JetForm Electronic Forms System for Alpha AXP Platform HIGHLIGHTS o Eliminates need and expense of preprinted stationery, allows for electronic creation and modification of forms o Data access to VAX or Alpha AXP network o Enables storing, distribution, and remote printing of completed form in PostScript PRODUCT DESCRIPTION JetForm, developed by the JetForm Corporation, based in Ottawa, Canada, provides for a complete forms development, management, and production system. Electronic forms can be produced and used to collect, store, share, and retrieve information for everything from insurance claims and job applications to invoices and shipping labels. JetForm, only available in Europe at this time, also prints in all fonts supported by Digital printers. JetForm removes the need for preprinted forms by allowing the generation and maintenance of forms inhouse, resulting in a highly productive and cost effective forms environment. The JetForm environment consists of four specialized products that work either independently or together, depending on user requirements: o JetForm Design -- A full featured, PC based electronic forms design and fill software product using MS-Windows. (See SPDs 55.37, 55.38.) o JetForm Filler -- Provides a data entry capability. (See SPDs 55.39, 55.40.) o JetForm Merge -- Allows users to merge variable data contained in files created by host applications with forms. (See SPD 55.41.) o JetForm Server -- Enables access to client/server forms capabilities from any remote application on the network; allows the user to automate the entire process of data collection and the merging/distribution of that data within an electronic form. (See SPDs 53.37, 55.43, 55.44.) BENEFITS o Eliminates the need for expensive preprinted forms. o Allows the user to design, modify, and change forms. o Allows the search and retrieval of all databases resident on the network to enable data to be sent to the form automatically. o Enables the local or remote printing ability of the electronic form anywhere on the network. o Forms can be stored and modified from the PC.
