Abstract: A form management server computer (“server”) and processing methods are disclosed. In some embodiments, the server is programmed to cause presentation of a result of identifying form elements from an image of a form and allow correction of the result or specification of actions to be performed on the form elements. The server is programmed to then receive a new image of a new form, identify form elements in the new form from the new image, and determine actions to be performed on the form elements in the new form based on the specification of actions for previously processed forms.
