The present application describes systems and methods for composing documents using a digital pointing instrument. In further configurations, a user utilizes a pen to partially fill in a form and provide destination data whereby a forms processor adds additionally required information to the form in order to compose a complete form that is sent to the destination.

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for composing a document comprising: receiving captured strokes made by a user with a pointing instrument on an input form that include indications of data including document type data, form input data and command data; processing the strokes in order to determine destination indication data; processing the strokes in order to determine input data, and composing the document using the document type data to select the form of the document from a selection of at least two different form types, wherein the input form comprises a different format than the document and using the input data to populate the document; and sending the document to a destination. 2. The method of claim 1 wherein the pointing instrument is a digital pen and strokes are provided by a user writing on a media having a pattern. 3. The method of claim 2 further comprising: capturing user authentication information related to the user. 4. The method of claim 3 wherein: the user authentication information includes biometric data. 5. The method of claim 4 wherein: the biometric data includes pen stroke data including stroke pressure, stroke speed and pen attitude. 6. The method of claim 2 wherein the command data includes an indication of a send form data command. 7. The method of claim 6 wherein the send form data command is indicated by the user writing a stroke in a segregated field of the media. 8. The method of claim 2 further comprising: determining a template for the form using the strokes and the pattern, wherein the template determination utilizes the pattern. 9. The method of claim 5, further comprising: determining additionally required data; and revising the form. 10. The method of claim 9, further comprising: determining additionally required data using the input data; determining ambiguous additionally required data; and revising the form to include at least two versions of the additionally required data. 11. The method of claim 10, further comprising: receiving choice data from the user; revising the form in response to the choice data; and sending the revised form using the destination indication data. 12. A system for composing a document comprising: a processor; a storage device connected to the processor; the storage device storing a logic program; the processor operative with the logic program to perform: receiving captured strokes made by a user with a pointing instrument on an input form that include indications of data including document type data, form input data and command data; processing the strokes in order to determine destination indication data; determining a template for the form using the strokes and the pattern; processing the strokes in order to determine input data; composing the document using the document type data to select the form of the document from a selection of at least two different form types, wherein the input form comprises a different format than the document and using the input data to populate the document; sending the document to a destination; processing the strokes in order to determine a recipient designated by the strokes; capturing user authentication information related to the user; and wherein the command data includes an indication of a send form input data command. 13. The system of claim 12 wherein: the user authentication information includes biometric data. 14. The system of claim 13 wherein: the biometric data includes pen stroke data including stroke pressure, stroke speed and pen attitude. 15. The system of claim 14 wherein the data includes an indicator of additionally required data, further comprising the processor operative with the logic program to perform: identifying the additionally required data; authenticating the user using the user authentication information; and verifying user permission to access the additionally required data. 16. The system of claim 15, further comprising the processor operative with the logic program to perform: determining additionally required data; and modifying the form using the additionally required data.
