Basha's Opinion
GhostFill represents the ultimate document assembly software platform for high end systems. The product is peerless in its
ability to re-use objects, define rules, behaviours and interviews.
Most importantly, its connectivity features with any ODBC compliant
data source are unmatched in the document assembly offerings today.
If GhostFill has any shortcoming, it lies in the massive
document assembly developer toolkit; GhostFill can be used "easily" and
"simply" but it is not designed for this purpose. A user with no previous
programming or document assembly experience would find it difficult to
pick up GhostFill and start producing templates. To be brutally honest,
GhostFill is designed for high end systems and systems that require large
amounts of data connection. Definitely not for the document assembly tinkerer.
