AFP to PCL Converter

AFP to PCL Converter allows users to quickly convert AFP documents IBM MO:DCA (AFP, IOCA and PTOCA) to PCL and PCL-XL. Unlike other software solutions simply rasterizing the AFP document to full-page images, AFP to PCL Converter maintains all document objects such as graphics, searchable text, tables and live forms, uniquely within the generated PCL or PCL-XL for easy access by printers and other applications.
