This section describes how to upgrade from FormSuite 4 or FormSuite 5 to FormSuite 6. While generally you'll be able to replace FormSuite with FormSuite 6, there are a few important changes you may need to consider.

Assembly Changes

Projects must now target .NET Framework 3.5 or later to build with the FormSuite component assemblies.

The following project references must be updated to use the new assemblies:

• The FormsAPI assembly filename has been renamed from Accusoft.Forms1.dll to Accusoft.FormsAPI.Net.dll.
