PDF forms are costing government agencies time, money, and citizen trust. They’re difficult to fill out on mobile devices, impossible to integrate with modern systems, and create hours of manual data entry work.
The fix? Convert them to HTML!
Accessible Government Forms
Government agencies often need to handle government forms, such as tax forms, license renewals, benefits claims, etc. Many users struggle with downloading, printing, or filling PDF forms.
Government service platform developers also face challenges in collecting PDF form data, since they need to either manually extract it or scan and collect it from printed PDF forms.
What Can HTML Forms Help Governments Achieve?
Improve Public Access to Government Services
By converting PDF forms to HTML forms, citizens no longer need to print out PDFs before filling in them. HTML forms can be displayed across all digital devices (PCs, phones, tablets), which helps with form completion rate.
With HTML forms, the accessibility of public services can be improved.
Accelerate Service Processing and Response Procedure
Data entered into HTML forms can be shared via a submit URL. Developers can instantly see the data from backend, reducing delays from collecting data with manual entry or document scanning.
By using HTML forms, the government service processing and response procedure is greatly enhanced.
Easier Integration with Government Platform
Compared to native HTML forms, it’s trickier to integrate PDF forms into web applications.
Governments can integrate the converted HTML forms into a web application workflow while retaining all their interaction and functionality as well as the look of original PDF forms. Here’s an example video of how we integrate it into our website.
