The FireUI Multi-Device Designer makes it easy to create 

user interfaces across multiple form factors, devices and 

target platforms.

The Multi-Device Preview provides a design time view of 

what your application is going to look like on a wide range 

of devices. This gives you a great visual aid for developing 

your applications, allowing you to easily identify which user 

interfaces to fine-tune for a specific form factor or device.

The Multi-Device Preview window shows a preview of the current 

active form across all selected devices. Zoom in to see a detailed 

view of a specific device, or choose from different view modes to 

change the presentation of the devices in the Multi-Device Preview window.

CutePDF Form SDK
The easiest and most affordable PDF forms technology available.

Author opinion:
"This SDK is the most easy to use Form SDK i have tested, it is very powerful because it is easy to learn and apply!, with a few lines of code you can build a complex forms application.
If you have a paper forms and want to convert it to fillable form, just scan and import it to the FormMax tools and place your fields by WYSIWYG editor, name the fields and publish it to PDF, HTML,... !!"

Dump and restore functionality

• output formats (binary, text, directory, gzipped),
• parallel dumping and restoring,
• comprehensive selection, filtering and reordering of archived items,
• SQL-92 specific output options, etc.

Asynchronous Fetch-On-Demand mode

• TPSQLQuery.Open waits for the command to be completed. The application might have other work to do (such as maintaining a user interface), in which case it won’t be a good decision to block while waiting for a response.
• Since the execution of the client application is suspended while it waits for the result, it is hard for the application to decide that it would like to try to cancel the ongoing command.
• TPSQLQuery in default mode always collects a command's entire result, buffering it in a single place. While this behavior simplifies some internal logic, it can be impractical for results containing many rows.

• To get advantages of the Fetch-On-Demand mode one should use read-only TPSQLQuery objects. This restriction will be removed with time probably.
• Each read-only TPSQLQuery component must have its separate TPSQLDatabase component since Fetch-On-Demand command flow will block a connection until getting the last row of the result set.

Support for built-in range and geometric field types

• TPSQLRangeField
• TPSQLPointField
• TPSQLCircleField
• TPSQLBoxField
• TPSQLLSegField

Enhanced Manual

• chm,
• pdf.
• epub (in progress).
