FormTrap applications, while simple and easy to use, are advanced and therefore you will need to spend time learning the theory and concepts.

The design process typically involves the following steps:

• Create a new project and then add a new form to the project.
• Design your form layout, creating objects and defining page elements.
• Capture representative print line data from your host application. Ensure one multi-page document is included.
• Use the FormTrap Repaginator to simplify your Print Line mode data to more easily design your form. (This step is only applicable in Print Line mode.)
• Map the Print Line mode data to your forms when using Print Line mode.
• Test the form using FTPreview.
• Build the project to generate the load (.asc) file.
• Design and add the rest of your forms to the project.
• When test results are satisfactory add or update the load (.asc) file to the production environment.
