing Designs in the Exstream Design and Production documentation.

Chapter 3: Supported Features and Considerations for Various Uses of DXF

3.5 Considerations for Importing or Exporting

DXF with Live Documents
The following general limitations apply when importing DXF into a Live document:

l Variables used to import DXF content into a Live document cannot be pre-populated during
the initial engine run to create the DLF file. They can be populated only in LiveEditor.

l When you export DXF from a Live document using a formatted text variable, revision
tracking and commenting are not included.

l To import DXF content into a Live document using a formatted text variable, you must use a
reference file or an initialization file.

l To export DXF content from a Live document using a formatted text variable, you must use a
report file or a reference file.

For more information about creating Live documents and using formatted text variables, see
Designing for LiveEditor in the Exstream Design and Production documentation.

 Chapter 4: DXF Element Reference
You can use this chapter as a reference of all elements used in DXF. Each element section
contains information about how the element is used to define content or part of a design in DXF.

Only limited information about the role of any Exstream Design and Production objects that are
defined by each element is included in this chapter. For more information about how particular
Library or design objects are used in an application or design, see the related guide in the table
below.

In the attribute tables in the following sections, attributes are assumed to be optional, unless the
descriptions specify that they are required.

This chapter is divided into the following sections according to element types:

4.2 Design Elements

Design elements represent content in a design, such as text, images, shapes, tables, and
charts.

Keep in mind that some design elements use the fo namespace. The elements in the fo
namespace are either elements that are shared with XSL-FO or elements that are closely related
to XSL-FO elements. For more information about namespaces in DXF, see “About
Namespaces” on page 19.

Also keep in mind that many elements in this section use either the shared design object
attributes or the shared XSL-FO attributes. Each element that uses one of these groups of
attributes contains a cross-reference to the appropriate section.

For the list of shared design object attributes, see “Shared Design Object Attributes” on
page 622.

For the list of shared XSL-FO object attributes, see “Shared XSL-FO Attributes” on page 637.

For more information about the design objects that are represented by elements in this section,
see Designing Customer Communications in the Exstream Design and Production
documentation.

4.2.9 chart-overlay (dlg:chart-overlay)

The dlg:chart-overlay element represents the overlay added to a bar chart, floating bar chart,
stacked bar chart, or scattergram chart. A line chart can be overlaid on a bar chart, stacked bar
chart, or floating bar chart, and a label (scatter) chart can be overlaid on a scattergram chart.

Note: In Exstream versions 9.5.201 and later, the functionality of the floating bar chart has
been merged with that of the stacked bar chart. The floating bar chart type is still supported
for the import of legacy DXF files, and for exporting to DXF from a legacy design containing
floating bar charts. If you edit and save an existing floating bar chart in Designer, it will be
automatically converted to a stacked bar chart with overlay, and any new export to DXF
from that point forward will contain the stacked bar chart type.

To use the dlg:chart-overlay element, the chart-type attribute of the parent dlg:chart
element must be either bar, floating-bar (Legacy), stacked-bar, or scattergram, and the
overlay-flags attribute must be 1.

4.2.15 container (dlg:container)

The dlg:container element represents a container in a container-based design. The
dlg:container element does not actually contain the elements that define the lower-level
containers, spacers, and design objects within the container. Instead, the dlg:contained-
ref child element is used to reference a container, spacer, or design object defined within the
design page. Since the objects are still contained within the design page, you can define a page
design and container design for the same objects.

For more information about container-based designs, see Designing Customer Communications
in the Exstream Design and Production documentation.

4.2.24 image (dlg:image)

The dlg:image element represents an image design object, an empty image design object, or a
Live image selector object.

To define an empty image object, specify true for the is-empty-placeholder attribute.

For more information about using images and empty image objects, see Importing External
Content in the Exstream Design and Production documentation.

For images in Live documents, a dlg:live child element is used to define the basic Live
properties of the image object. However, some attributes of the dlg:image element itself apply
only when using the image in a Live document, as indicated in the "Attributes" table within this
section.

To define an image selector object for use in a Live document, include an appropriately defined
dlg:live child element, and specify the following attributes for the dlg:image element as
appropriate:

l height

l picker-variable

l picker-caption-variable

l picker-selections-variable

4.2.45 tab-ruler (dlg:tab-ruler)

The dlg:tab-ruler element defines custom tab rulers for a page, and custom tab rulers and
list-related properties for individual text paragraphs (not Exstream paragraph objects) defined by
fo:block elements.

You can define tab rulers for individual fo:block elements in two ways:

l Identify a dlg:tab-ruler within the fo:declarations element for the page using the
tab-ruler attribute of the fo:block element.

l Define the tab ruler directly within the fo:block element.

Keep in mind that you must use a separate dlg:tab-ruler element for each fo:block that
represents a separate item in a numbered list. Even when auto or never-restart is specified
for the user-set-number attribute, you must set the number of the list item using the number-
value attribute.

4.4.11 index-level (dlg:index-level)

The dlg:index-level element represents a level in an index and defines the font and spacing
properties for the index level.

A dlg:index-level element should be included for each level anticipated in the index, including
headings (even if both custom and alphabetical index headings are disabled). Since three index
levels are supported, up to four dlg:index-level elements can be included. If the value
specified for the num-levels attribute of the parent dlg:index element is greater than 0, there
typically should be one more dlg:index-level element than that number, in order to account
for headings and all specified levels.

The order of dlg:index-level elements determines the index level associated with each
element. The first dlg:index-level element is always associated with headings, even if both
custom and alphabetical index headings are disabled. The second is associated with first-level
entries, the third is associated with second-level entries, and the fourth is associated with third-
level entries.

4.5.1 campaign (dlg:campaign)

The dlg:campaign element represents a campaign Library object.

The messages in the campaign can be fully defined using dlg:message child elements, or
referenced using dlg:message-use child elements. The order of these elements determines
the order of the messages used in the campaign.

Some of the attributes of this element limit the customers to whom the campaign is sent. Keep
in mind that all of the conditions defined by those attributes apply at the same time. For
example, if a rule is specified for the usage-rule attribute, and if-respond is specified for the
target-activity attribute, and true is specified for the in-file attribute, then the campaign
is sent only to customers for whom the specified rule is true, who responded to the previous
campaign specified by the campaign attribute, and who are in the list in the reference file
specified by the if-in-file attribute.

The dlg:barcode-use element defines an instance of a barcode in a design.

Although an instance of a barcode in Designer references a barcode Library object, DXF does
not currently allow referencing an existing barcode Library object. Instead, the barcode must be
defined using a child dlg:barcode element. If you want to duplicate an existing barcode
Library object, you can export the barcode object from Design Manager and copy the resulting
dlg:barcode element.

4.8.6 page-side (dlg:page-side)

The dlg:page-side element specifies on which side of the page or in which multiple-up (MUP)
frame each barcode that controls the inserter appears.

If you use multiple barcodes with a single inserter, you must include a dlg:page-side element
for every dlg:barcode element within the same dlg:inserter element, and the order of
the dlg:page-side elements and dlg:barcode elements determines which dlg:page-side
element is associated with each dlg:barcode element. That is, the first dlg:page-side
element within the dlg:inserter element is associated with the first dlg:barcode element
within the dlg:inserter element, the second is associated with the second, and so on.

4.9 Shared Attributes

The attributes listed in this section apply to more than one element. For each DXF element that
uses shared attributes, you-ll find in the reference section for that element a cross-reference to
the appropriate group of shared attributes.

This section covers the following groups of shared attributes:

l “Shared Design Object Attributes” on the next page—This group of attributes applies to most
design objects. These attributes specify many of the settings that appear on the Dynamic
Size and Placement, Lines and Fill, and Accessibility tabs of the object properties, as
well as a few other settings that are common to most design objects.

l “Shared XSL-FO Attributes” on page 637—This group of attributes applies to many elements
in the fo namespace. These attributes specify table, font, and paragraph properties.

l “Shared XSL-FO Attributes Not Used in Exstream” on page 648—This group of attributes
contains those that are specified by the Exstream Object and Content DTD for many
elements in the fo namespace but are not currently used in DXF.

 B.6 Attributes for the floating-bar (Legacy) Chart

data-label-font-face
Type
data-label-font-italic
Note: In Exstream versions 9.5.201 data-label-font-size
and later, the functionality of the
floating bar chart has been merged frame-rect
with that of the stacked bar chart. The
frame-x
floating bar chart type is still supported
for the import of legacy DXF files, and frame-y
for exporting to DXF from a legacy
grid-color
design containing floating bar charts.
If you edit and save an existing grid-style
floating bar chart in Designer, it will be
automatically converted to a stacked grid-weight
bar chart with overlay, and any new has-shadow-color
export to DXF from that point forward
will contain the stacked bar chart type. label-color
