Exit the PDF Forms Dead-End with Secured Signing Form Filler

Turning Static PDFs into Active Workflows

You invested time and effort into adding fillable fields to your PDF forms, hoping to make life easier for your customers. But in reality, traditional fillable PDFs are often a “dead end.” While they can be filled out on a screen, they almost always require the user to print, sign, and scan them back to you.

In this final installment of our series on the new Secured Signing capabilities, we’re showing you how to turn those “decorative” signatures into legally binding, fully digital processes using Form Filler.

Beyond the “Print and Scan” Bottleneck

A massive refresh of the Secured Signing platform has introduced features designed to eliminate administrative friction. If you are just joining us, here is a quick look at what’s new:

• Mobile-First Design: Enhanced support for signing on the go.

• Invitation Rerouting: Flexibility to send documents to the right decision-maker.

• Declination Options: A professional way for invitees to decline an invitation with feedback.

• Multi-Factor Authentication: Options for stronger identity verification.

Maximize Your ROI on Existing PDF Forms

The most significant update for document managers is the ability to directly import fillable PDF forms into our Form Filler tool. You no longer have to choose between a “simple” form and a “complex” one; you can now upgrade what you already have.

Why Form Filler is the Solution for Static PDFs

Secured Signing has always led the way in form capability, and these improvements make the transition to digital seamless:

• Automatic Field Recognition: When you upload your PDF to Form Filler, it recognizes your existing fields and converts them automatically.

• Template Creation: Once converted, save your form as a template for repeated use, ensuring consistency across your organization.

• Zero-Print Workflow: Your customers can fill, sign, and return the document without ever touching a piece of paper.

Dynamic Options: Form Filler vs. Form Direct

Depending on your needs, we offer two paths to digital forms:

1. Form Filler: Best for converting existing printable or fillable PDFs into online-ready documents.

2. Form Direct: Best for complex forms requiring internal logic, “if/then” rules, and data validation via dynamic HTML.

A Better Experience for Your Customers

The biggest winner in this digital shift is the end-user. Traditional PDF forms are notoriously difficult to handle on mobile devices. By converting these to true online forms:

• Any Device, Any Browser: Customers can complete forms on a smartphone, tablet, or PC without needing specialized PDF software.

• Instant Submission: The moment they sign, the document is sealed and returned to you, cutting days off your turnaround time.

Take the Next Step Toward Digital Maturity

Don’t let your fillable PDFs remain a “dead end.” Put them to work and give your customers the modern experience they expect.
