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.
