Recently, I was given a task to do R&D on AFP(Advanced Function Printing) with no prior data. During my online search I was able to find that AFP ia a IBM tool for generating statements and managing them. Can anyone help me with any open source API, converting pdf to AFP format or information regarding AFP? Any help would really be appreciated. AFP to PDF Converter allows users to quickly convert AFP documents (IBM MO:DCA, IOCA and PTOCA) to searchable PDF in batch on Microsoft Windows. Although it is a proprietary standard, a number of vendors have solutions available which can be used to allow Alfresco to index the content of AFP files or convert these to other formats such as PDF. PDF to AFP Converter is a simple-to-use software program which enables you to create AFP files from PDF documents, as the name says. It comes packed with advanced settings for experienced users.

What you need to convert a AFP file to a PDF file or how you can create a PDF version from your AFP file
Files of the type AFP or files with the file extension .afp can be easily converted to PDF with the help of a PDF printer.
A PDF printer is a virtual printer which you can use like any other printer. The difference to a normal printer is that a PDF printer creates PDF files. You do not print on physical paper. The PDF printer prints the contents of the source file into a PDF file.
In this way, you can create a PDF version from any file which can be printed. Just open the file with a reader, click the 'print' button, choose the virtual PDF printer and click 'print'. If you have a reader for the AFP file, and if the reader can print the file, then you can convert the file to a PDF.
The FREE and easy to use PDF24 PDF printer can be downloaded from this page. Just click on the 'download' button to the right of this article to download the PDF24 Creator. Install this software. After the installation you will have a new printer device registered in your Windows system which you can use to create a PDF file from your .afp file or to convert any other printable file to a PDF.
Here’s how it works:- Install the PDF24 Creator
- Open your .afp file with a reader which can open the file.
- Print the file on the virtual PDF24 PDF printer.
- The PDF24 assistant opens, where you can save as a PDF, email, fax, or edit the new file.
Alternative way to convert a AFP file to a PDF file
PDF24 provides several online tools which can be used to create PDF files. Supported files are added on a rolling basis and maybe the file type AFP is also already supported. The converter service has different interfaces. Two of them are the following:

There is also the PDF24 E-Mail PDF Converter which can be used to convert files to PDF. Simply send an email to the E-Mail PDF converter service, attach your AFP file to that email, and a few seconds later you will get a PDF file back.
