Tool to get fonts used in afp file

Question

Does anyone know how can we get the fonts used in an Afp file .

I have tried Afp explorer , but it's not helping.

Please provide some suggestions on this.

Answer 1

I use this one: Extract_Afp_Resources

USAGE:

extract_afp_resources.exe -i input_file [-o output_file] [-r resource_dir] [-l] [-v] 

Explanation of options:

-i     input_file The input AFP file from which to extract resources
-o     output_file Output AFP created without resources. This argument is optional.
-r     resource_dir Directory into which resources are to be extracted.
-l     List mode. Inline resources are listed but not extracted.
-v     Verbose mode

Answer 2

Use afpviewer tool http://www.compulsivecode.com/project_afpviewer.aspx

• Open your AFP in above tool.
• Goto File option.
• Goto Extract resources option. It will list you all the resources include fonts, overlays and PSEG's etc. If your resources are embeded, you'' be able to extarct them also.

We write C Program to list or extract any resource from AFP.

Answer 3

TallPine provides an AFP evluation tool call PageMapper https://tallpine.com/products/afp-developer-tools/. This tool lets you look at an XML version of the AFP file in a multitude of ways. You can extract your resources as well.

There are some other ways that might be easier by pulling them from the libraries from where the AFP is generated/spooled.
