Is there a way to automatically grab the rules, in their original, human readable format from an InfoPath 2007 form (probably the manifest.xsf file, they’re not human readable here)? A commercial tool would be fine, even. We’re looking to build a summary of the rules as they appear in the design form for easy browsing by a maintenance team.
There is the Logic Instpector built in to InfoPath that displays a page that lists all the rules, data validation, calculated default values, etc. It can be found under Tools -> Logic Inspector. Unfortunalty, other than pressing the Print button in the top left corner and printing to PDF I see no other way of exporting this information from within infopath.
To get the same sort of info collected into a report format I susspect that you will have to extract the files from the XSN and extract the default values, rules etc.
As for commertial tool a possibility is the qDabra Rules.
I have not used it at all and am not sure if it does export the rules to a human readable format but it should point you in the right direction (I hope)
