The software enables PC users to convert AFP to PDF files by dropping AFP files into a hot folder and obtaining the conversion result in Adobe PDF (Portable Document Format) in an output folder. It's a server based product, and you can share the input hot folder and the output folder as a network shared folder for your client users.
