This version introduces our new colours and a slightly redesigned interface that takes your user experience to the next level. It also comes with important new features such as PDF/UA creation, support for Azure Service Bus, and an improved dashboard that gives you a better overview with relevant statistics.

1. A bold new visual design 

As previously announced this week in an article, we have been introducing the first step in a full CVI design transformation, starting with changing our colours and the shape of basic form elements.  

Besides our new colour theme, you will notice the entire interface now sports a modern look, with cleaner icons and minimalistic elements and a more user-friendly interface. The redesign aims to improve clarity and usability while staying familiar to long-time users.  

The updated dashboard is also a central piece of the new design and with customizable widgets so you can tailor it to your workflow. When opening the new updated InterFormNG2 you will quickly be able to see how and what you shall do in order to customize the dashboard.  

2. Improved dashboard with statistics and job counters 

We’ve reimagined how key statistics are presented. Your dashboard now includes:  

  • Real-time job counters that replace the previous output counters  
  • Statistics and health metrics to help spot and troubleshoot issues quickly  
  • User-specific lists of recently used templates and workflows  

This gives more transparency, better insights, and a personalized experience right from the start page.

  • Azure Service Bus integration for cloud messaging  
  • Time-limited persistent storage for safer temporary data handling

4. Under-the-hood performance and storage improvements 

We’ve added several features that keep your system lean and efficient:  

  • Daily database maintenance (embedded DB only) to reduce size and improve performance  
  • Reduced job log sizes and smarter logging options in workflows  
  • Storage cleanup features, including auto-delete of payloads after printing  
  • Selective import of workflows to avoid clutter  

This means smoother operation, faster logs, and less wasted storage, especially for high-volume users.  

5. PDF/UA

From June 28, 2025, new EU rules require businesses that send digital documents to consumers to meet strict accessibility standards under the European Accessibility Act (EAA). Making PDFs compliant with the PDF/UA standard is the best way to ensure your communications are accessible and compliant. You can read more in-depth about the upcoming regulations here.

With InterFormNG2 4.0 using the AdvancedPDF-module, you can now create PDF/UA-compliant documents, making it easier for your business to meet these requirements and support digital accessibility.

The AdvancedPDF-module is required.
