Allow the creation automatic creation of documents with forms using a list.
I have a form that needs to be completed by multiple users. The form needs to be completed for each of our kids (There are about 900 of them) I would like to be able to create all of the blank forms for the kids automatically and then have the users complete their individual part in a workflow. The probably that I have is creating all of the forms in mass. I tried to manipulate the form with a powershell script but I couldn't get the field names. I might have a workaround using sendkeys but a way to just import the list directly into docuware would be helpful.

I did find a slight work around but it was still a major pain. I created determined the latest docid and then in my table with all of the kids generic information I created a column with the docid starting with 1 greater than the current highest docid. Then I have the form that I just leave blank and have it go back to the form after submission. Then I just have a workflow match the docid up with the docid in the table with the kids and pull in all of the generic demographics data. Then I just have to keep hitting submit all the time but at least I don't have to enter any data. It would still be nice if I could just import the data and create all of the blank forms.
