Last Updated: April 07, 2026

With Forms you can easily create digital forms without code by using drag-and-drop functionality. You can create and edit form templates to effectively collect data and signatures. Use Intelligent Print Automation to streamline data capture and seamlessly direct that captured data to workflows, print, and more. Digital forms are an indispensable resource for optimizing data collection and processes management. Some benefits of digital forms include the following:

  • Customizable fields and validation rules ensure efficient and accurate data collection.
  • Forms eliminates errors and illegible handwriting.
  • Easily share a form link, or embed a form on your web page.
  • Forms integrates with Workflow to support business-process automation.

How Forms Works

When you receive a form, you open it in a browser, enter the requested information, and review your information for completeness. After you submit the form, the results are captured for review, captured for reporting, or used in the next step of the process.

Types of Forms
