Templates for PDF
iText strategies for the mass production of documents based on templates: two user stories presented by iText customers.
There are different ways to create high volumes of PDF:
- You can create the PDFs from scratch (the program is the template)
- You can fill out PDF forms based on AcroForm technology (the template is static)
- You can use an XML-based format as a template (XSL:FO, XHTML and CSS, custom XML)
- You can use a dynamic XFA form (the XML Forms Architecture)
In this session, we will give the floor to two of our customers, one that uses the core iText to create documents, one that uses XFA Worker, a tool built on top of iText.
Project for Carpass: PDF templates from Data
By Koen Dehaen, Roots Software
Koen Dehaen will explain how his team of specialists realised the rendering of Car-Pass Certificates by using the core iText libraries.
He will demonstrate how you can complete a standard PDF template with data; how you can flatten it; how you can save it with a minimal file size; and how to create a QR-code.
Everything you should know to get started with iText in 20 minutes.
