pdf processing Interactive Forms drag-drop builder

Hi,

A Feature suggestion to develop a drag-drop Interactive Forms builder, rather than programmatically design a Form. This Feature would simplify and reduce design time to create an Interactive Form for a Designer/User and could be directly integrated into existing applications.

It's interesting to hear that you started with Webforms during the Telerik days. Back then Sitefinity was known as r.a.d.designer for ASP.NET which evolved over the years to a very powerful platform for site development and management in the .NET ecosystem.

If you have any further questions or ideas on the matter, do not hesitate to share them.

Best Regards,

Hi Rumen,

Thanks for the Sitefinity demo. I started Webforms during the Telerik days so didn't know about Sitefinity back them :(

If something similar could be available for .Net that would be great.

I'll leave it with the experts.

Thank you for sharing these great examples! Yes, these demos describe the feature request for a form builder pretty well!

Just wanted to add here that similar functionality is already available in our full-blown CMS system Sytefinity

Hi Rumen,

There's quite a few example around which allow you to drag an object (textbox, etc..) onto a Blank canvas to build a Form. Here's some I was reviewing. Most of these having pricing models based on number of Users, which is not viable for developers of enterprise systems. Embedded Form Builder are quite expensive.

I hope these examples help describe the Feature Request some more. This may be out of scope of what Telerik provides, not sure. Anyway, thanks for asking for some examples.
