UNIVERSE Software GmbH, Neuss, has announced=20
Version 4 of pdf-FormServer, a software solution=20
for saving filled out PDF forms complete with=20
content. This software will allow all PDF form=20
users to print out and save any kind of PDF form=20
complete with data entered by the user for=20
further processing in three different formats,=20
depending on the intended purpose.

Up to now, Adobe Reader only allowed PDF forms to=20
be filled out on the screen and printed; however,=20
there was no way of saving the form with the data=20
entered up to now. pdf- FormServer allows users=20
save PDF forms together with content, which can=20
be reopened, altered and saved again at any time.=20
The form fields remain interactive; the content=20
can always be edited.

Even complex data entries can be accessed again,=20
edited, or altered, without changing the actual=20
structure of the PDF. The form itself remains=20
unalterable -- the way it should be with a PDF=20
form to keep its authenticity, as pdf-FormServer=20
fulfils the PDF/A archiving standards.

There will be three formats available for saving=20
that can be individually selected depending on=20
the further intended use of the form. A form can=20
be saved as a PDF, FDF, or -- new -- X/FDF=20
(structured XML).

These options allow not only classical form=20
handling; FDF and X/FDF data can be=20
electronically processed by direct export into a=20
database, for example, allowing computer analysis=20
of a large number of forms.

The software is available in three versions --=20
single workstation, intranet server or web=20
version for unrestricted use on the Web.

A free demo version is available for download at=20
(http://www.pdf-office.com/). The=20
single-workstation version costs =A433 including=20
VAT. Updates and support services are included in=20
the price.

Programmed completely in Java, the software is=20
available for Win95, 98, 2000, NT, XP and Mac OS=20
X platforms.
