PDF → Online

Fewer detours. More completed forms.

PDF in the browser: not every function comes along.

The built-in PDF viewer does not always support calculations, validation rules or dynamic fields. Values can be missing, calculations skipped, data incomplete or wrong.

Fill in directly in the browser

HTML: check entries right in the browser.

Required fields, plausibility checks and server-side calculations catch errors before the form is forwarded – with no dependence on the PDF viewer.

Responsive on every device

Implement EU accessibility deliberately.

The applicable requirements of EN 301 549 V4.1.1 with WCAG 2.2 can serve as the basis: keyboard operation, clear labels, accessible error messages.

Clear input guidance

Forwarding that fits the procedure.

PDF results go to defined recipients; with Enterprise, structured data can also go to a JSON service. Transmission route and formats are agreed in advance.

Keep the PDF as the result

PDF → HTML

PDF or HTML? The difference when filling in.

Online HTML forms guide people through the input – in the browser on smartphone, tablet and computer. The finished result can still be a PDF.

Standards for form and result

HTML forms: EN 301 549 / WCAG 2.2

Built to the applicable requirements of EN 301 549 V4.1.1, which refers to WCAG 2.2 for web content. Scope and conformity are agreed and checked per form.

Accessible PDF results: PDF/UA-1

PDF/UA-1 (ISO 14289-1) describes accessible PDFs. Structure and reading order are considered during creation and review.

Long-term archiving: PDF/A-1a

PDF/A-1a (ISO 19005-1) is for long-term archiving with structure information. Archiving and accessibility are checked separately.

Functions and output formats are implemented and checked per project. HTML or a PDF format alone does not prove conformity; no conformity certificate exists yet for the Formwaro solution.
