Apache FOP AFP to XML conversion

Question

I am looking for a Java API that provides functionality that will convert AFP(IBM Advanced Function Presentation)formatted documents to xml or pdf. I am trying to implement Apache FOP 1.1, but there is hardly no implementation documentation with regard to AFP's and there are no tutorials or examples, anywhere. I would sure appreciate any direction with regard to this endeavor.

Answer 1

Apache FOP supports producing AFP. It does not provide any functionality to process existing AFP files. As for converting AFP files to other formats, Compart has very good tools in that area.
