AFP2RTF Transform Server enables users to batch convert AFP documents IBM MO:DCA (AFP, IOCA and PTOCA) to RTF (Rich Text Format), a format fully compatible with Microsoft Word document (.DOC), via input and output folder. Unlike other software solutions simply rasterizing the AFP document to full-page images, AFP2RTF Transform Server maintains all document objects such as graphics, searchable text, tables and live forms, uniquely within the generated RTF files for easy access by other applications.
