Once data is captured into a database from
a PDF form, the data is separate from the PDF. This is fantastic
for reusing the data, but not what a human may wish to look
at. Often, it is useful to view records in a PDF for printing
or re-submitting.
FormRouter offers a plug-in for Microsoft® Access database
to make this a snap.
Step 1:
Build a PDF form
Once a document in converted into a PDF,
it then can be edited in Adobe® Acrobat. FormRouter provides
live Internet based instruction and written documentation
with every account to get you up to speed.
Step 2:
Build an e-mail alert (optional)
Included in every FormRouter account is
an alert builder. One of the alerts offered is an E-mail alert.
Step 3:
Capture responses to a database automatically
FormRouter’s client tool can automatically
write online form responses securely into database or Microsoft
Outlook.
Step 4:
Extract a record into a PDF for viewing, printing or re-submitting
FormRouter offers a plug-in for Microsoft
Access database that automatically extracts records into PDF
forms.
Advanced User Note: as long as the field names match between
the database and the PDF form that is being opened, the record
will populate the form. This is a powerful tool if you have
one record set and need to populate data into multiple forms
for printing or submitting. Forms that are opened can even
be pulled up from the Internet.
