Introduction
to the template structure
1. The customized standard requires
the template to start with <root> and end with <root>, or it will
lead to analyzing failure. 2. Details for elements between
<root>…<root> will be introduced later. Not all of these elements
are obligatory except <pageConfig> since it defines vital values of the
printed PDF, such as page size, margins, etc.

<Input>

As the following image shows,
<input> defines a group of character strings. Each character string to be
put in is defined as one <InputText>. <Input> works when our
existing field fails to satisfy all the printing requirements, e.g. it enables
us to put in some user’s specific character. By defining <Input>, a
dialogue window will pop out for inputting relevant values.
