MegaForm

Professional multi-platform electronic forms

MegaForm provides a multi-platform solution to turn raw printer or data files into high quality professional electronic forms.

Producing high-quality business forms is a fundamental part in the professional presentation of your company. The content must always be correct, but the presentation is just as important in determining how your contacts perceive your organisation. All too often your applications fail you by not by not providing you with the easy and flexibility you need to create printouts that project your image.

MegaForm is the easy way to escape limitations in your application. It provides a quick, programming-free method of preprinted forms with fast, high quality, laser-printed forms, with no or minimal modification to existing applications. And you benefit from the huge opportunity for savings in the efficient printing of electronic stationery and colour as well as monochrome business forms.

MegaForm can generate many different types of documents, from invoices to packing slips, from the same data while allowing distribution options such as e.g. remote printing, e-mail and fax.

How MegaForm works

Electronic forms are created based on the Corporate Design, using the drag-and-drop, WYSIWYG layout and graphics capabilities of MegaForm. These include the static and conditional integration of graphical, and fixed as well as dynamic data elements. 

Spool data from existing applications are remapped to the new electronic forms - just one small movement with the "mouse".

The electronic forms are implemented by dynamically formatting ASCII or Unicode data, merging from other sources as necessary, controlling conditions and bundling from different platforms. MegaForm also performs calculations and validations, and uses its own high performance drivers to produce print jobs optimised for the best use of your existing printing functionality and network infrastructure.
