Introduction
OmniForm is the easy way to convert your paper forms to electronic
forms. Use OmniForm to edit, design, and fill forms, manage
information databases, and print and mail forms among other functions.
This chapter gives an overview of the form creation and information
management capabilities OmniForm provides, as well as an explanation
of how to use the documentation.
This chapter contains the following sections:
• OmniForm Features
• Using the Documentation
Introduction 3
OmniForm Features
OmniForm Features
OmniForm, an easy-to-use environment for working with forms, is
more than just form-recognition software. OmniForm includes the
following features:
Form Input
OmniForm uses Logical Form Recognition™ to convert your scanned
paper forms or imported image files into electronic, editable forms.
Design View
Use OmniForm’s
forms. A variety of toolbars make formatting easy and convenient. Use
the scrapbook to store or copy form objects.
Fill View
Use OmniForm’s
Information entered can easily be searched and sorted. In this view, you
can take advantage of OmniForm’s validation and calculation features.
Save as a Mailable Filler
You can save your form as a mailable filler. This option is useful if you
want your form to be filled out by a user who does not have OmniForm
installed.
OmniForm Database
All information you enter into a form is stored as a part of an OmniForm
database. You can create, duplicate, sort, and search records, and import
and export database information.
Field Validation
You can set up OmniForm to

validate
a fillable field automatically.
Field Calculations
OmniForm’s built-in operators and functions let you define calculations
that display the correct value as you fill the appropriate field(s) in a
form. This automates data entry and reduces the possibility of errors.
Save to Microsoft Word
You can save your form to Microsoft Word format: either Word 95 or
Word 97.
4 Introduction
Form Printing and Mailing
You can print forms from OmniForm. You have a choice of printing just
the form, or just the data entered in a form (useful when you have a
preprinted form in your printer), or both the form and its information.
Use electronic mail to send forms to other users if you have Microsoft
Outlook/Exchange or Lotus cc:Mail/Notes installed. Microsoft Outlook/
Exchange users can also add routing slips to mailed forms.
Using the Documentation
This section explains the various instructional and formatting
conventions used in this manual.
Online Help
OmniForm has both online help and context-sensitive help. There are
also four online tutorials to step you through the basics, especially if you
have never used OmniForm before (the tutorials are located in the Help
menu under
information on OmniForm topics.

Formatting
Two formatting conventions are used throughout the manual.
Italicized Text
• Labeled buttons, menu commands, dialog box text, and any
text in an onscreen form are italicized; for example, “Choose
in the File menu.”
Open
Menu titles, icon names, dialog box names, and unlabeled buttons are not italicized.
• A new term may be italicized the first time it is used; for example, “This is a

Importing an Image File
Importing an Image File
This section describes how to use the
image file as a recognized OmniForm form. You can also use the Form
Assistant dialog box to import a form. See “Using Form Assistant” on
page 3-2.
OmniForm can import and recognize black-and-white forms in either
PCX or TIFF format. Image resolution must be 200, 300, or 400 dots per
inch (dpi). If you have a fax modem, for example, you can receive a
faxed form and use the fax program’s software to save the file in PCX or
TIFF format. OmniForm offers the same import options for image files
as it does for scanned forms.
