We can create custom PDF forms that suit your needs. Such forms have many advantages. A form filled out electronically looks more professional and is easier to use than a form printed out from a computer and then filled in by hand. It is easier to read, has the ability to enforce standards, and easier for many people to use.
A custom PDF form may serve for collecting data using our PDF Forms Tracker server solution, or just by implementing an e-mail sending script right into the PDF document.

How much such form will cost you? The total price highly depends on many factors: the number of pages in the form, the number of controls on each page, whether you need any validation of entered data or show/hide/disable/enable functionality for controls depending on user input (performed by JavaScript code embedded in PDF), whether you need the form content (tables, or number of pages) to grow dynamically when more data is entered, etc. In some cases it is impossible to predict form cost and we suggest payment by the hour for the work on complicated projects. Below are sample cases that may help you in estimating the price range for your form.
If you need the simplest PDF From, you can fill it out and print just to avoid handwriting. The form has static number of pages and fixed content layout. The form contains graphic or you provide some artwork. You have form layout in MS Word or some other digital format (not scanned image). In this case the form can be completed very fast and its price will depend on the number of fields on the page:
- - less than 50 fields per page - $30 per page
- - 50-200 fields per page – from $30 to $90 per page
Such form will have basic data format validation (phone number format etc) if needed and can be made savable in Adobe Reader. Also such form can contain buttons to print and email the form.
You get interactive form:
- - if you need to disable/enable some form controls depending on the user input (e.g. when selecting gender on medical forms user will not have to fill some fields of the form but will have to fill others);
- - if you need the form to automatically calculate some values on the user input;
- - if you need some custom validation of data input;
- - if you need the form to resize (add rows in some tables or add repeating sections in the form with further possibility to automatically add pages if needed) depending on the amount of data the user adds.
In case of such interactive form its price can vary from $60 per page up to $150 or more. In complex cases we will make individual estimate based on the by the hour payment approach.
When you have a PDF from and want to make changes to it – few factors will affect price for such work:
- - changes that will affect only fields on a page, without a need to make changes in background artwork will cost from $15 per page plus per-hour estimate if programming of interactive features needed;
- - in all PDF forms and in some XFA forms fields are added as separate layer over some background document with all lines and static text, and if you need to edit not only fields and their behavior but also static text and tables in background it will require more work and will be estimated in each individual case;
- - if you need to add a few fields on some page and shift all other fields down and to the next page if needed – in this case all next pages after this change will be affected and will require redesign, then in most cases the price for these changes will be equivalent to prices for creating new page with corresponding functionality.
When you have your PDF form completed you can start using it to fill, print and store data. But in many cases you will need not only to print or save PDF form for future reference but also to store data collected by PDF forms in a database and be able to search this data, make reports and calculations and perform many other analytic tasks.
