1. A method of transparently decomposing, composing, and/or recomposing documents, the method comprising:
guiding a user, through a series of user-interactive elements, in creating a template or document type having a second source type different from a first source type;
in accordance with input provided via the series of user-interactive elements, selecting an electronic form (e-form);
determining which first source type, among a plurality of different fi…
