Pretty neat. I can see this being a huge time-saver. Whenever I have to fill out these kinds of forms, I always wish there were a central API that doctors / dentists / etc. could pull my information from. I also think that it's silly to write it on a piece of paper that someone else, then, has to enter into their database.
May I ask what you are using to generate the PDFs? I am working on a project to help science fair students fill out their ISEF paperwork and am using the pdfkit gem which seems to work pretty well. Looks like you might be doing something similar—especially when you're placing fields on an image background (fax).
"... I always wish there were a central API that doctors / dentists / etc. could pull my information from."
Took the words right out of my mouth. The long-term goal would for this to become the definitive single sign-on solution for any medical registration scenario.
As for PDF generation, happyhealth does use pdfkit.
