Hi,

Ultimate Forms' Print component allows you to print out your items in the layout and format of your own design, helping you create and distribute documents with ease. One of the most important features is the ability to generate PDF and MS Word documents, two of the most important document formats in the world today.

We've been offering these features for a very long time now. Today we are happy to announce that we are rolling out a number of improvements, some of them based on the direct customer feedback.

Word templates

Although the ability to upload your own Word template files to be filled out by the component is not new, we are now extending the use of these templates to PDF conversion as well. So when your print template contains a Word template and you are using Convert to PDF button, it will first internally generate a Word document from the template and then convert it to PDF. It's very simple and effective, especially for non-technical users, anyone can create a Word document!

Embedded attachments

Previously we allowed only PDF attachments to be embedded (inserted) into the generated PDF documents. Now we support Word, HTML and a variety of image formats, including DICOM and CAD. No additional configuration is required, it will just work!

Conversion throttling

We no longer limit the number of PDF conversions you are allowed to perform each day.

Word generation

When generating Word documents without the use of a template file, the generated document is much more advanced now, with header/footer handled separately and page number tokens respected. Watermark handling is also greatly improved.

Note that all this applies to Print Actions as well, not only when the Print component is used directly.
