Instead of printing all your output, Interform enables you to generate a wide range of PDF formats. All PDFs created are fully searchable and can be archived or routed through your output workflows automatically.
Interform Intelligent Output Management natively supports PDF, PDF/A-1b, and PDF/A-2b. PDF/A-3b is supported through the AdvancedPDF module. PDF/A ensures accurate long-term reproduction by embedding everything required to render the document consistently, such as fonts, colour profiles, and images.
PDF/A is the recognised archiving standard in many countries. The AdvancedPDF module also offers features such as embedded files and PDF security.
AdvancedPDF provides enterprise-level PDF capabilities for ERP systems and other connected applications. While many organisations already use electronic documents, few maximise PDF’s full potential.
With AdvancedPDF, you can:
The possibilities are extensive.
Apply form fields to PDFs quickly and easily. Choose from text fields, checkboxes, drop-down menus, and more.
Fillable PDFs offer an efficient way to standardise data collection across systems — ideal for contracts, confirmations, tax forms, vendor registration, events, returns and more.
Encryption and password protection prevent unauthorised access to sensitive PDF output.
Interform uses standard PDF Encryption 1.4 (Version 2, Revision 3) with 128-bit RC4 encryption and MD5 hashing. Password protection is managed using a Master and a User password.
Digital signatures are replacing physical signatures in many regions. Countries such as Germany, Poland, Brazil, Spain, and Italy have their own regulations governing qualified digital signatures.
Interform also supports PDF-based electronic invoicing by allowing structured XML to be attached inside the PDF when required by local legislation.
Ensure your PDF output is legally enforceable by applying PKCS#12 (.pfx) certificates with x.509 support. Some hardware or software requirements may apply.
With AdvancedPDF, you can embed files directly into PDFs from any platform. This allows you to send a single attachment containing all required information.
Content matching can be automated, removing manual search work and enabling faster customer service.
Typical examples include attaching a copy of unpaid invoices to a reminder, adding transaction documents to an account statement, or including product sheets or terms and conditions with a quotation.
AdvancedPDF enables you to merge multiple PDF outputs into one structured document.
Examples include:
