| ProTechnology offers an optional Development Lab as an extension
of our Adobe Central Pro Output Server and Output Designer (JetForm Central
and Design) training. The Lab is an optional day after the last day of
standard Adobe Central Pro Output Server (JetForm Central) training.
This optional day is for those students who wish to take the knowledge
they just received and apply it to their own project. They can bring
with them to training a data file, form layout, business requirements,
etc. We will work with the student closely to build their application
so when they go back to their office they will have a working application.

Lab
Highlights
The Lab will go into more detail on
each one of these topics as specifically applied to your application.
Here are some examples of what could be covered during the lab:
Designing your form(s) from scratch.
More detailed training on advanced features
of Output Designer (JetForm Design) specific to your application,
for example the use of variables within a paragraph of text embedded
within the form.
How to use the forms conversion tool to convert
your forms to Central forms. As part of the fee, we will convert
two of your forms. If you would like to convert additional forms,
the charge is $19 per page which is our per page cost on the software.
Taking your data file and mapping it with
Visual Transformation Editor. We will show you how to do section
changes, calculations, dynamic mapping and any other features to
handle your specific requirements.
Testing your data file with the Transformation
Agent to ensure that we are extracting all the correct data
We will merge your transformed data with
your forms and show you shortcuts on quickly making changes to your
application and viewing those changes.
We will show you how to prototype Field Nominated
Files to get the desired end result on printing, faxing or creating
PDF files
If you require it, we will show you how to
set up email output of your documents.
We can also show you how you can do archiving in
PDF or PCL formats using an archiving custom agent that has been developed

Lab
Goals
The goal of the Lab is for you to go back
to your office with as many completed forms and applications as possible.
What
to Bring
Your success in the Lab is very dependent on the information that we bring with
you. Here are some tips on preparing for the lab:
- Bring with you several specific forms that
you would like to work on. If at all possible, bring PDF files
of these forms OR PCL files created in a LaserJet III driver. This
way we can show you how to convert the forms automatically.
- If you cannot bring PDF or PCL files, bring
original paper forms with you. We possibly can scan these forms,
OCR them (Optical Character Recognition) and convert them into
Central forms. There will be some cleanup that you will have to
do with this method but it might be a lot faster than designing
from scratch.
- Bring "Production Quality" data files to
do the data mapping
- Bring data mapping instructions so you know
what and where each field of data is.
- Bring any other information about specific
business requirements for your application, like how you want to
output the documents (print, fax, email, archive, Web delivery),
what format you want (PCL, Postscript, PDF, HTML) and information
on specific logic on assembling the documents.
Costs
The cost of the Lab is $1,200 for the one day
and includes the one day of individual consulting, one user license
of Swiftview (value $250), our TDF development toolkit (value $995),
two forms automatically converted (value $38) and a 50% discount
on any one JetTrac custom agent if you need it. (value $750).
