FormRouter Offers Expanded Subscription Pricing for LiveCycle Reader Extensions Service

FormRouter, Inc. announced new subscription pricing for its LiveCycle Reader Extensions Service for organizations seeking to deploy PDF forms with advanced usage rights such as digital signatures and ability to fill and save offline. LiveCycle Reader Extensions allows organizations to enable advanced forms-processing features within Adobe Reader. When a rights-enabled PDF document is opened in Adobe Reader, users can access advanced features such as 2D barcodes, digital signatures, and offline save. Once the document is submitted or closed, these special rights are disabled until the user receives another rights-enabled PDF file. The FormRouter subscription service allows individuals with no technical experience to convert existing PDF documents into secure, Internet hosted forms, with no programming and no hardware installation. As PDF forms are submitted, encrypted results are routed directly to the form owner’s desktop. Documents that require extended-rights can be enabled by FormRouter and deployed using the FormRouter service and/or Adobe’s LiveCycle server solutions. Encrypted form submissions may be loaded directly into Microsoft Access, SQL Server or any ODBC compliant database. Integrated alerts support e-mail notification, payment processing through VeriSign and Authorize.Net and CRM integration with salesforce.com.

DataDirect Releases Stylus Studio 6 XML Enterprise Edition

Stylus Studio announced the release of Stylus Studio 6 XML Enterprise Edition, the newest edition of the Stylus Studio XML IDE. Stylus Studio 6 XML Enterprise Edition is a tool for advanced XML data integration projects. Now you can generate code for your XQuery and XSLT stylesheets and deploy that code to a live production server or application.

Push-button code generation also gives you complete control over class names and whether or not generated classes are public. Stylus Studio fully supports the W3C XQuery working draft of April 2005. New XML Schema Tools include EDI/EDIFACT to XML Schema conversion; the ability to generate sample XML fragments from XML Schema components, Java API for XML Binding (JAXB) code from XML Schema, create XML Schema documentation with a JavaDoc-like layout, and XML Schema-based output validation of XSLT or XQuery transformations. Stylus Studio 6 XML Enterprise Edition, Release 3 is available for immediate purchase at the Stylus Studio online shop starting at $995 (USD) for a single user license, with volume discounts available.
