FormTrap
 

Executable location is the location of formtrap.exe (Print Logic) used to format incoming data.
 

To format documents, FTSpooler uses the formatting engine "FormTrap" (also referred as Print Logic). Users should not change the FormTrap location under normal circumstances, but may when different versions of Print Logic are involved, or where an earlier version of Print Logic is stored for troubleshooting or compatibility reasons.

To change the Executable of FormTrap, click the ... button to browse and select the new location.

For troubleshooting purposes it is sometimes necessary to redirect error messages from FormTrap to a file. The checkbox Log FormTrap screen is used. The file formtrap.txt is created in USER_PROFILE\Application Data\TCGIS directory. Keep this option off in normal circumstances.

Default Formatting Options allow users to specify specific formatting preferences for the forms being processed by the queue.
