PTOCA Viewers and Image Conversion

Snowbound Software offers powerful support for IBM’s Image Plus formats including PTOCA and IOCA elements of MO:DCA.  The MO:DCA format is most commonly used by government agencies, banking, finance and insurance companies to archive standard forms and other records.

• Our RasterMaster imaging SDK allows you to build viewing, conversion and over 140 other expert imaging functions securely into your custom applications to support PTOCA files.
• Our powerful FlexSnap document and image web viewer enables you to view, convert, manipulate, annotate, and print PTOCA files through a standard Web browser. Because our FlexSnap viewers are developed from our robust Java imaging SDK, they support all of the file formats offered in our Java library. With FlexSnap you have the ability to view multiple document and image formats, including PTOCA, through a universal viewer.
• SnowBatch, our batch conversion application, provides you the capability to perform rapid batch conversion right from your desktop or server.  The easy-to-use interface will enable you to quickly convert all your PTOCA files to formats suitable for viewing or storage.

What is PTOCA?

Presentation Text Object Content Architecture (PTOCA) is the data layer used to hold customer information. PTOCA files can be single or multi-paged, but are always used in conjunction with MO:DCA.

Important: As we all know document and image specifications are intentionally loosely written and rarely updated. As a result many applications create documents “incorrectly” and they do not adhere to the latest specifications.

In order to maintain the highest ethical standards and help provide customers with the most positive user experience, Snowbound Software recommends that, as part of your purchase process, you test your own sample documents against our products.  Snowbound, unlike most competitors, develops its own technology. If in the rare case you come across a problem or non-conforming document or image, we can often fix it.
