Abstract:
1. A system, including one or more processors and memories, for processing a form completed by a user, comprising: an originating system associated with an originator; a client system; a center system; a form-handling software module resident in the client system and comprising computer-executable code for sending a request from the user to the originating system for a requestor-specific form, which is embodied in a first, electronic transmission format, the originating system thereupon transmitting to the center system corresponding, automatically extractable data, along with a command to produce an instance of the requestor-specific form including the automatically extractable data a form-processing software module resident in the center system and comprising computer-executable code for storing an association of the unique, request-specific identifier with the specific instance of the requestor-specific form, for receiving, via a publicly accessible transmission channel, the specific instance of the requestor-specific form after handling by the user in a second transmission format, which is different from the first transmission format and allows for off-line handling, for comparing the unique, request-specific identifier of the received requestor-specific form against the association, and for automatically routing an image of the received requestor-specific form to a destination indicated in a corresponding entry in a configuration file.
