How to create forms from PDFs with AI

Build forms using artificial intelligence

Written by Jessica Franco

With this feature, you can automatically generate forms from text instructions or PDF files, saving time on manual creation.


🚀 How to access it?

From the web platform:

Forms > Create > AI Form Builder

📌 How does it work?

You can create a form in two ways:

1. Create from a PDF

  1. Click “Upload PDF”.

  2. Select the file you want to convert.

  3. The AI will analyze the document and automatically detect the fields.

Ideal for digitizing existing forms.

2. Create from text

Describe the form you need, for example:

“Vehicle inspection checklist with photos and signature”

The AI will automatically generate:

  • The form structure

  • The questions

  • Suggested response types

3. Edit and iterate on the form

Once the form has been generated, you can:

  • Add, delete, or edit questions

  • Adjust field types

  • Reorganize the structure

  • Preview the form (Preview)

💡 You can iterate as many times as needed before importing it.

4. Import to DataScope

Once the form is ready:

  1. Click Import.

  2. The form will be saved to your account.

  3. You can continue editing it in the Form Editor.
