AFP2PCL Transform Server enables users to batch convert AFP documents IBM MO:DCA (AFP, IOCA and PTOCA) to PCL and PCL-XL via input and output folder on Microsoft Windows. Unlike other software solutions simply rasterizing the AFP document to full-page images, AFP2PCL Transform Server 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 PCL compatible printers and other applications.
