Form Usage Options
Form usage affects the way you can use a form once it is in OmniForm.
This section contains the following topics:
• Choosing a Form Usage Option
• Where to Select Form Usage Options
• Changing Form Usage
Decide how you will use a form in OmniForm
before
you scan or import
it: as a
designed
form, as an
original
form, or as a
nondesigned
form image
as described below.
Choosing a Form Usage Option
The following table provides the three usage options — designed,
original, and nondesigned form — and recommendations for your
choice.
See Chapter 4, “Designing a Form,” for information on importing
graphics, creating objects, and using other design techniques.

view.
