ActiveInk Professional Designer

ActiveInk Professional Designer

*Sold as a per workstation license. (CD plus license key kit)

A form design tool for creating electronic forms. An Active Ink form is an ink enabled document and supports the handwriting recognition capabilities of the tablet PC.

An Active Ink form mirrors the look and feel of a paper document, but incorporates all of the advantages of a digital form.

An Active Ink form can be built from scratch, imported from a scanned image or converted from a PC document. It supports the ability to create data entry fields for entering text, check boxes, drop down lists and signatures.

Once the form has been filled out, it can be saved and retrieved as a PC document, searched and retrieved from a database and exported to other applications.

The Pro Designer can be installed on a PC or tablet PC.
