A GUI (Graphical User Interface) supported specification method for form field extraction and database mapping in a computer system that includes converting(12) a form file into a fixed electronic document format by using a GUI which is used to specify the form file and conversion parameters and extracting(14) fields from the fixed electronic document format by using the GUI that is used to specify the fields to be extracted; and mapping(16)the fields onto the database schema by using a GUI which is used to specify the mapping between the fields and the database schema.
