Components
—These are JAR files that provide services not available in the base LDD installation, such as interaction
with a custom
enterprise content management
(ECM) system.
•
Formsets
—These are custom form files used for merging data with standard forms.
•
Custom reports
—These are reports created by a solution developer that present custom data.
•
Solution Status Page
—This is an easy

Understanding solution types
Three basic types of solutions can be developed depending on business needs:
•
A
device solution
allows users to submit documents and respond to prompts on a printer.
•
A
client software solution
allows users or other applications to submit documents electronically.
•
A
hybrid solution
uses a supporting eSF application on printers to deliver advanced functionality, such as cached or
scheduled job submissions to the LDD system.
Additionally, you can include functionality from more than one of these types in a single solution by including a separate
script for each type.
You can add features for each solution type. See the following table for more information.
