These are the products we offer for server-based PDF stamping, merging, form filling — includes
watermarking, date stamping, page numbering/Bates numbering, FDF, XFDF.
|
These products are programmer's libraries/toolkits (APIs) that make it easy to create a
system that stamps and merges
information into PDF files automatically. Applying headers, footers,
page numbers, Bates numbers, and watermarks are just some of
the more common uses of these products.
You can use these products to create an automated
"book-building" system
that creates customized books on the fly!
Note that these products
support a variety of platforms, including
AIX, AS/400, HP-UX, Linux, Mac OS X, Solaris, and Windows.

ExpressPublishing Server is server-based PDF-document-assembly software that
automates PDF manipulation and enhancement.
A document can be assembled from multiple documents.
Tables of contents, bookmarks, and indexes can be modified; information can be added
(page headers & footers, watermarks, page numbers/Bates numbers, etc.); individual pages
or page ranges can be extracted.
|
Integration and communication methods.
If you're not a programmer, use ExpressPublishing Server's hot folders (watched folders)
to set up your document-assembly workflow.
If you're a programmer, you can achieve tighter integration and do more-advanced
things with
SOA architecture, SOAP-compliant messaging, XML job tickets, SMTP e-mail.
|
Stamping.
Add PDF watermarks, headers, footers, page numbers,
Bates Numbers, HTML overlays.
You can specify positioning within document
and on page.
Automatic adjustments for page sizing.
Hyperlink references are automatically created.
Document assembly.
Merge multiple documents into one and automatically
adjust hyperlinks, bookmarks, and tables of contents.
Split PDF Documents into multiple volumes,
automatically inserting slipsheets and tabs while
adjusting hyperlinks, bookmarks and Tables of Contents.
Intelligent document splitting based on preconfigured
rules.
Electronic hyperlinks are converted to page numbers
in split volumes.
Appending.
Append documents automatically with bookmarks,
tables of contents, and indexes.
Automatic adjustments can be made based on
changes to the document.
Integration and communication methods.
Hot folders (watched folders, SOA architecture, SOAP-compliant messaging,
XML job tickets, SMTP e-mail,
For even more flexibility when creating
customized/personalized documents, you might want to consider our
variable-data-printing/publishing solutions.
They are more versatile than ExpressPublishing Server, and they are somewhat easier to use.

OCR on specific regions of a page
(a process known as "Zonal OCR") and extract the recognized data
into XML files for further analysis.

FDFMerge is a command-line application
that makes it easy for a programmer to write routines that
populate form fields on a PDF form
with text, bar codes, JPEG images, TIFF images, and
individual pages from PDF files
and save the completed form on a
server.
Powered by the
Adobe PDF Library,
FDFMerge also does cropping; controls text color and justification;
controls word spacing, character spacing
and line spacing; uses bar-code fonts;
linearizes and encrypts the completed files, and much more.
Command-line interface: simple yet powerful
The command-line interface is simple yet powerful. A command-line statement can be
invoked in many different environments, with many different programming languages,
including object-oriented languages such as Java, .NET, and Visual Basic.
Sample code is available — contact us to request sample code for your
programming language.
|
Adobe Acrobat not required
FDFMerge is a stand-alone application. You don't need to have Adobe Acrobat installed
to use FDFMerge.
Support for multiple platforms
FDFMerge is available for AIX, HP-UX, Linux, Mac OS X, Solaris, and Windows.
AS/400 is supported under IBM UNIX System Services for AIX.
|
To use FDFMerge, you start with a collection of PDF forms.
What is a PDF form?
A PDF form is a PDF file that contains form fields. To create a PDF form, you need a
commercial version of the Adobe Acrobat software. (The free Adobe Reader software will NOT work.)
Instructions that come with the Adobe Acrobat software tell you how to create the form fields.
Basically the procedure entails opening a PDF file in Adobe Acrobat
(typically this PDF file would contain text and graphics); then
drawing boxes with your mouse and assigning properties to the
boxes. For example, if you need form fields that will contain a phone number and
e-mail address,
you'd use Adobe Acrobat to draw two boxes, and (again using Adobe Acrobat) you could
assign the name "Phone" to one of the boxes and assign the name "Email"
to the other box.
Once you've created all your PDF forms, put them on your server.
Now write your script
You'll write a script that tells FDFMerge to grab a particular
PDF form from your server and create multiple new versions of it by inserting textual data and/or graphics
into the form fields in that PDF form. The result will be a collection of new PDF files containing
filled-in form fields.
Your script can include instructions
for using specific fonts, font sizes and colors for text; setting other typographic
propertie for text (alignment, word spacing, line spacing, etc.); setting properties for
backgrounds and borders of form fields; flattening
some or all of the form fields; encrypting the new PDF files; and more.
|
- Populate PDF form fields with text, bar codes, JPEG images, TIFF images, or pages from PDF files.
- Merge pages from PDF files onto active form buttons.
- Add JavaScript to form fields.
- Linearize (optimize) for fast Web viewing.
- Encrypt output PDFs with passwords to control who can view, modify, and print them
and who can copy text & graphics from within them.
- Form flattening: remove active form fields, embedding field content
directly into the document. This can be done with all the
fields or just the fields you specify.
- Unicode support.
- Typographic control: specify font name, size, color,
character spacing, word spacing, line spacing.
- Formatting control for field borders: specify width and color.
- Formatting control for field backgrounds: specify color or transparent.
- Set the output-file version for ISO 32000 compliance (Adobe PDF Vesion 1.7).
- Stand-alone operation (does not rely on Adobe Acrobat).
FDFMerge is available for the following operating systems:
AIX
5.2 & above
AS/400
Supported under IBM UNIX System Services for AIX
HP-UX
11i & above (Itanium)

FDFMerge Lite is a command-line application that
makes it easy for a programmer to write routines that
populate form fields on a PDF form
and save the completed form on a server.
Unlike the more-expensive
FDFMerge product,
FDFMerge Lite does not support partial form flattening,
does not have the more-sophisticated formatting features of
FDFMerge, and does not allow you to populate form fields with graphics
(though it does allow you to merge pages from PDF files onto active buttons).
Powered by the
Adobe PDF Library,
FDFMerge Lite is a robust PDF-form-filling solution for simple forms workflows.

FormAssembler is a great choice for mass assembly and delivery
of multi-page forms in environments where throughput is of
utmost importance.
Output can be fully or partially filled PDF forms with single or
multi-record data.
