The APF exporter is a PR enabling the export of GATE-style annotations into the APF (Ace Pilot Format) required for ACE, in order to make user of the ACE evaluation tool, for example. Simply place the exporter at the end of an application and set the parameters appropriately. In some cases (depending on the particular version of ACE tools) there are some attributes such as SOURCE which need to be added to the exported file, for the evaluation tools to work properly. If in doubt, use the default parameters.
