How to create a fillable PDF form?

You send out a fillable PDF and everyone has to download it, fill it in and send it back. It is hard to fill on a phone, and the answers stay inside each file, so you copy them out by hand. A Google Form is free and fills well on a phone, but it can't keep the look of your document. Formesign reads your PDF and builds a web form from it that people fill in on any device, and each response is kept as a PDF for your records. You share one short link and every response comes back to one place, not one file at a time.

Let's start. Create your form and follow the steps below.

Fillable PDFs are great for creating simple, professional forms that make it easy to collect information, but they also have limitations such as poor mobile usability, limited ability to edit responses and a lack of real-time analytics, automatic data storage and collaboration features.

You can also set up your form to automatically generate a response PDF and sync it to your google drive or email it as an attachment. Click here to learn more.
