Another question about Forms in Aras. The functionality obviously exists in Aras to create forms for user entry, but what if one would like to create actual documents based on these forms?
I see that you can export the form to excel and word, but all that gives you is a data dump.
Is the only real option to program our own methods that creates a decent document from the form? I was thinking I could do something in iText and program that into the forms?

Phil;
I am not aware of an Innovator "out-of-the-box" solution for your problem. I typically just use a screen capture utility ("Snag-It"). On some Innovator forms you can right-click on the Form and do a Print (or Print Preview) and print to my PDF generator.
I have often thought about using iText for this, but have never got around to it. So I hope that you can be succesful with this.

Phil,
Don't know exactly how nicely formatted you want your output but the Report capability can query and create an XSLT based report. You can also create reports taking advantage of reporting services or making a db connection similar to MSofts mailmerge functionality.
