The SmartForms capability enables your applications to work with PDF files. Your application can extract field data from incoming PDF forms and can generate PDF forms and documents.
Map eForm rules specify the relationship between the form fields in a PDF form and properties in your application. EForm File rules hold uploaded PDF form files that your application uses as templates when generating new PDF documents. When you create a map eform rule, you specify an eForm file rule (Rule-File-eForm) to which the mapping applies. See About eForm File rules.
Two standard activities accept the name of a map eForm rule as an input parameter:
You can also reference map eform rules with the Connect-File method, to write a PDF form to an output file.
Use the Integration slice (
) or Application Explorer to access Map eForm rules
that apply to the work types in your application. Use the Rules
by Type Explorer to list all Map eForm rules available to
you.
For information about configuring your application to use
these activities to process incoming PDF forms or to generate a
PDF form, see the Pega Developer Network article 
Working with PDF Forms and Documents.
To simplify the process of creating an eForm and its corresponding map eForm rule, use the Create eForm Rules wizard. To start the wizard, choose Create eForm rules from the Wizards area of the Integration slice. See About the eForm Rules accelerator .
Map eForm rules are instances of the Rule-Map-Eform class. They are part of the Integration-Mapping category.
