AFP Printer Driver for Windows

AFP Printer Driver for Windows installs a virtual printer that allows users to create AFP overlays, documents, page segments, and medium overlays from any Windows application that supports printing. After you print your document to the AFP Printer, you will be prompted by a Save As dialog to specify the name and location of the AFP file to be generated. If you wish to bypass the dialog, you can simply make the AFP Printer work in the server mode.
