Sharing information among various stakeholders is obviously important. And when the information is digital, it’s important to preserve its content and format. PDF files usually meet this need perfectly. However, it’s not an uncommon scenario to need to share a PDF that happens to include some personal information.

Foxit’s advanced forms consist of Ultraforms that render a 2D barcode inside a PDF fillable form. It does this using JavaScript libraries which makes it unique relative to alternative 2D barcode solutions on the market. By comparison, other providers render a 2D barcode inside a PDF fillable form by using the PDF reader application to produce the 2D barcode. This means that they can only render a 2D barcode in a PDF form so long as the form user is using their product. Ultraforms will render a 2D barcode inside a PDF form using any PDF reader product, so long as it has implemented support for the JavaScript specification for PDF. Foxit PDF SDK for Web now adds a fantastic addition because it means form users don’t have to install a PDF reader on their device anymore.
