Before processing forms, create a form set with one or more blank forms to compare against your filled-in forms.
A form set is a collection or "set" of blank form images. For each form in the set, there is a set of properties that apply to all filled form images that are processed against a form set. The ScanFix Xpress properties and Identify properties are applied to processing of filled-in images prior to identification.
The FormDirector component used by FormAssist, has the ability to read, edit and write form set files. FormDirector saves form set files with the default extension .frs.
