Advanced Function Printing (AFP) is a document format and presentation architecture originally developed by IBM to drive its printers and support the production of variable data printing on laser printers, and later provides for document and information presentation independent of specific applications and devices.
AFP Printer is a professional application designed for creating high-quality, industrial-strength AFP documents, page segments, and overlays out of almost any Windows application. The software installs as if it were a real printer, making the creation of AFP files as easy as printing.
