We have a number of converters available. You can check out our list at www.rjssoftware.com or call me at 952.898.3038

Our AFP to PDF converter also converts to TIFF first - this is a very common technique - after all, an AFPDS spooled file suggests there will be graphics involved. But the need to convert only the graphics and have otherwise the text searchable is an interesting one. I'll pass on the idea.

Otherwise, we have a converter for SCS to PDF that makes searchable PDFs.

I did not know this solution. I'll check it out.

I tried AFPTOOL in the past, and it did a good work, but had also some
limitations.
IIRC, it does a AFPDS to TIFF conversion. So in the outputted pdf text
is changed into graphics.
And I want to avoid that for this application.

Best regards,
