How do I make caregivers fill in a form on the PDF instead of a list of questions?

In the Form builder, attach the PDF, place the questions on it and choose On the real PDF under How it gets filled in.

Short answer

In the Form builder, attach the PDF with Attach a PDF, place the questions on it with Place fields on it, then under How it gets filled in choose On the real PDF and save. Caregivers then fill the boxes on the PDF itself, on their visit and through a visit link, without a separate list of questions.

Step by step

  1. Open Forms and edit the form.
  2. Under How it gets filled in, tap Attach a PDF and choose the file.
  3. Tap Place fields on it and put each question on its spot on the page.
  4. Choose On the real PDF and save the form.

Good to know

  • The other choices: As a web form shows only the questions. Let them choose lets the caregiver pick.
  • No PDF attached: On the real PDF needs one. The builder says so under How it gets filled in.
  • Printing: A filled form prints as the original PDF with the answers on it.
