jPDF TEMPLATE

Do you sometimes wish you could replace an image or hide a page in an unfamiliar database report? Would you like to prevent others from altering your carefully crafted documents? There is no longer any need to feel like you’re a captive of the bells and whistles of unfamiliar templates.

With jPDF Template, a Java component, you can create, edit, fill in and delete form fields in a PDF document, enabling you to create PDF forms dynamically. Template offers precise control in laying out database reports using custom PDF templates.

FEATURES

CREATE/EDIT/CHANGE FORM FIELDS

Form fields are dynamic elements that can be easily updated without rewriting the complete document structure. Users often depend on them to create dynamic online reports.
jPDF Template can create, edit and change a form field's values and attributes directly in the PDF structure. You can dynamically change border colors, line style, fonts, etc.

jPDF supports all Adobe widgets and doesn't need the use of an FDF file, namely:

Radio buttons
Check boxes
Text fields (single line and multi-line)
Input fields
List boxes
Combo boxes
Buttons

Unlike other products, jPDF Template knows how to change the appearance of fields. Appearance generation becomes especially handy once you need to serve PDF online. Using a tool that knows how to generate fields ensures the best possible rendering quality.

FLATTEN FORM FIELDS

You may wish to flatten a document to make it impossible for someone else to modify its form fields. With jPDF Template, the form field appearance is in-lined directly into the page content structure while being unregistered from the document, thus preventing any future modifications.

REPLACE IMAGES AND EXTRACT TEXT

jPDF Template can dynamically replace any document images. Install your favorite file format codec and load TIFF, JPEG2000, GIF or JPEG images directly onto the page of your choice. Our product can insert anything based on awt.Image.

MANIPULATE PAGES AND ACTIONS

With jPDF Template, you can move or hide documents. What’s more, Template can read, create and change actions associated with form items such as buttons, input fields, documents and links. (Actions are little programs triggered when an event is raised. Typically, actions are activated by pushbuttons, links, the opening of documents, etc.)

So, whether its manipulating pages or actions, Template offers unique features not available with any other product.
