Form generation and modification system

摘要

A system advantageously eliminates the need for a new software release to implement modifications or a new version of an existing form, or to create a new form. The system provides data for incorporation in a form. An acquisition processor automatically acquires data representing information for incorporation in a form. A pre-processor uses predetermined rules in processing the acquired data by: parsing the acquired data to identify individual data elements in the acquired data, associating the individual data elements with corresponding locations on a target form, and storing the individual data elements and corresponding associated location data in data records. A transformation processor converts the data records into a structured language executable by a processing device.
