AFPviewer

AFPviewer, as the name suggests, can help users view AFP or AFPDS files, short for Advanced Function Presentation Data Stream, a specific IBM printing and imaging type of format. Not only can you view these very specific files, but the app also allows for them to be converted to a more universal array of file types.

While the application might not look like the most modern of all tools out there, its functionality certainly compensates for the lack of beauty. All functions are neatly spread among the available drop-down sections in the upper half of the program window. A zoom selection area can also be seen, making it easy for all individuals to adjust the ratio to a satisfactory level.

Procedures allowed by the app include copying parts of the text or the whole thing, cutting images, or finding specific snippets, all depending on your final goal. Adjustments to the spot colouring aspect can be done without many problems. Margin lines can be set as needed, reconfiguring the contents of the opened file in seconds.

The main file you'd probably want to change your submitted document to would be PDF, seeing as it is as universal as one particular file type can get. For this to happen, one will have to set a couple of things beforehand. Other adjustments can be done in connection to the slideshow aspect integrated into the program. TTF font map can also be calibrated to fit your needs.

AFPviewer is not the type of product that will have a huge user base. This is mostly because of its niche operational level, dealing with a very specific file type that won't be used by too many people out there. Regardless of this fact, the program manages to offer exactly what is advertised, increasing productivity for the few that will need its services.
