Lesson plan
Raster Document Object
The .RDO (Raster Document Object) file format is the native format used by Xerox's DocuTech range of hardware and software, that underpins the company's Xerox Document On Demand (XDOD) systems. It is therefore a significant file format for the print on demand market sector, along with PostScript and Portable Document Format. RDO is a metafile format based on the Open Document Architecture (ODA) specifications: In Xerox's RDO implementation, description and control information is stored within the RDO file, while raster images are stored separately, usually in a separate folder, as TIFF files. The RDO file dictates which bitmap images will be used on each page of a document, and where they will be placed.
