ElectronicFormJobSample

The sample workflow prints some jobs by combining electronic forms with data and other jobs by using preprinted paper:

• The [1] Electronic branch of the workflow sends jobs with Electronic in the name of the PDF file through the CombinePDFWithForm step, which combines the electronic forms with the data. The jobs then go to the CountPages step.
• The [2] Preprinted branch sends jobs that do not have Electronic in the name of the PDF file directly to the CountPages step. Those jobs bypass the CombinePDFWithForm step and are printed on preprinted paper.

The Preprinted Forms Replacement feature supplies an ElectronicFormJobFolder sample hot folder and two sample jobs that work with the ElectronicFormJobSample workflow. The ElectronicJob.pdf sample job goes through the [1] Electronic branch, and the PreprintedJob.pdf sample job goes through the [2] Preprinted branch. After the jobs reach the PrintJobs or RetainCompletedJobs step, you can view the jobs to see the result of combining electronic forms with data.
