Turn unformatted or simply formatted
EBCDIC or ASCII line data into versatile, AFP™ electronic documents.

Save the time and expense of changing application programs in order to enhance formatting of application output intended for printing on AFP/IPDS™ printers. Simple EBCDIC or ASCII line data can be flexibly re-formatted using the capabilities of PPFA.

Where more flexible, dynamic documents are required, advanced PPFA formatting capabilities, including floating record formats, unformatted records with identifying headers, invocation of images, overlays and graphics using variable names in the application, and special page layout functions for XML data can be used.
