Systems and methods are provided for indexing in Advanced Function Presentation (AFP) systems. One embodiment is a system that includes a memory and a controller. The controller is able to load Advanced Function Presentation (AFP) print data, to identify AFP objects within the print data, to correlate the AFP objects with contextual information describing the AFP objects, and to insert the contextual information for the AFP objects into AFP Object Container Data (OCD) structures within AFP Index Elements (IELs) of an AFP index. The memory is able to store the index.
