FormFlex — IBM i Electronic Forms Software
Merge IBM i spooled data with professional form overlays. Print, email, and archive — automatically.
What FormFlex Does
FormFlex runs natively on IBM i and handles the entire forms workflow in one place — design, merge, deliver, and archive — with no middleware or separate servers involved.
Forms can be delivered by:
- Laser printer (standard HP Laser or compatible — no special hardware)
- Email as PDF attachment
- Internet fax — no fax line or hardware required
- Archive to IFS, shared folders, or network file servers
