The person who is working with the filled out paper forms will thank you if you do it that way. I once had to check and process thousands of paper forms that were send by post and fax to my office and it was sometimes horrendous to decipher the handwriting.

Nedjosoft Paperform is a free application that can be used to fill out paper forms with a computer. The document has to be available digitally so that it can be processed by the software, this can be achieved by scanning a paper form or download a digital version right away.

The program works basically by loading so called pages into it. Pages are images with the jpg, png, bmp or gif file extension. The user can then switch to edit mode once an image has been loaded into the software.

Fields can be added to the image which can later be filled out by the user. There are two basic types of fields: text fields and check boxes.

Both fields are divided further. Text boxes can be single or multi lined and aligned to the left, center or right while check boxes can have various forms as well. Each field can be placed exactly on the image so that they match the form fields perfectly.

Once all fields have been added to the image the digital form can be saved and filled out.
