Re: [WebERP-developers] FormDesigner.php

[Rafael C. <raf...@gm...>]

The long term solution to have a best way to turn the forms modifiable do
not seems easy.

Meanwhile, we have FormDesigner.php.

My concerns with FormDesigner.php are:
1. Poor documentation. E.g. Nowhere indicates that the all coordinates are
measured from from the lower-left-corner of the sheet to the the
top-left-corner of the field. (Same problem in pdf generator scripts.)
2. The information that is there leads to mistakes.  E.g. "mm from the left
hand side of page", "mm from the top of the page", but measures are in
dots-per-inch (72 dpi = 25,4 mm).

If all agree, my proposal is to document and simplify FormDesigner.php and
to add narrative to help the users. Meanwhile, we continue the discussion
to find out a long term solution.

Best regards, Rafael.
