Theory & Decisions
Overview
FTDesign allows professional looking documents to be formatted and designed in a GUI interface much like those which are found in many of today's word processing software packages. Use color, frames, images, barcodes and many other graphic elements to create a good looking document.
Substitute your own company address and demographics, either based on the input data or from simple text files so you won't need to change forms if you change your address or add a new division. Make objects print conditionally - based on tests of the input data or comparisons on input data. Use masking to present data as you'd like to with address or other details strung together in sentences with superfluous spaces removed, or as words replacing amounts or as special masking with constants surrounding your data. The next few pages will show you how to do this and more with FormTrap.
