Why do you need Fillable Forms?

PDF Forms is a powerful and easy way for anyone to create a form that can be sent out to end users to collect data. Pre NPAPI days the data filled from the PDF Forms could have been easily submitted to a form and any application hosting the form could have collected data that the user entered. But with browsers enforcing NPAPI restrictions, this is no more possible.

VectorViewer's Fillable Forms module makes this possible and the same old PDF Form can now be used in any browser. VectorViewer's powerful PDF engine converts the PDF Form on the fly to a HTML format without loosing any fidelity of the document. Users can now enter data as if its a regular HTML form and the application hosting this form can collect the data entered by the user.

How do you create Fillable Forms?

VectorViewer's fillable form is a complete end to end solution where in clients can pickup already available PDF Forms, upload it to VectorViewer's Dashboard, write advanced business rules around the form using the Forms Designer and once everything looks good, the form can be Published.

Published Fillable Form can be now sent to end users either as a standalone form or can be easily integrated with any existing enterprise application using VectorViewer APIs and the submitted data is saved to the cloud for future references.
