When you design FormTrap forms with FTDesign, you create
objects and arrange them on a page. Objects are the building
blocks of a form and may include text, barcodes, lines, boxes,
ellipses and pictures. You can format these objects to suit your
needs and arrange them with the tools in FTDesign.
Objects can be of two types:
- Constant objects represent a value that
is the same each time the form is printed. Constant objects
may be a company logo or a return address that is the same
on each page of your form. Lines and rectangles are also
considered constant objects.
- Variable objects obtain their values
from the print stream. These are the place holders for
fields in the data you want to print on the form. Variable
objects also control the appearance of the data by
formatting it with font styles or even displaying data as a
barcode.
