When a PDF template or overlay template (used with an external document) contains fields that need to be filled in by the customer, a digital form is auto-generated. The customer fills in all fields in this form and then the information is inserted into the document.
When you add a PDF template to a workflow, you have the option of hiding this auto-generated form and replacing it with a custom form. This enables you create a much better customer experience by:
- Branding and customizing the form using the Form Designer
- Combining fields from multiple forms in the workflow into one unified form
In order to replace the auto-generated form, fields in the PDF or overlay must be bound to attributes.
To replace the auto-generated form:
- In the workflow, select the PDF or external document item and click the three dots.
The context menu appears. - Turn off the Use PDF form toggle. An additional setting appears in the context menu.
- Click Select Form.
The form selector window appears. - Select an existing form (including one of the forms already added to the workflow)
-OR-
Click +New Form. - Click Done. The Form Designer opens:
- If you selected an existing form, all fields from the PDF appear in a new section added to the last page.
- If you selected New Form, all fields from the PDF appear in the first section of the first page of a new form.
- Edit the form as needed (see Create forms) and click Save.
- Click the back button to return to the workflow.
If you created a new form, it is added to the workflow.
