What is Interactive Communication Editor?

Interactive Communication (IC) Editor is an intuitive visual design environment within Adobe Experience Manager Forms. It enables organizations to create highly personalized, data-integrated communications in print format using a single authoring experience. These communications are often used for customer correspondence such as billing statements, policy documents, welcome kits, and investment summaries.

You can integrate components such as text, images, charts, tables, and barcodes, while binding each element to structured data sources. This dynamic binding ensures that communications are automatically tailored for every recipient.
