It is possible to copy the information from the template form in the Lasernet 9/10 demo setup and add it to the forms being upgraded. ### Blank Form In Lasernet 9/10, the forms need criteria. In version 8, they do not. So, if you brought your **Blank Form** to Lasernet, you need to add the **Form Criteria**: **XPath=Report, Operator = exists**. ### Sheet modifiers for PDF and Print sheet The **attachDocumentToPrint**() and **attachDocumentToMail** are removed. The **Pre-Destination Selection** module manages this part. | Lasernet 9/New configuration | Lasernet 9/Old configuration | | --- | --- | | ![](https://cdn.document360.io/c831ef63-c6b3-48ee-b443-3e33644e4e2e/Images/Documentation/1623414381498.jpeg) | ![](https://cdn.document360.io/c831ef63-c6b3-48ee-b443-3e33644e4e2e/Images/Documentation/1623414381582.jpeg) | In addition, add both **PrinterName** and **PrinterDriver** related to the printer profile. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/c831ef63-c6b3-48ee-b443-3e33644e4e2e/Images/Documentation/image-QLXGJAGN.png) ### Print Sheet Options On the **Criteria** tab, change the criteria, and on the **Destinations** tab, remove the destination as follows: | Lasernet 9/New configuration | Lasernet 9/Old configuration | | --- | --- | | ![](https://cdn.document360.io/c831ef63-c6b3-48ee-b443-3e33644e4e2e/Images/Documentation/1623414428991.jpeg) | ![](https://cdn.document360.io/c831ef63-c6b3-48ee-b443-3e33644e4e2e/Images/Documentation/1623414429072.jpeg) | | ![](https://cdn.document360.io/c831ef63-c6b3-48ee-b443-3e33644e4e2e/Images/Documentation/1623414429152.jpeg) | ![](https://cdn.document360.io/c831ef63-c6b3-48ee-b443-3e33644e4e2e/Images/Documentation/1623414429241.jpeg) | ### PDF Sheet Options On the **Criteria** tab, remove available criteria, and on the **Destinations** tab, remove the destination as follows: | Lasernet 9/New configuration | Lasernet 9/Old configuration | | --- | --- | | ![](https://cdn.document360.io/c831ef63-c6b3-48ee-b443-3e33644e4e2e/Images/Documentation/1623414429319.jpeg) | ![](https://cdn.document360.io/c831ef63-c6b3-48ee-b443-3e33644e4e2e/Images/Documentation/1623414429399.jpeg) | | ![](https://cdn.document360.io/c831ef63-c6b3-48ee-b443-3e33644e4e2e/Images/Documentation/1623414429475.jpeg) | ![](https://cdn.document360.io/c831ef63-c6b3-48ee-b443-3e33644e4e2e/Images/Documentation/1623414429551.jpeg) | In Lasernet 9/10, the destination for both **Print** and **PDF Sheets** is defined in the **Form** module. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/c831ef63-c6b3-48ee-b443-3e33644e4e2e/Images/Documentation/image-YNFEDPG3.png)
