A joint enterprise licensing agreement (JELA) in Illinois is conducting market research to gather information from vendors regarding commercial PDF and forms management software solutions. The aim is to explore enterprise-level software options that cover the full functional spectrum of portable document format (PDF) management and forms management capabilities.

The organization seeks software solutions that enable the creation, management, and manipulation of PDF documents, as well as comprehensive forms management throughout the entire form lifecycle. Essential features include the ability to design complex, multi-page documents, integrate seamlessly with web platforms, and deploy across a variety of systems.

In particular, solutions should support dynamic and adaptive forms, moving beyond static PDFs to provide interactive user experiences through scripting capabilities. Vendors are invited to submit information outlining their available licensing models and the capabilities offered by their products in these areas.
