FormTyper

is a PaperPort program that enables you to fill in static

forms, such as insurance forms, registration cards, and medical forms, that

you scan to the PaperPort desktop.

You simply drag a form from the PaperPort desktop to the FormTyper

pro

gram on the Send To bar. The form is converted to PDF if necessary

and opened in your Nuance PDF product. FormTyper automatically

analyzes the form, recognizes the blank areas in which data can be entered,

and creates blank fields for the data. FormTyper can detect edit boxes and

checkmarks.

Now, you can quickly type and tab to each field. You can also quickly

rep

osition edit box or checkmark fields, insert new fields, and remove

fields as necessary. After you enter data and complete the form, save the

form to the PaperPort desktop so that you can print or e-mail the form in

its entirety with its completed data.

If you have a pre-printed form, choose

Form Fields Only

in the Print

dialog box to print your responses directly onto the form.

different types, commonly called flavors:

• PDF Image

• PDF Searchable Image

• PDF Formatted Text & Graphics (PDF Normal)

Opening PDF files

default open in PDF Viewer Plus or (if available) in PDF Converter

Professional, versions 6 or 7.

tions dialog box:
