Scanning a Paper Form
OmniForm Procedures - 84
Scanning a Paper Form
This section describes how to use both Form Assistant and the
Scan
Form...
command to turn your paper form into an electronic form.
You can scan paper forms directly into OmniForm if you have a scanner.
Forms should be blank with crisp, dark text on a white background for
best results.
You can use the Sample Form included with your OmniForm package
as a test page if you like.
