Why convert your PDF to a web form:
Taking your existing PDF form and transforming it to an online PDF form adds various benefits to your operation and empowers teams to improve the way they work and collect better data. Not only can fillable PDFs add new data types with the help of powerful drag and drop features, but can also automate workflows and processes that help operations increase efficiency and productivity. 

For example, when a form is completed what happens to that rigid paper document? There is a manual process of either rekeying information back into business systems or faxing to clients or colleagues. Moral of the story is there are manual processes in place that allow too many opportunities for human error, extra administrative burdens, or even lost files, resulting in inefficient processes. 

By digitizing your PDFs to fillable forms, once the digital form is completed, it can be automatically routed to colleagues, clients, teammates and more, eliminating opportunities for human error and misplaced files. Due to the automatic nature of digital forms, your operation is streamlined and now leaves room for your operation to report on data collected from those forms, improving analytics and analysis, and allowing your team to quickly pinpoint additional opportunities and any obstacles.
