PDF files

Sometimes, establishing a connection to the DVI System is not practical or possible, but you are still able to collect AM or PM information electronically through our specially designed PDF Form files with data-entry fields that can be imported the same way as normal XML files.
Another advantage of using the PDF files as a disconnected data collection tool is that the PDF files can be filled on nearly any device, phones, tablets or laptops with a PDF-save enabled reader.
The fillable PDF files are available from the INTERPOL web site and from Fillable PDF files. There is some delay getting the files at the INTERPOL website updated, so downloading the files from Fillable PDF files is preferred.
