File Formats: AFP Formats

The AFP format is part of IBM's document imaging system. It is a raster format, created to add enhanced formatting and indexing capabilities to documents for print applications in finance, retail, insurance and other industries. LEAD provides support for the user to open MODCA/PTOCA or AFP/PTOCA documents.

This format is used by IBM plug in.

This file format does not support stamps or Lossless JPEG compression, but it does support multi-page files.

LEADTOOLS supports methods that let you set the DPI for the opened image file. Please refer to the PTK Options.
