Integrate with IIS

On the client side we are going to create a simple web form with fields for first and last name and submit that to our endpoint. On the server side we are going to load our merge project and pass form data as parameters. Finally, the merged PDF opens in the browser.


Pagination

This video explains how to map multiple data items to a single page using a feature called pagination. This is demonstrated with a 1095-C IRS form that has room for 6 covered individuals.
