In addition to combining forms and data, the API can:
- Fill data into single or multi-page Acrobat PDF forms (AcroForms)
- Flatten forms—remove the active field and stamp the field contents directly onto the PDF document
- Supports Extensible Markup Language (XML) to specify form field data
- Process multiple forms using one field data file
- Saves as Fast Web view (Linearize)
- Saves Encrypted with document permissions
In addition, a FormInfo data file can be used with the API to dynamically customize PDF forms:
- Partial Form Flattening—selectively flatten the entire form, or specify individual fields to flatten
- Format text fields, including font, point size, alignment and color
- Additional support for fonts—specify font information for form fields
- Individual field Font Color using Grayscale, RGB or CMYK Colors
- Individual field Character Spacing, Word Spacing and Line Spacing
- Individual field Justification and Crop
- Individual field Border and Background Visibility
- Individual field Border and Background Color using Grayscale, RGB or CMYK Colors
- Unicode to place Chinese, Japanese or Korean (CJK) data in form fields
- Stamp PDF Pages from Multi-Page PDF files onto any form fields
- Stamp JPEG or TIF images onto any form fields
The library provides the same high-level forms functionality available in Appligent’s industry-leading FDFMerge server application.
