I am looking for a little advice here. We have a large flex app that has a need for form letters. These need to typically show a standard letter body mixed with information from some records like who to address it to, which users signature to use etc. I have currently set up the forms as PDFs and we are using some java code to populate the the data via XML and merge with the template. Its a little messy, we are having some issues with the signature files, plus it forces the users to then use a seperate application (acrobat reader) to view the letters.
I am looking for a better way to do this. Is it possible to merge record data into a rich text editor form?? Any other ideas how best to accomplish this? The goal of this would be to either view and print these letters or also to be able to fax or email from within our flex app. How are you doing this? Thanks.
