When to Define a Form Type

You must define at least one form type for a document class. In addition, a form type should be defined whenever:

  • The processing for the form includes automatic recognition (such as form identification, automatic validation, etc.)

  • Page Registration is selected

  • You have different form types within a document class

All form types within the document class use the same index fields. For some types of processing, you must scan or import a sample page for the form type.

You define a form type from the Create Form Type window or Form Type Properties window.
