How it works
Three steps. No form-builder tool required.
Describe the form's purpose
Tell Exepad what the form is for — intake, application, consent, survey — and what should happen when someone submits.
Attach your Word document
Upload the .docx. Exepad identifies form-field patterns — labels followed by blanks or checkboxes — and builds matching digital inputs with validation.
Publish and share
Your digital form is live with its own URL. Share the link, embed it on a site, or send directly to respondents. Submissions flow into the app's database.
Not a Word attachment.
A real digital form.
Your document becomes a web form with typed fields, validation, and database storage — so the data comes in clean, searchable, and notified-on-submit.
Fields matched to your document
Labels with blank lines become text inputs. Checkbox patterns become real checkboxes. Signature lines become touch-drawn signatures on mobile.
Submissions stored structured
Every submission writes a row to the app's database — searchable, filterable, exportable. No more transcribing .docx attachments into a spreadsheet.
Email alerts and auto-reply
Your team gets an email on every submission with the fields parsed; respondents get an auto-reply with their reference number.
Search and filter submissions
Find any submission by any field value. Saved filter views help triage incoming records — urgent first, by region, by status.
Submission analytics
See submissions over time, completion rates, and where respondents abandon. Fix the field that's losing you data before it hurts conversion.
Mobile-friendly layout
Forms work on phones as smoothly as desktops. Tap-sized controls, date pickers, and on-screen validation replace Word's unusable mobile view.
Built for Word form documents
Exepad recognises the form patterns common in real-world Word intake documents.
Label + blank line → text input
A label followed by a blank line or underscored space is detected as a text input. Labels become the field's label automatically.
Checkbox patterns → real checkboxes
Patterns like '□ Yes □ No' or empty boxes in the document become real checkbox groups with proper state handling.
Numbered questions → sequential fields
Numbered intake questions become form fields in the same order, with the question text as the label.
Signature lines → touch signatures
Signature line patterns (labelled 'Signature:' followed by a long blank) become touch-drawn signature fields on mobile devices.
Word form vs. Exepad form
A Word form gets emailed around, filled with typos, and retyped into a spreadsheet. A digital form captures clean data on the first submit.
Everything a Word intake document can't do
A Word form captures wishes. A digital form captures data — validated, stored, notified, and ready for action from the first submit.
From Word intake to digital form
in one sitting
Your document already has the questions. Exepad turns them into fields that actually capture answers.
Question text becomes field labels
Labels, numbered questions, and instructions in the document become form field labels with proper formatting.
Sections become form steps
Distinct sections of the intake document become steps in a multi-step form, keeping long processes manageable for respondents.
Submissions become records
Every filled-in form becomes a structured record in the intake database, keyed by whichever identifier you nominate (email, reference, client code) — searchable, taggable, and routed to the right team.
