Dear customers,
We are going to build a new product named Aspose.Pdf.Form.
1 Pdf form and its application
1.1 What is Pdf form : Like an HTML page, a PDF document may contains an interactive form (sometimes referred to as an AcroForm) made up of various form fields such as text boxes, checkboxes, radio buttons, drop-down lists, pushbuttons, etc., for gathering information from the user.
1.2 Mailmerge from an Database: A common task in many offices is to publish a newsletter or mailing and send it to customers , for example, filling in the name and address of each customer and inserting a date into a mailing letter. All personalized letters will be gathered in a single PDF document so it can be printed.
1.3 Invoices with master/detail relation: Based on a template pdf document, you can make an invoice for each order and gather all the invoices for each customer in a new separate document. The new invoice can be sent to clients at last.
2.Basic pdf form access API
2.1 Reading function : read all fields of the pdf and their properties such as type(TextBox, RadioButton, CheckBox, ComboBox), readonly and so on.
2.2 Writing function: writing function includes two points:
1) create new fields when creating a new pdf document.
2)fill the form: fill the fields of the existing pdf document. Of course this funciton needs reading the fields from the existing pdf document at first.
3 A GUI development tool for pdf form-filling
We expect to develop a tool to ease the development of the form-filling project. It will only need the user set some arguments like the existing template pdf , the data source(database, structured file ,and so on), and the relation of the fields and the data source.
I welcome you guys to request features in this forum for the Aspose.Word.Suite.
