Introduction

Form Builder and Form Runner can produce PDF output in two ways:

• Automatic
  • The PDF is produced based on the appearance of the form in your web browser. This is similar to printing a read-only version of your form.
  • As a form author, you do not need to take any action to enable this mode.
• Template-based
  • You upload a PDF file using the Upload PDF dialog in the toolbox. At runtime, Form Runner fills-out Acrobat fields in the template.
  • This mode is automatically enabled for a form if a PDF template is attached.
  • For more, see PDF Templates.

Availability

• Automatic PDF generation is available in Orbeon Forms CE and PE
• Templates are an Orbeon Forms PE feature.
