At the company I used to work for, we did something similar for physician credentialling applications.  We scanned each page of the form and imported the images into separate sections of the report and placed the data on top of the images in the appropriate places on the form. 

 

However, this only works well if you can set up your data so that you have everthing you need in one result "record".  For example, we had problems when the forms had places for board certification entries.  We worked this out in one of two ways, depending on the forms.

 

1.  Create a separate image of the section for each entry, place each in its own subreport, and set up the subreport so that it would count the number of records and only put the second certification in the second subreport, the third cert in the the third subreport, etc.

 

2.  Put "See Attached" on the form and the create a subreport that would go on an extra page that contained all of information for that section of the form.

 

We were working in a version 7 of Crystal (this was > 7 years ago!) and found that the best image format was .tiff.  Sometimes the images looked horrible on the screen, but they printed correctly.  They may have corrected these issues in the newer versions of Crystal, though.
