I am looking for software to drive the Summa Sketch pad for a specific application. We have a large number of paper forms that we would like to replace using a printer as an output device. The problem is that we need an automated way to capture the paper form layouts so we can save the layouts in an ascii data file. Later we would edit the data file to revise the layouts as required, and we would use this data as a basis for establishing layout instructions for driving a printer. We would write the printer software ourselves but are lacking instructions/software examples for capturing the form layouts using the Summa Sketch pad.
