"My company wanted a multistage workflow where acceptance forms would get signed-off and forwarded to the next level of review. FDFMerge's FormInfo feature gives us the detailed control over the form-state that allows us to flatten some fields, change colors on others, and make it much more efficient." - Dieter S., V.P., Sales |
The world's first commercial server application for filling PDF forms. FDFMerge has made it easy to programmatically populate, control and flatten PDF forms for quick delivery to end users since 1998.
With over 11 years of development and implementations in the most demanding applications, FDFMerge 6.0, now repowered with Adobe's PDF LIbrary, is engineered to meet mission-critical on-demand and high-volume form-filling needs.
A complete application with thousands of installations worldwide, FDFMerge is known to be entirely mature, completely reliable and extremely easy to use from within any development or scripting environment.
