Converting PDF forms to HTML Programmatically
The online converter is fine for one-off jobs, but if you are batching conversions or building this into an application you will want the API. FormVu is a Java SDK, so you can call it directly from your own code or run it as a self-hosted conversion server that any language can hit over HTTP. The same options exposed in the online tool (text mode, image scale, submit URL, single file output, password handling) are all available programmatically. For setup, method signatures, and the full options reference, see the FormVu developer documentation. If you want to try it against your own forms without committing, start with a free trial.FAQ
Can I convert PDF forms to HTML without uploading them to a third-party server?
Yes. The self-hosted FormVu license runs the conversion on your own infrastructure, so form data never leaves your environment. This is the usual choice for forms containing personal or regulated data.Does the converted HTML form still submit data like the original PDF?
Yes. Field values, validation, and the submit action are preserved. Set the submit URL at conversion time (in the online tool or via the API) to point the form at your own endpoint.Can I convert many forms at once?
The online converter is capped at 5 files per day. For batch or high-volume conversion, use the API or a self-hosted server, which have no such limit.Is FormVu free?
