-In iDocs 6.93, you can also use a png file in lieu of the pcl file detailed above.  When Map Fields using Map Type 5 are being used the software will first look for a pcl file, if it does not find it then it will look for an applicable png file.  If it does not find a matching file, then no image will appear. Unlike the pcl file naming convention, the png file does not need a prefix 'm' in the file name. +In iDocs 6.94, you can also use a png file in lieu of the pcl file detailed above.  When Map Fields using Map Type 5 are being used the software will first look for a pcl file, if it does not find it then it will look for an applicable png file.  If it does not find a matching file, then no image will appear.
