Wacom CLB Paper Manual

Overview

CLB Paper is the application you use when filling out a paper form on a Wacom Clipboard (PHU-111). While you write on the paper form the pen trace is reproduced in real time in CLB Paper. When you save the completed form the pen trace is saved in a PDF document with field contents converted to the specified format of text, biometric signature or freehand drawing. The field definitions are made using the companion application CLB Create which produces the document template PDF files used by CLB Paper. The barcode printed on a form links the paper copy to the electronic PDF document template.

In normal operation follows these steps:

  • Start CLB Paper
  • Connect a Wacom Clipboard
  • Insert a printed paper form – CLB Paper displays the corresponding PDF template document identified by a barcode
  • Fill out the form on the Wacom Clipboard using the pen supplied – pen ink is reproduced in real time on the CLB Paper display
  • On completion save the form

Icons displayed in the status area have this meaning:

  • Wacom Clipboard connected
  • OneDrive is connected and synchronized
  • Filter the display of digital PDF template documents (signed/unsigned)
  • Save the filled out form
  • Select the digital certificate
  • Change Settings

To quit a process in CLB Paper such as form filling, use the close icon:

CLB Paper uses Bluetooth® for connection to the Wacom Clipboard and shows the status:

  • a Wacom Clipboard is connected
  • a Wacom Clipboard is not connected

Follow on-screen instructions to connect a Wacom Clipboard – the Bluetooth® device must be paired with CLB Paper. If you have more than one Wacom Clipboard you can pair with one from a list.

warningTo save battery charge the Wacom Clipboard automatically powers off when not in use.
If the Clipboard is not connected turn on the device then use the Settings...Pair Clipboard operation. A solid blue LED on the device indicates a successful connection.

Insert a printed form

The printed form is first prepared by the companion application CLB Create. During this process fields requiring pen input are identified as active fields and a unique barcode is added to the page header for identification, for example:
Insert a printed form - Step 1

Press down on the clip bar then fully insert the page in the leftmost position. When the clip is released the barcode, now beneath the clip bar, is scanned and transmitted to CLB Paper for identification.

CLB Paper searches for the same barcode in the document templates. When the corresponding document has been found the green LED on the Clipboard is turned on and the PDF template is displayed showing the active fields, for example:
Insert a printed form - Step 2

Fill out the form

Fields which require pen input are highlighted with a grey background.
Those fields which must be completed are starred:
As you write on the form, pen ink is displayed in real time in CLB Paper.

To abandon the form, use the close icon then select Abandon Changes.

Save the form


Press and hold the icon for 2 seconds to seal the document.
Alternatively press the Process button on the Wacom Clipboard.

Follow on-screen prompts to seal the form with your digital certificate. You will be prompted if any required fields have not been completed and you can choose to continue or return to form filling.
The original document template PDF is saved as a sealed document, signed with your digital certificate and containing the addition of pen data converted to the specified field type of text, signature or freehand drawing.

When you log in to OneDrive you will select two OneDrive folders:

  • Location for template storage - the folder contains the template documents generated by the companion application CLB Create and read by CLB Paper. The templates contain the identifying barcodes and the active field definitions.
  • Location for documents storage – the folder is used by CLB Paper to save documents filled out and sealed by the application.

Select one of the available folders, for example:
Settings - OneDrive - Working online/offline

The cloud icon displays the status as follows:

  • OneDrive is connected and synchronized
  • OneDrive is synchronizing
  • OneDrive is not synchronized
  • OneDrive is logged out – CLB Paper is offline

To work offline, for example when an internet connection is not available, use settings to Log out from OneDrive.

When offline operation is selected the application continues to use its internal copy of OneDrive files. When OneDrive is again connected the files will be synchronised automatically with the cloud. If required, the template and document files can be accessed using the iTunes app on a Mac.
