It relies on the layout that the document had when the project was
created. The LaTeX class writes out all the information (look at the
questionnaire.sdaps file) which is parsed by SDAPS and stored
internally. So it is impossible to change the layout/questionnaire after
the setup step.

SDAPS needs to know the exact location of all the checkboxes. It also
requires the barcodes and corner marks to be exactly as it expects them
to be.
You really need to do everything with the utilities provided by SDAPS,
using a print/scan of another (similar) document together with SDAPS is
*not* possible.

Hope this answers your question,
Benjamin
