While the Designer is
used to create new forms, you may already have existing forms. The
topic of migrating covers both the transformation of existing IBM® forms as well as the conversion
of PDF and FileNet® forms
into IBM forms.
Upgrading the Designer
Prior to transforming existing IBM forms or converting PDF or FileNet files to IBM forms, upgrade to the new version of the Designer.
Upgrading form version
You can upgrade the form version of your existing IBM forms; doing so allows you to take advantage of the updates that are in the latest version of the IBM Forms Designer. You can upgrade the version of a single form or an entire folder of forms.
Converting to IBM forms
The IBM Forms Designer lets you convert PDF or FileNet files into IBM forms. You can also add a toolbar from an existing IBM form to a new one.
