Can you recommend a tool for creating AFP Resources, like FormDefs?

Hi everyone.

I have a customer who is looking to create AFP data streams from text output from an AS/400.  Creating an overlay (ie, the pre-printed form) from a TIFF is straightforward -- but creating the other components like FormDefs and PageDefs seems to be a little more complicated.

What utilities do you use to create these resources?

  I use IBM's PPFA for pagedefs and formdefs and OGL for overlays

Thanks for the reply.  I also posted this question on LinkedIn -- here's a link to that thread:

In summary, here are the products I found:

  • Elixir's DesignPro Tools AFP
  • ISIS Papyrus Designer
  • Ricoh (formerly IBM Printing Systems) PPFA
  • HP Exstream Dialogue


I'll add others to this list as I discover them.
