Hi Bill

I googled for something or other and got this page - https://afpdriver.com/AFPUserGuide/index.html?ibm_afp_workbench_viewerhtm

It has a link for the viewer - IBM AFP Workbench Viewer Standalone application - to download, and some other resources. I don't know if they are free.

You can still get the AFP print driver that lets you create images in things like Word and Visio and print to a file that you can upload to the IBM i, to use with things like the CRTOVL command.

Good luck - Google is very likely your friend.

Hello all,

I will soon be having the need to update some of our AFP documents. Since in our environment this is a pretty rare occurrence, it hasn't happened for quite a while. I recall the last time I had to make mods to an overlay we had the heritage iSeries Navigator which had the AFP workbench viewer. Given that now that is Navigator for i and is web-based, what is the current thinking on the best way to go about making mods to AFP overlays? All input is appreciated!

Bill
