AFP is a control stream to the printer starting with x'5a' in column 1. All the 
rest is text andsearchable.

Is AFP searchable?

I haven't a PCL printer to try.  I expect it to work fine if the PCL printer

Even as AFP works if the writer for the PCL printer writer is AFP-savvy.

And PDF is more commonly supported than AFP.  IBM distributes the z/OS

Is AFP searchable?
