The FORMDEF EXPLORER tool is a program to display binary AFP formdef resources and convert into PPFA text.

FormDef Explorer

  • helps you to understand the contents of a binary formdef resource by representing it in a human-readable format.
  • provides for comfortable navigation and search facilities in a complex formdef resource by means of a contents pane.
  • gives you a detailed view in hex to get at the bits.
  • can recompile a binary formdef resource into PPFA text for further processing with your layout tools.
This feature is not available in the demo version except for the included samples.
