Note: Laserfiche Forms will use the Laserfiche Forms account to connect to your database server if Use Windows Authentication is selected on the Forms Configuration page.

Note: With Forms 10.4.3 and newer, Chromium version 79.0.3942.0 is required for PDF generation, and will be automatically installed to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Chromium". Forms requires the install path above to generate PDFs, please do not change the path. If a previous version of Chromium is installed, it will be automatically updated. Newer versions will be left untouched. Behavior of PDF generation is untested for versions of Chromium other than 79.0.3942.0.

Important: Bypassing prerequisites may cause Forms to function incorrectly and is not recommended.
