Creating and editing forms

You can bring paper or static electronic forms (distributed

mainly as PDF in an office environment) into OmniPage

Prof

essional 17, recognize them and edit their content,

layout or both - in True Page. Draw form zones over the

relevant areas of your image before recognition, or choose Form as

recognition layout, then use the two toolbars: Form Drawing and

Form Arrangement to make modifications and produce a fillable

form and save it in the following formats: PDF, RTF, or XSN

(Microsoft Office InfoPath 2003 format). Static forms can be saved

to HTML. OmniPage Professional 17 uses the Logical Form

Recognition

technology to create fillable forms from static ones.

Please note that OmniPage supports form creation and editing,
