FormAssembler was specifically designed for document production systems. For sophisticated PDF form-filing solutions that include complete control over the output form-fields, please see FDFMerge. |
FormAssembler is a dynamic form assembly and data merging application. Designed to generate high volumes of fillable PDF forms. FormAssembler output can be fully or partially filled PDF forms with single or multi-record data.
FormAssembler's unique support for Form Data Format (FDF) Templates allows it to assemble multipage forms from a base set of individual form pages, automatically adjusting field names as pages are assembled.
Support for FDF Templates and enhanced file compression make FormAssembler the best choice for mass assembly and delivery of multi-page forms.
Form Processing Features
- Fill data into conventional Acrobat PDF forms. Designer/XFA forms are not supported.
- Dynamically generate multipage forms while avoiding field-naming conflicts
- Combine and rearrange multi-page forms on the fly
- Dynamically generate new pages as required
- Flatten field content directly into the document (for selective flattening, see FDFMerge)
- Fill-in Option arrays for pick lists and combo boxes
- Include JavaScript actions in fields
- Set individual field flags
- Place external PDF files on button fields
- Process multiple forms using only one FDF Template file
Output Processing Features
- Incorporate covers and other pages to produce polished reports
- Include new document information including title, subject, keywords, date or other metadata
- Apply 40-bit or 128-bit file encryption. Set a user password to control who may view, print, or modify a document.
- Linearize output PDF files for Fast Web View for faster access and viewing when downloaded from the Web or a network
Integration Features
- Supports PDF 1.2 and above
- Call from any programming or scripting language including (but not limited to) Perl, PHP, Java, C++, ASP & .Net, Visual Basic, Cold Fusion and Lotus Notes
