- frevvo' Pixel Perfect PDF generation feature is supported in both the Form and Workflow Designers.
- frevvo uses a web-based mapping scheme where the designer can map form fields to PDF fields within the visual context of the PDF.
- You will need an "acroform" to generate a pixel perfect PDF. Acroforms (also known as Acrobat forms) are forms that contain writable fields.
- You can generate as many PDFs as you like.
- You can use the Step 5-FormViewerControlForm Viewercontrol to allow users to view the mapped PDF from within the form itself.
...
If you cannot find an acroform to use, use a tool like PDFescape to create a PDF with writable fields. Refer to the mapping rule guidelines in the PDFFormGenerationRules table below.

The tool that Adobe uses to create PDF's may not always support integration with third party software like frevvo. |

Designers should give Group Controls meaningful names whenever possible to help differentiate them when using the Step 4-MaptheLiveFormfieldstotheacroformfields Mapping Form Outline.

The generated PDF are read-only by default, meaning the fields you mapped from frevvo cannot be changed on the published document. Choose Generate as fillable form to keep all fields in the final document editable, including any fields that contain mapped data. This would be useful if, for example, an Office Use Only section of the PDF would need to be completed after the workflow is submitted.

When viewed with the Step5-FormViewerControl form viewer control, mapped PDFs are always read only. This ensures they are viewable on mobile devices. |

The quickest way to map your PDF is to use the drag-and-drop method, but if you need to MappingTableandRepeatControls change an index for a table or repeat control, the Mapping dialogue must be used. You can change mapping choices on the Method2-ClickingonaPDFField Mapping dialogue as well.
Open the PDF Mapper

- Drag form fields from the Mapping Form Outline and drop them onto the PDF fields. The color of the hovered field will be changed slightly to indicate that the drop can happen there. If the mapping complies with the PDFFormGenerationRules PDF mapping rules, then the PDF field is filled in with the name of the control and colored green to indicate that it is mapped. Non-mappable control types can be dragged, but you will not be able to drop them on any PDF field.
- Repeat for all fields on each page of the PDF template.
- Click Done when finished and remember to save your form/workflow.
...
The mapping is done when the user selects one item in the frevvo radio corresponding to the selected radio option. The items/options are matched to value/option, not label, of the control. Only one selection is supported. See PDFFormGenerationRules PDF Form Generation Rules for more information.
Note the Selectable Values from the mapping status are on the option value (left) side of the equal sign.
