How to Design PDF Forms

Overview

Design the layout and appearance of PDF forms to control where populated fields will appear on the submitted form and how they’ll look. Simpro Digital Forms has smart layout functionality that allows you to design the appearance of your PDF forms in seconds. Alternatively, you can build forms from scratch to create a fully customised form from the ground up.

Before designing the layout of submitted PDF forms, you will need to build your forms and decide what information they should capture. Learn more in How to Build Mobile Forms.

Default forms PDFs are made in an advanced designer. Editing these PDFs using the designer may cause some formatting issues. If you would like to try to change the PDF please make a copy of the original form. Learn more in Default Digital Forms.
