[comp.text] Filling in Hardcopy Forms

km@mathcs.emory.edu (Ken Mandelberg) (03/15/91)

Is there software that allows WYSIWYG fill in of hardcopy forms? The idea would
be to scan in frequently used forms, and then provide it as a a background
bitmap to an editor. The editor would need to be more agile than usual at
allowing line positioning and font size.

For printing you could presumably either OR the bitmap with the text, or just
manual feed the form into the printer.

I really want a special purpose X client for this, but wonder what else there
is for this if there is none.
