Thanks for your comments zacharye. BTW, you wouldn't believe how long I spent coming up with that name ;) All the forms can use SSL, so the submission of data is secure. On form completion, the data is stored in our database for creating the PDF and to save multi-page forms. If the template owner has not opted to store the entry, this data is deleted after 2 days. If they opt to store the entry, it will stay in the system until deleted by them. If they delete it, the data is removed completely, leaving only stats on when it was downloaded, IP address of downloader etc Access to stored entries is only available to the template owners account through an entries search facility. All this is behind SSL too. I should elaborate on this more in the TOS, but is that what you wanted to know?

That's exactly what I wanted to know, thanks carpo. And yes, despite the other comment I think that the name is creative, memorable and spelled logically. ie: If I pronounced the name to someone suggesting that (s)he should check it out, (s)he will likely have no problem remembering it or getting there. Yes, that's exactly what I wanted to know thanks. And I like the answer as well - I'll be showing this to a few people I know as a possible solution, no question. Last question(s) - is it possible for the form creator to omit "store" as an option when creating the form? How about an option to have each form submission automatically stored?

  Cheers, thanks zacharye. Entry storage is always up to the doculicious member who embeds a template on their site, never the public person who fills it in (is that what you were getting at, or am I off the mark?). Setting a template to save entries will automatically save all entries by anyone who fills it in and submits it. If the doculicious member who embeds the template turns off auto entry saving, the person filling in the form just gets the PDF, and only stats like date downloaded, IP address etc are saved for the member to view. (We are in the process of writing a more advanced reporting system for this). We use a concept of "activating" templates, allowing members to create multiple templates, but only have some active, and in the future, to activate a template created by someone else. When you activate a template you then get to define it's web form settings - things like automatically saving entries, disabling pdf download (making it work just like a standard web form), adding notification emails and stuff like that. Currently, only doculicious staff can create shareable templates - but I think I need to defined the term "form creator" better .. as later this could mean someone other than yourself or doculicious.

    Yessir - that answers my question precisely. It's also the answer I was hoping for. ;) Great work and I'll definitely be showing your service to a few people...
