Orbeon Form Builder

Orbeon Form Builder

Orbeon Form Builder is the Orbeon Forms visual form designer. It allows you to build and deploy forms in minutes right from your web browser.

Form Builder uses an easy to understand layout based on sections and grids, onto which you place your form elements. You concentrate on the data you want to capture, not the pesky details.

Form Builder supports common datatypes and user interface controls, as well as attachments and pictures. It also lets you import your own XML Schema and use the imported types.

The forms you build with Form Builder automatically produce nice-looking HTML and PDF output.

With Form Builder, any form is easily designed in multiple languages, including labels, help, and error messages.

For experts, Form Builder lets your form talk to the outside world with its built-in Web Services editor, and advanced form authors can provide their own XForms markup.

Finally, with a single click, your form is deployed into Form Runner and users can start filling-out data.
