XFA (XML Forms Architecture) is a proprietary Adobe XML-based technology that is used for creating interactive forms within PDF files.
Below is an overview of how different Accusoft products handle XFA PDFs.
Accusoft Products That Support XFA
ImageGear .NET
- Provides features to allow for processing of XFA content, though fidelity may vary.
- Refer to our documentation on XFA Support for more details.
Note: ImageGear for C/C++ also supports XFA files, but this version is no longer available for purchase.
Accusoft Products That Do Not Currently Support XFA
PDF Xpress
- When attempting to load an XFA PDF, PDF Xpress will display the error: Unable to open XFA PDF files
PrizmDoc
- Currently, this product does not support XFA forms.
PrizmDoc for Java (PDJ) and RasterMaster
- RasterMaster for Java supports static XFA but not Dynamic XFA. Officially, there is no full XFA support at this time.
Future Plans
We have existing feature requests or adding XFA functionality in future releases. Keep an eye on release notes for upcoming enhancements and new feature support related to XFA in Accusoft products.
Workarounds
- If your workflow requires XFA support, consider ImageGear for .NET or ImageGear for C/C++ .
- If possible, flatten the form fields to a static PDF before loading them in products without XFA support.
