The ability to populate PDF reports has long been an essential feature of the Mobile Impact Platform. However, the fixed nature of PDF documents can make it difficult to display data of variable size, such as the contents of a grid. Additionally, data often does not fit a static one-to-one mapping from a form field to a PDF entry. Enter Report Customization, a new feature released in Mobile... Read More »

Londoners have grown to expect nothing less than timely, affordable, clean, and safe public transportation.
