This job was to create a job jacket; a form that was usually taped or stapled to a manila envelope that contained  scraps of info about that particular print job. The form evolved from writing info on the folder with a sharpie, Xerox hard copies, to acrobat forms. I was fortunate enough to have the ingenuity to build interactive forms within Acrobat. We eventually moved the mocked up process, and commenting/revsions, to be handled by acrobat also. This ievenually led to our paperless office.
I eventually built out job jackets for microsites we started creating as add-ons to jobs. The microsites eventually became a vertical within the company , and evolved into a business in its own right.
This one was tricky because if I set up all fields, it would have been way too long, so it became interacted by “adding instances” of certain fields depending on the selection of the user. This form was important to our operations department because they continued to keep printing costs lost by continuing to seek out new venders, this form aided in the process of capturing information from the vendor,
As the product offerings grew for PERQ Software, so did the need for customer forms. Until the software could build the forms within the program, the forms needed to be meticulousy made.
