I work in the IT department of a local government, and one of our departments uses OmniForm Filler 4.x for hundreds of forms. The forms themselves look and work just like your average fill-able PDF form does -- the user fills in the form controls (check boxes, text boxes, etc), and then saves the form (and prints it, if appropriate).
I recently read that OmniForm has been discontinued, and that OmniPage is its indirect replacement. I admit that I haven't thoroughly studies the benefits of OmniPage, but its pricetag makes me want to look elsewhere before even checking into it. We are under a pretty tight budget crunch, and nobody thought to budget for this particular piece of software, so the less expensive it is, the better. I need around 50 seats in replacement of OmniForm Filler -- meaning the end users just completing and saving/printing the form.
Does anyone have any suggestions for a replacement for the current OmniForm solution? Converting the forms to PDF sounds like a potential possibility, but I *think* I would then need to buy a copy of OmniForm 5 in order to convert the OmniForm files to PDF files, and would also have to buy a copy of some PDF form filling program for each of the ~50 clients.
Help? Thanks!
