Hi Arsalan here is an interesting thought that I once wanted to implement but unfortunately never had the time for. So the idea I had was to generate the FlowDocument object  which would define a form at runtime. But instead of creating some sort of a Toolbox that user would need to learn how to use I was thinking of allowing users to create a Word document with the required form fields text formatting  layout etc. and then he would load that document into an application which would convert it to a FlowDocument object. For starters I can recommend you this great article that shows how to convert DOCX to WPF's FlowDocument  note that it is just a starting point because that article is missing support for reading form fields from DOCX so you need to add that. Nevertheless if interested in this let me know and I will provide you all that I remember about this idea.
