Title :	Document application profile PM-26 for the interchange of 
	mixed content documents in processable and formatted forms

Study Group : VIII - Terminals for Telematics Services

Version : New

Date of adoption : 1991

Notes :	


Recommendation T.505 is the definition of an ODA document application 
profile (DAP) named PM-26. This profile is suitable for interchanging 
documents in formatted form, processable form or formatted processable 
form and has been defined in accordance with CCITT T.411/ISO 8613-1. 
The format of this profile is in accordance with the standardized 
proforma and notation defined in CCITT T.411/ISO 8613-1 Annex F.

This profile specifies interchange formats for the transfer of 
structured documents between equipment designed for word or document 
processing. Such documents may contain character, raster graphics and 
geometric graphics content.

The documents that can be interchanged using this profile range from 
simple documents to highly structured technical reports, articles and 
typeset documents such as brochures. This profile provides a 
comprehensive level of features for the transfer of documents between 
these systems.

This profile allows documents to be interchanged in the following 
forms:

	-   formatted form;

	-   processable form;

	-   formatted processable form.

The architecture levels defined for these three forms have matching 
functionalities so that the interchange formats of a document are 
convertible from a processable form to any other form.

This profile is independent of the processes carried out in an end 
system to create, edit or reproduce documents. It is also independent 
of the means to transfer documents which for example, may be by means 
of communication links or storage media.
