HTML Form Generator

Introduction

HTML Form Generator

is a multilingual HTML format data entry

form generator, dedicated to document printing.

HTML Form Generator

allows you to create forms quickly and

easily, thanks to a wizard that guides you through the whole
operation.

The application allows you to associate a data entry form with
each existing document, in a similar way to the

Form

in your

labeling software. The major advantage of using HTML is that it
can be edited quickly and easily using a wide range of software
packages, such as FrontPage, Word, and so on. This gives you
total control over the way your forms look.

Once generated, these forms can be used alone on your local
workstation, or coupled with

Sentinel Print Pack

on your

company’s intranet. When operating in classic

Form

mode, data

is entered manually by the operator and printed locally. When
operating in automated mode, data is transmitted in the form of
records in a file, with final printing carried out by

Sentinel Print

Pack

.
