Image Module

The Image Module takes AS/400 spools, and saves them in one of 57 different graphics formats. Converting spools to images means that the data cannot be manipulated, and can be opened using standard graphics programs and web browsers. Image-based storage also makes it possible to import documents into Data Warehouse applications.

Common Applications

• Data Warehousing - the Image Module can export bitmapped files directly to the data warehouse, even while the hardcopy is being printed. This eliminates the need to manually scan the printouts.
• Internet publishing - saving to GIF or JPEG allows you to publish enhanced AS/400 spools directly to Internet servers. This makes it easy to display online "authentic" documents, such as invoices and insurance policies. It can also be used to display foreign languages, when readers may not have the necessary fonts installed.

Benefits

• Compatibility – Papirus supports all popular graphics formats, making for trouble-free importing into other applications, such as data warehousing, CAD and image banks.
• Security - documents created by the Image Module are un-editable and cannot easily be copied, because the information is stored not as letters and words, but as pixels in an image.
