• Spell-check documents and generate sample test data while designing forms. Using the sample test data, you can
then generate a PDF preview or print directly to a target printer.
These features were designed for use with Output. Forms and documents created with these layout features can be
rendered or printed in a variety of formats without compromising the design intent.
Supported document formats
Using Output, processes can merge XML data with forms or documents created using Designer to produce documents
in a variety of formats:
• PDF final form documents for viewing and printing in Adobe Reader or Acrobat
• PDF archive documents in PDF/A-1b and PDF/A-2b
• PostScript and PCL documents for direct printing to monochrome and color laser printers
• ZPL for direct printing of documents to Zebra label printers
• IPL for direct printing of documents to Intermec label printers
• DPL for direct printing of documents to Datamax label printers
• TPCL for direct printing of documents to Tec Toshiba label printers
Using Output, you can also generate documents in a wide range of languages, including those that use Western and
Eastern European, Asian, and Middle Eastern character sets.
Controlling print features
Using Output, you can leverage and control the specific capabilities of the printers you use to generate printed
documents. Using XDC Editor, you can edit existing XML Forms Architecture Device Configuration (XDC files),
create new ones, and map media to specific paper trays.
You can generate documents that access the following features of laser printers:
• Duplex printing
• Specifying which input and output paper trays to use
• Resident fonts
• Stapling and copying.
You can generate PDF documents that automatically open a print dialog box in Adobe Reader or Acrobat. You can
also generate PDF documents that are preconfigured to specify duplex printing and the number of copies to be printed
on a default or specified printer.
Generating flexible documents
Output provides flexible document generation. You can generate the following types of document:
• A single document from a specific Designer template
• A batch of documents from a single template
• A batch of documents, each from separate files by using a single Designer template.
Using this flexible generation capability, you can also leverage fragments in document output. You can generate a
document package that uses multiple Designer templates. For example, a mortgage application can contain numerous
sections. Some of them are customized for the client by using specific templates for interactive forms and fragments.
Others are standardized by using dynamic PDF documents. The final generated output is a single cohesive document.
