AFP Vector Graphics and Legacy AFP Shadings

Fully supports AFP GOCA vector graphic drawing.

Supports legacy lines, boxes and shading patterns LED, SCREEN and STANDARD.

Able to transform AFP legacy shading pattern to a solid grayscale color, user specifying specific color, optimized PDF pattern, or still in AFP legacy pattern, with small and high-quality PDF streams.

PDF Splitting, Bookmarks, watermarks, static images, and overlays

Splits PDF document by the AFP page-group level indexes or IBM generic indexes, able to suppress blank pages.

Generates the PDF page-group level bookmarks by AFP indexes or IBM generic indexes.

Supports text watermark, and BMP, GIF, JPEG, PNG, TIFF, AFP page segment image, AFP overlay, AFP page, and PDF page, as the watermark, static image, and static overlay, able to present the company logo in the high-quality vector graphic format with small PDF file size.

GUI Tools

Imports the resource list and AFP font list from the AFP file, to assist you to define the resource substitution and font mapping quickly.

Quickly defines the resource mapping from the legacy bitmap images, and overlays to the new colorful vector/bitmap images, or overlays in the text and graphic modes.

Quickly defines the font mapping from the legacy AFP bitmap/outline fonts to the OpenType/TrueType fonts.

Quickly defines the font typeface, size, style, and color of the text watermarks.

Quickly defines the image watermarks, static images, and overlays
