Create Consent Forms from your PDFs
Gaidge Forms offers consent forms that allow you to maintain the exact layout of your existing PDF document. You simply upload your PDF file, drag and drop fields and signatures onto it, and you are ready to go. These are called Native PDFs.
Adding a New Form
From the Forms menu, select Templates, then under Consent Forms click on Create New.
Enter the Form Name, select Native PDF and click Continue.
Select your PDF file to upload into forms. 
You can add signatures, initials, textboxes, dates, checkboxes and other fields.
The animation below shows how easy it is to upload your PDF and prepare the template by placing the fields in their respective spots.
Once complete you can select other Actions:
When to Use the Native PDF Format?
- When you want to keep the exact layout of your original PDF document.
- When you don't want to spend any time adjusting the layout of the document.
When Not to Use the Native PDF Format?
- When you want to be able to quickly edit the form inside without having to edit the original PDF.
- When you need to use radio buttons in the consent form
- When you need to map date fields back to the client profile.
Just as with classic consent forms, you can add native PDF consent forms to your intake packages, or send them individually. You can also mix both types of consent forms in your forms package.
