Form quality affects your digitization request. Help us help you make beautiful forms!
In our ongoing mission to take the work out of paperwork, we're constantly seeking ways to assist you in digitizing your forms, making your processes more efficient, and ensuring that document management becomes a seamless part of your operations. Properly submitting forms for digital conversion is crucial to achieving high-quality results. Here are essential tips and tricks for submitting forms that can significantly enhance our ability to help you convert your documents into digital e-fillable forms, ensuring a smooth and efficient digital transformation process.
Stick to PDF or DOCX Formats
Let’s start with file type: For best results, stick to PDF or DOCX format. These formats are widely recognized and compatible with most digital document management systems, including our own. They maintain the integrity of your document's layout, fonts, and images, facilitating a smoother conversion to digital forms.
Original Digital Creations Are Key
We highly recommend submitting forms that are the original digital creations. This means files that were created and saved directly from a word processor, form builder, or any digital creation tool, rather than being a scanned copy of a printed document. Original digital files typically have better clarity and structure, which are essential for efficient digitization. A scan of a scan will not have the same level of quality as the original.

High-Quality Scans for Paper Forms
In cases where digital originals are not available and scanning is the only option, it's important to ensure that these scans are high quality. We advise scanning at a minimum resolution of 500 dpi. High-resolution scans significantly improve readability and allow for more accurate digitization. Low-resolution forms often result in decreased readability, making the digitization process more challenging.

Avoid Skewed Forms
Skewness in scanned forms not only affects the look of the document, but also severely hampers the digitization process. Before submitting, please review your scans to ensure they are straight and properly aligned. Skewed forms lead to a misalignment of digital fields, making the document appear disorganized and unprofessional. Ensure your forms are nice and square for the best results!
