Convert PDF Forms to Interactive Web Forms

Upload any PDF form and Formtly converts it into a fully interactive, mobile-friendly web form in seconds. Every text field, checkbox, radio button, dropdown, date picker, signature area, and table is preserved with pixel-perfect accuracy.

Supported PDF Form Types

  • AcroForm — The standard PDF form format used by Adobe Acrobat, Foxit, and PDF-XChange. Fields are embedded in the PDF structure.
  • XFA (XML Forms Architecture) — Advanced forms created with Adobe LiveCycle Designer. Supports dynamic layouts, calculated fields, repeating rows, and conditional visibility.
  • Static PDFs — Non-fillable PDFs with form-like layouts. Formtly detects field positions and creates interactive inputs.

Smart Form: Go Beyond PDF Overlays

Standard PDF conversion gives you interactive fields on top of the original PDF image. Smart Form goes further — it generates a fully structured, editable form from your PDF's content. Real headings, labeled radio groups, text fields with meaningful names, and proper page structure. Rearrange fields, add conditional logic, insert new questions, or switch to conversational mode.

Smart Form is ideal for questionnaires, intake forms, surveys, and any PDF where you want full control over the layout after conversion.
