Multiple Watermarks
A classic challenge is: I have made a design, but now I want multiple versions of the output e.g. two different watermarks – one original and another depicting file copy. How can I do that without duplicating my single design? You can use copy management and do either a primary or secondary merge or you can introduce an extra layer of templates.

In the video below, you will find out how Profound JumpStart decides which database fields go into your JSON output. You can also set up your web services for the UDF web connector.

Import Resources
The import & export feature within InterForm400 and InterFormNG is perfect for duplicating the setup from one machine to another, for example, if you were to move from a test machine functionality to a live production machine after a successful test, or for sending us a support call.

Printing images using InterForm has previously only supported colour or black/white images. Now we can print in greyscale. The new format will give you the ability to use a colour image in your design it will then automatically produce a greyscale output, giving a better quality output.
