A system and a method for filling a form are provided which take as input a user's data file, which is configured for use in filling in forms, and an image of an original form to be filled in using the user's personal data. Form filling rules encoded in the image are decoded and used to determine values of a plurality of fields of the form by applying the decoded rules to the user's data. The plurality of fields of the form are filled with the determined values to generate an at least partially filled form, which is then output, e.g., to a printer or a display. The exemplary system and method are able to operate independently of the language used in the text of the form, have the capability of filling in previously unseen forms, and are particularly suited to filling in paper forms.
