DocForm - Forms Creation and Management Software

How It Works

DocForm easily accepts your current host system's existing print or data stream and dynamically reformats the data into compelling and powerful documents, forms, and reports.

Customized form overlays, easily and quickly designed with DocForm, are applied to the data as it is received. The document/form can then be printed either automatically or manually on any printing device. It can also be sent out via fax or e-mail, or output to PDF and TIFF formats.

The plug-and-play design of DocForm allows easy configuration and installation. Save time and reduce costs by using the DocForm document designer.

Easy-to-Design Customized Documents and Forms

DocForm has an intuitive, easy-to-use drag-and-drop interface that allows for the quick design of professional business documents, forms, and reports that improve communications with your customers, partners, and employees.

Quickly give your documents the look and feel you want by easily changing fonts, colors, and drawing elements. Add graphics, logos, and data from outside applications and databases for even more appeal. Review and proof your merged documents onscreen prior to printing.

Both local and remote personnel can easily and quickly design documents and forms. Your remote users have the same design power of DocForm by utilizing the very low cost DocForm Designer module. This module allows any remote user to design his/her own document or form and submit it for printing or distribution by the DocForm server.

Convenient side-by-side viewing of the raw data next to the designed form provides easy reference as you design your document or form. No need to switch from one window to another.

Your documents and forms are also easily changed once designed.

Variable Data Printing

Manage diverse and complex data with DocForm. The input filters standardize the incoming data formats so that you can efficiently use your existing data streams.Dynamically modify floating data or data overflow so that your documents always match what you designed. DocForm is the scalable, robust solution to handle all your variable data printing needs.

Powerful Conditional Processing

Realize the full power of DocForm with its easy-to-use conditional processing features that allow you to create conditional tests and business rules that add intelligence to your documents and forms.

Print special messages when certain conditions are met; route the finished document to different printers or distribution methods based upon selected criteria; these are just a couple of the near-infinite number of conditional scenarios you can create.

The power of the conditional processing can be accessed two ways. First, for the casual user, graphical wizards easily guide you through the most popular conditional scripts. Second, the advanced power user has direct access to scripting through JavaScript (JScript).

Establish specific trigger conditions to dynamically repurpose content so that a single input data stream can be distributed ("bursted") to multiple destinations. The data stream can be reformatted, on-the-fly, into Postscript, PCL, PDF and TIFF for print, e-mail, archive, COLD, fax, and routed to other applications.

Efficient Document Distribution

DocForm is a powerful tool for distributed printing. Dynamically print to any device on the network. Utilize your printers native print drivers and specify advanced print finishing features such as duplexing, stapling or saddle stitching. Save time and reduce costs associated with bursting, collating, sorting, organizing and manually distributing documents.

You can easily route documents across the building or around the world. Remote and local print, fax, save to file, save as a PDF, and e-mail all your complex documents and forms.

Easy Metacode Translation

The MetaFormConvert module seamlessly and easily translates your existing Xerox Metacode forms for use within your DocForm project. Once translated into a native DocForm template you can easily edit, update, modernize, and deliver - all without having to redraw your existing Metacode forms.

DocForm works easily with your existing host system and requires no costly reprogramming.
