Transform PDFs and images into fillable forms

Zoho Forms has always been at the forefront of form creation, and now, with the newly introduced Convert PDF to Form feature, transforming documents into interactive online forms has become effortless and impactful. Whether you are a business professional, an educator, or a healthcare provider, this tool is designed to transform how you digitize and customize forms. 

Imagine having a stack of paper forms or images containing form details. Recreating these manually for online use can be tedious and error-prone. With Zoho Forms, you no longer have to spend hours designing and formatting forms from scratch. Simply drag and drop your file, whether it is a PDF, JPG, JPEG, or PNG, and watch it transform into an editable, interactive form!

Why choose this feature for creating online forms? 

Save hours of manual effort 

Why spend hours manually recreating forms when Zoho Forms can do it for you in seconds? With its intelligent automation, Zoho Forms transforms your static documents into interactive, editable forms, sparing you the hassle of repetitive tasks. For example, you have a PDF form that you want to send to a customer in an editable format. 

Instead of painstakingly identifying and adding each field yourself, let Zoho Forms do it for you. The system automatically detects and maps out essential form elements like text boxes for customer comments, dropdowns for ratings, or checkboxes for preferences. This means you can skip the tedious work and focus on refining the form to meet your exact requirements. 

Flexible customization for every scenario 

Zoho Forms’ intuitive form builder lets you optimize every detail. Add, remove, or rearrange fields, or incorporate advanced features like conditional logic to make your forms smarter and more responsive. 

For example, an event organizer can take a static PDF registration form and not only digitize it but also enhance it by adding secure payment options for online ticket purchases. This ensures a smooth and professional experience for attendees while reducing manual effort for the organizer. 

Dynamic themes and branding 

Stand out by customizing your form’s appearance to match your brand. With Zoho Forms, you can apply vibrant themes, tweak fonts, and include your company logo to create forms that look as professional as they are functional. 

Effortless sharing and accessibility 

Once your form is ready, share it effortlessly through email, social media, or embed it on your website. With Zoho Forms, your digitized forms are responsive, allowing users to interact with them from any device.

Use cases for converting PDFs and images into forms 

Converting handwritten receipts or forms into digital forms 

In industries like retail, healthcare, or event management, handwritten receipts or forms are often the norm. With Zoho Forms, you can take a picture of a handwritten document, whether it's a receipt or a registration form, and instantly convert it into a digital, fillable form. 

For example, a small business owner can snap a photo of a paper receipt and convert it into an electronic form for easy tracking of sales data. Similarly, an event organizer could take a picture of a handwritten registration form and quickly transform it into a digital version for online submission, improving efficiency and customer experience. 

Business operations 

A retail chain that needs to digitize vendor agreements can upload their existing PDF contracts and transform these documents into editable online forms. This enables vendors to sign and submit agreements digitally, which helps streamline operations. 

Educational institutions 

Schools and universities often have admission forms in PDF. By converting them into online forms, administrators can allow prospective students to fill them out online, which reduces paperwork and increases efficiency. 

Government agencies 

Agencies can convert permit applications and other forms to make them accessible to citizens online. This helps cut down long lines at local offices and improves service delivery.
