Rating: - Horrible Customer Service
I bought this item to upgrade my older version of Omniform. Upon receiving the item it would not install on my new Windows Vista Computer. I called customer service and after waiting 38 minutes and being told that I was allowed only 1 free technical service call and that all subsequent calls would cost me $20.00 per call, I was told that this product would not work with Windows Vista and that it would never work with Vista that I should return the product to whomever I purchased it from. So I did, ... Read More

Rating: - Omniform- Be warned! it will crash
The omniform forms are touted as forms that work as databases. NEVER use omnform form's built in database. Omniform forms have a ridiculously low file size limit of about 4.5MB and will crash without warning. Calculations such as subtracting time A from time B and displaying time lapsed will not work and return error messages. Not worth the price. However if the company bothers to read all the horrible crash stories,they might think of tying the form to an open source embedded database(which should ... Read More

Rating: - Horrible Product
I am really thinking of returning it to Amazon. I think I will stick with good-'ol MS Word. You see I wanted a 12-page form and spent two days creating it. It's a form to survey boats so it also had graphic areas for photos (about 12). Well, all seemed fine until you printed a filled form to .pdf. The size of the created .pdf was near 10MB! (Similary done with MS word resulted in a 1.2MB finished .pdf). Well, I can't be e-mailing 10MB files!
I also recieved the book for the 5.0 filler which says ... Read More

Rating: - Missing some features, has a learning curve, overall good
I really like OmniForm 5. Actually I'm using version 5.1 and I'm very satisfied with it.

I was using another forms program I had purchased that was adequate but not nearly as good. After using FormTool I have a much greater appreciation of OmniForm.

ScanSoft has been on my list of not to buy software recently because of some of the poor performance of some of their other programs, tech support is expensive from ScanSoft and none of their software that I have used have been ... Read More

Rating: - Sadly, almost the only game in town
Given the established company (Scansoft) who makes it, and the fact that it's version 5.0, you'd think that this product must pretty much do everything to do with forms and repair the kitchen sink. Not so.

I'm a novice user to forms software and after only 2 days I have a list of "features wanted" that could not fit on this email. To cite a few; a very limited autofill and formatting features, very limited ability make buttons, macro scripts, and missing features such as a pop-up calendars ... Read More
