I have service techs in the field that are using an Infopath form for their
service reports. The problem is many customers do not have Infopath on their
computers. So even though my techs can fill in the form put it on a memory
stick and take it to the customer's computer, they cannot open to print it.
Iv'e tried to print to PDF Creator but for some reason that doesn't work
every time.

Do you have any suggestions as to how I can print this form at our customers?

Thanks, I was able to followthe instructions the first link.

I still can't figure out how to put my form from my laptop to a memory stick
then plug the stick into a customer's PC and be able to print the form. I get
a message that the form is looking for "maifest.xsf" in my laptop's C: drive.

I copied the "manifest.xsf" file onto the stick but still had the same alarm.

The best answer for this scenario is, really, InfoPath Forms Services. It's a
brand new server that shipped with MOSS 2007 that lets you publish IP forms
to a SharePoint doc lib, and users can fill out the form by using a
compatible browser (IE, Firefox, Safari). No InfoPath install is necessary in
that case.

Alex, if you notice he is talking about filling out forms when on client
sites, so that probably means he needs offline forms.
Infopath Forms Services would be great for him if:
1. He gets the license to publish them to the internet
2. His customers all have internet access
3. His forms are web-compatible

too many "if"s

Also, I am proud to say I work for a company that wrote a product like
sharepoint forms services but that works with infopath 2003. If you have 2003
forms you want to publish to the web - talk to us: www.uniqueworld.net
