Orbeon Form Runner

Orbeon Form Runner

Orbeon Form Runner is the Orbeon Forms runtime environment. Form Runner manages form types and form data, handles search, validation, and takes care of the plumbing necessary to capture, save, import and export form data.

Easy PDF Output

Form Runner supports producing PDF either automatically by following the layout of the HTML output, or by using PDF templates. In that case you can accurately match the layout of existing PDF or paper forms.

Flexible Persistence Layer

Out of the box, Form Runner stores data in its embedded eXist XML database. But you can easily customize Orbeon Forms to your needs by hooking into Form Runner's REST-based persistence API.
