Hi
I am trying to locate a unix utility to convert AFP files to readable text format
There are plenty of windows tools, but I need a unix equivilant.
Can anyone help?
Sample Windows tool that works:
AFP To Text Converter 2 2 Download page - AFP To Text Converter Shareware Download
I have a HP UX environment or Solaris 9 environment that I can use to convert these files.
Thanks
What is an AFP file? Can you provide a sample?
Hi
Afraid only sample I have contain confidential data
They are similar to PDF, when they are in afp format they are unreadable.
I need to convert them so I may search them:
The link in first post gives you idea what afp is but if you haven't come across it then maybe you can't help.
Parse::AFP - search.cpan.org from http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/AFP_Conversion looks like something you could turn into a perl AFP utility.
afp to pdf preserves appearance and acroread can search all files in a directory for you very nicely: http://download.cnet.com/AFP2PDF-Transform-Server/3000-18497_4-75544655.html

I guess AFP is an ibm counter to PS and PDF.
OOOH! AFP to HTML: http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/AUDREYT/Parse-AFP-0.25/script/afpdump.pl
Hi
thanks for the suggestion, I had problems getting the necessary perl modules working.
In the event I found a demo windows tool (urgh) that includes a command line afp parser that did the trick.
The afpdump.pl looked to be search friendly, but I understand -- setting up PERL libraries is a new area for many. Well, any port in a storm!
