Works with both fillable and scanned PDFs
How it works
Three steps. No manual field mapping.
Describe the form's purpose
Tell Exepad what the form is for — intake, application, consent, registration — and what should happen when someone submits.
Attach your PDF form
Upload the .pdf. Exepad detects AcroForm fields directly, or runs OCR on scanned forms to identify labels and input zones — no manual mapping.
Publish and share
Your digital form is live. Share the URL, embed it on a site, or send directly to respondents. Submissions flow into the app's database.
Not a fillable PDF.
A working digital form.
Your PDF becomes a real web form with matching fields, typed inputs, validation, and storage — so you stop retyping attachments and start using the data.
Fields matched to your PDF
AcroForm fields are extracted directly. Scanned forms use OCR plus computer vision to identify text boxes, checkboxes, and signature lines.
Submissions stored structured
Every submission becomes a row in a searchable database. No more opening PDFs one by one and transcribing into a spreadsheet.
Email alerts and auto-reply
Your team gets an email on every submission with the extracted data; respondents get an auto-reply with their reference number.
Search and filter submissions
Find any submission by any field value. Saved filter views let you triage incoming records — urgent first, by region, by status.
Submission analytics
See submissions over time, completion rates, and where respondents abandon the form. Fix the field that's losing you data.
Mobile-friendly layout
Forms work on phones as smoothly as desktops. Tap-sized controls replace fiddly PDF form widgets that weren't designed for touch.
Built for PDF forms
Exepad handles the two kinds of PDF forms you actually encounter in the wild.
AcroForm fields extracted directly
If your PDF has actual form fields, Exepad reads the field tree — names, types, defaults, required flags — and reproduces it all faithfully.
Scanned forms handled via OCR
If your PDF is a scan of a paper form, Exepad runs OCR to read labels and computer vision to locate input zones — same output.
Checkboxes, radios, signatures
Boolean fields become checkboxes or radio groups with proper state handling. Signature fields become touch-drawn signatures on mobile.
Multi-page forms become multi-step
A long multi-page PDF becomes a multi-step form with progress indicators — respondents don't face a wall of questions at once.
Fillable PDF vs. Exepad form
A fillable PDF gets emailed around as attachments. A digital form captures the data, stores it, and tells you it arrived — without anyone retyping.
Everything a fillable PDF can't do
A fillable PDF is still a file. A digital form is infrastructure — capturing, validating, storing, and reporting on every submission automatically.
From PDF form to digital form
in one sitting
Your PDF already has the fields. Exepad just makes them typable, storable, and reportable.
Form fields become web inputs
AcroForm text fields, checkboxes, dropdowns, and signature zones are extracted and mapped to HTML inputs with matching behaviour.
Sections become form steps
Distinct pages or sections of the PDF become steps in a multi-step form, keeping long intake processes manageable for respondents.
Submissions become records
Every submission writes a structured record to the app's database — queryable by any field, exportable to any format.
