Purpose

The SmartForms capability enables your applications to work with PDF files. Your application can extract field data from incoming PDF forms and can generate PDF forms and documents.

Map eForm rules specify the relationship between the form fields in a PDF form and properties in your application. EForm File rules hold uploaded PDF form files that your application uses as templates when generating new PDF documents. When you create a map eform rule, you specify an eForm file rule (Rule-File-eForm) to which the mapping applies. See About eForm File rules.
