PDF Module FAQ
Common questions about the Redix PDF Module — CMS-1500, UB-04, ADA J400, 835 remittance reports, legacy HCFA templates, batch output, and landscape orientation.
What is the Redix PDF module?
The PDF module allows users to convert EDI, HIPAA, XML, CSV, and Flat File transactions to Adobe PDF form. It enables generating human-readable PDF documents from electronic healthcare data.
The module is an add-on for the Redix AnyToAny Format Converter Engine.
Can the PDF module be licensed alone?
No. The PDF module is an add-on for the Redix AnyToAny Format Converter Engine. Users must also license the engine.
Does the Redix PDF module support CMS-1500 and UB-04 conversions?
Yes. The current documented pre-built conversions are:
- HIPAA 837 Professional (005010X222A1) → CMS-1500 PDF
- HIPAA 837 Institutional (005010X223A2) → UB-04 (CMS-1450) PDF
- HIPAA 837 Dental (005010X224A2) → ADA J400 PDF
- HIPAA 835 (005010X221A1) → Remittance Report PDF
Older templates for the HCFA 1500, HCFA UB-92, and HCFA 1450 forms are legacy assets, not current forms; ask Redix if you need one. Confirm the form edition you need for your project. Pre-built maps are licensed as separate items alongside the PDF Module; your quote confirms the maps included.
How can I create a PDF document in landscape orientation?
Use the pdfSetBBox OFD function, which sets the page boundary box in points. The examples below are the US Letter values used in Redix PDF maps. Portrait orientation:
pdfSetBBox(4, 0.0, 0.0, 612.0, 792.0)
For landscape orientation, swap the width and height:
pdfSetBBox(4, 0.0, 0.0, 792.0, 612.0)
The box is set page by page, so call pdfSetBBox at the start of each page. If your map sets different orientations on different pages, check the generated PDF.
Does the PDF module support batch processing?
Yes. Many of the pre-built maps come in two variants, for example the CMS-1500 maps:
- PDFperClaim — generates one PDF file per claim for individual distribution (e.g.,
PDF_CMS-1500-RAW_VIEW-PDFperClaim) - Standard mode — generates all claims in a single PDF file for bulk processing (e.g.,
PDF_CMS-1500-RAW_VIEW)
Which variants are available depends on the map; confirm them for the forms you need.
Can I generate 835 remittance/EOB reports as PDF?
Yes, as a provider remittance report. The PDF_Bulk_HIPAA_835_Report map converts HIPAA 835 (005010X221A1) data into a remittance report PDF. The format was designed by Redix to present the remittance fields that map supports in a single readable document. It is a report built from 835 data, not a payer-approved member Explanation of Benefits (EOB).
Which pre-built PDF maps are available for the PDF module?
The current documented pre-built maps cover CMS-1500, UB-04, ADA J400, and the 835 Remittance Report, with per-claim or combined-file variants where available. Older HCFA-1500, HCFA-UB92, and HCFA-1450 templates are legacy assets. Pre-built maps are licensed as separate items alongside the PDF Module; your quote confirms the maps included.
