The pdfFiller add-on for Google Forms™ allows you to automatically transfer responses from Google forms to fillable templates in your pdfFiller account. No more manually typing data into your PDF contracts, agreements and price lists. Create and share a Google form with others and use pdfFiller to collect data right into your template. The add-on addresses two major functions: map fields and parse fields.

Mapping fields means connecting the fields of a Google form to the fillable fields of a template in your pdfFiller account. For example, you can connect several fields in a template with a single question in a Google form to quickly pre-fill an agreement that requires a client’s name on every page.

Parsing fields means creating Google forms based on the specific fillable fields of your template. Just connect questions to fillable fields and create a Google form in a click. As with mapping, once a recipient fills in and submits their data, it is collected and added to your fillable template. Parsing fields comes in handy when your fillable template has many fields and you don’t need to connect all of them to a Google form.

Note: you need a pdfFiller account to use the add-on. Want to try pdfFiller for free? Get your 30-day free trial right now!
