FORM DATA CREATION DEVICE, FORM OUTPUT DEVICE AND PROGRAM, AND FORM PROCESSING SYSTEM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable a form data creation device to print and output external characters without registering the characters in a terminal that prints and outputs them.

SOLUTION: The form data creation device 1 creates form data 5 and is connected via a network 3 to a form output device 2 which prints and outputs forms 6. The form data creation device 1 comprises an input data reading part for reading input data; a form definition reading part for reading form definitions including data structure information and layout information; an external character reading part for reading external character fonts; and a form data creating part for creating the form data 5 based on the input data, form definitions and external character fonts read (form creation data 4) and sending the form data to the form output device 2.
