Virtual Paper Publisher

Introduction

The Virtual Paper Publisher is an installable web service for generating pre-filled PDF ACORD forms. Form updates are delivered rapidly within days of release from ACORD. Overflow handling is built in and more than 100 custom overflow forms are included. Compound forms such as commercial insurance applications are also handled automatically generating required sections as needed.

ACORD XML Support

ACORD XML is now an option for direct input into the Publisher web service. Most major commercial lines mappings are complete and in production use. Our ACORD XML Mapping support includes an Extra Data Report that includes and data not specifically mapped to the form. This allows for inclusion of all data from the XML in the resulting PDF.

Features

• Adds ability to publish ACORD forms to any application.
• Accepts data in XML.
• Publishes ACORD forms to Adobe PDF (with a very small file size)
• Uses data to determine the need for schedules or overflow forms and appends them automatically.
• Uses data to select proper state forms.
• Little or no changes to software for updated forms or changes in assembly rules.
• Point-in-time reproduction of older forms.
• Uses simple HTTP POST for easy integration.

Benefits

• Shorter release schedules and minimized development cost for updated ACORD forms.
• Fast application development time for new applications.
• Eliminate costly maintenance of custom overflow solutions and schedule printing logic.
