This section describes form usage: what is it and how to change it.
What Is Form Usage?
Form usage affects how a form appears and the way you can use it in
OmniForm Filler. The forms you use were created in the OmniForm
program and designed according to the wishes of the creator. A form
may appear in one of three ways:
•As a
desig ned
form
This is a fully designed form. You can fill in highlighted fields.
The form can be edited in the OmniForm program as well.
Graphics on the original form do not appear on a designed form
unless the creator placed them there manually.
•As an
original
form
This is a partially designed form. You can fill in highlighted
fields. Some of the form can be edited in the OmniForm program.
An original form maintains its original look and graphics.
•As a
nondesigned
form image
This form has no fillable fields unless the form’s creator added
some. Otherwise, it is just a picture on your computer. You can
print or mail a nondesigned form.

in OmniForm by another person.
You would change the form to a
designed
form.
• You have a form designed in OmniForm by another person but
decide to send the original form to someone.
You would change the form to an
original
form.
