Designing Forms

The main purpose of OpenForms is to help you create, design and maintain forms with data fields that can be recognised by the Digital Pen. The design options also help you to add corporate information to a form and, when necessary, modify an existing form. There are two design environment pages available:

• Quick Designer, allows you to create a basic data capture form from scratch.
• Advanced Designer, allows you to take an existing PDF form and identify areas for data capture by the digital pen.

All the design options are available from the Designer Home page which you open by selecting Design Forms from the menu in the Sidebar.
