You say that these forms will be sent to insurance companies. Is there a standard in Canada like there is in the U.S. that produces acceptable forms? In the U.S. we have ACORD. It is the insurance standard industry and actually produces the forms for all states. We pay a membership fee to ACORD for using and redistributing the forms (since they can change frequently). ACORD produces the forms in many different formats and will be making fillable pdf forms available in September. Up to now we received the pdf forms and had to add the fillable fields to them ourselves using Acrobat. You simply send the data to the pdf in an xml file which we do now from our VFP app and launch the pdf form in Adobe Reader on the user's workstation. Adobe also has a new product called Form Designer which is not the same as the Acrobat product and allows you to fully create the form from scratch, add the fields, connect to backend databases, etc. If you are only using it to design the forms and you pass the data via an xml file than you don't need the server version. The server version is only needed if you set it up like a server with an inhouse backend to populate the form fields with. If you pass the values to fill the fields instead to the already existing form, then you only need the designer to create the form to begin with.



>Hi,

>A client of mine has used Delrina Form Flow (old product) to replicate some very complex forms required by insurance companies. These forms were too complex to reproduce in Foxpro. They would now like to upgrade to something that would allow them to pass data from VFP to these forms (the previously re-entered the data - it was set up about 8 years ago).

>Delrina was bought by JetForm and then Jetform somehow is now an Adobe product. Adobe has a server product that would allow me to send xml data to the server that would then be merged into the forms template and then printed (for signing and mailng to the insurace co.). Only problem is, Adobe server is $9,000 US and this is being used by a 2 person office - I don't think I have a hope in heck of getting them to go for that.
