ARTS PDF Variform Plus  
 
 
1.0 INTRODUCTION 
 
Welcome to personalized printing with Adobe ® Acrobat ® forms and ARTS PDF 
Variform Plus™ by ARTS PDF™. 
 
ARTS PDF Variform Plus extends Acrobat forms and overcomes restrictions that limit 
their usability. 
 
Acrobat forms were designed with web server-based applications in mind. So for anyone 
to consider an Acrobat forms application, this immediately brings to mind a significant 
“forms project” and trying to enlist the help of IT or MIS department. Such prospects are 
either beyond the reach of most individuals, difficult to implement given organizational 
constraints, beyond available budgets, or achievable in the next decade. 
 
ARTS PDF believes that there are literally millions of private databases. These exist in 
the form of word processing documents, spreadsheet files, PC databases, and even 
custom query results from large databases. 
 
Adobe’s Acrobat forms plug-in allows virtually any PDF document created from virtually 
any desktop application to be turned into a variable data form.  But please remember 
that the term “form” is used in the general sense. It can include multi-line blocks of text.  
The definition is only restricted by our imaginations. 
 
Combining the freedom of independent Acrobat forms design and ARTS PDF Variform 
Plus’s local access means that general usage of Acrobat forms can be extended to 
individuals, small or home offices, small businesses, self-employed professionals, 
branch offices, corporate departments, membership organizations, etc. 
 
1.1 Product 
Highlights 
 
ARTS PDF Variform Plus provides a set of tools for managing and printing data from 
external files to PDF forms documents. With ARTS PDF Variform Plus, you can specify 
the range of records from a data file to be printed and extract form field names from an 
existing Acrobat form document to an external file. 
 
ARTS PDF Variform Plus can use data files from any ODBC compliant database, Adobe 
FDF/XFDF files, or tab, comma, semicolon or space-delimited text files. 
 
Any Acrobat form document using form fields and appropriate security settings can be 
used as a merge document. 
 
Merged data can be printed to a printer or new, merged PDF documents can be created 
by selecting print to “PDF”.
