Fill PDF Forms Online gives each Airtable record a link where a user can complete a fillable PDF template in the browser. The submitted PDF is saved as an attachment on the associated record.
What you can do
- Upload a PDF template containing fillable fields.
- Generate record-specific PDF form links through an Airtable formula.
- Save the completed document into a selected output attachment field.
Use cases and examples
A team can share a record’s link to collect information directly into a standard PDF document. The completed document stays attached to that record for review without manually downloading and re-uploading it.
- PDF-only intake: Let users fill out a PDF template from a record-specific link when the completed document is needed but the entered answers do not need separate Airtable fields.
- Structured data plus PDFs: When answers are needed in separate Airtable fields, use miniExtensions Form to collect them and the PDF Generator automation to create the document afterward.
How to get started
Upload the fillable template, select the output attachment field, and copy the generated PDF Form URL formula into Airtable. Test a sample submission and confirm the resulting document before sharing links.
Good to know
The result is a completed PDF attachment, rather than values in separate Airtable fields. Use a dedicated output field.
