Before FormPro can capture data from a form it must adjust it to compensate for skew or distortions that usually occur during scanning. The goal is to align all pages with the image of the blank form. For this fine adjustment, FormPro searches the blank form for printed text that is suitable as anchor points. If this crucial fine adjustment fails the cause can be one of the following:

  • The blank form contains no suitable printed text or none at all.
  • The blank form has too low a resolution (< 200 dpi).
  • The blank form was scanned with a different scanner or has been copied before scanning.
  • The blank form was created from an image file that contained invalid resolution information.
  • The fine adjustment was disabled (see Form / Settings / Adjustment).

If one or more of the above apply please switch to Definition View, change your blank form and scan it again with a resolution of 300 dpi using Form / Scan. For image files with invalid resolution information you can correct the resolution using Form / Page Setup. Afterwards, save your form again.
