Don’t Limit Access to Government Services with PDF Forms

Citizens often need to complete 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.

Convert Fillable PDF Public Service Forms into HTML Forms

FormVu is an SDK for developers to convert fillable PDF forms into HTML forms

HTMLConversionOptions conversionOptions = new HTMLConversionOptions();
// Set conversion options here e.g. conversionOptions.setImageScale(1.2f);

FormViewerOptions viewerOptions = new FormViewerOptions();
// Set FormViewer options here e.g. viewerOptions.setEnableFDFJavaScript(true);

File input = new File("C:/MyDocument.pdf");
File output = new File("C:/MyOutputDirectory/");

PDFtoHTML5Converter converter = new PDFtoHTML5Converter(input, output, conversionOptions, viewerOptions);

try {
    converter.convert();
} catch (PdfException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}
java -Xmx512M -jar formvu.jar /inputDirectory/ /outputDirectory/

# Or add in custom settings to adjust the output to your preference
java -Dorg.jpedal.pdf2html.exampleSettingOne=<value> -Dorg.jpedal.pdf2html.exampleSettingTwo=<value> -Xmx512M -jar formvu.jar /inputDirectory/ /outputDirectory/
<?php
// PHP is one of the many languages we support for the web service. Check our support pages to see the full extent

require_once __DIR__ . "/PATH/TO/vendor/autoload.php";

use IDRsolutions\IDRCloudClient;

$endpoint = "https://cloud.idrsolutions.com/cloud/" . IDRCloudClient::INPUT_FORMVU;
$parameters = array(
    //'token' => 'Token', // Required only when connecting to the IDRsolutions trial and cloud subscription service
    'input' => IDRCloudClient::INPUT_UPLOAD,
    'file' => __DIR__ . 'path/to/file.pdf'
);

$results = IDRCloudClient::convert(array(
    'endpoint' => $endpoint,
    'parameters' => $parameters
));

IDRCloudClient::downloadOutput($results, __DIR__ . '/');

echo $results['downloadUrl'];

What Can FormVu Help Governments Achieve?

Improve Public Access to Government Services

FormVu converts fillable PDF forms into HTML forms, hence 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 FormVu, 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.

With FormVu, the government service processing and responce procedure is greatly enhanced.

Easier Integration with Government Platform

Compared to native HTML forms, PDF forms are trickier to integrate into web applications.

With FormVu, 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.
