Fill Out PDF Online

Your customers fill out the PDF. No printer, no scanner.

The usual path is a form to download, a note saying "please fill out and send back," and then waiting. asksteps replaces it with a link: fill out, submit, done — and you end up with the fully completed document.

Works on the phone just as well as on a computer.

How It Works

What Your Customers Experience

  1. 01

    They Open a Link

    No downloading, no app, no PDF editing software. The form opens in the browser — embedded on your website or under its own address.

  2. 02

    They Fill Out What Applies to Them

    Large fields, the right keyboard on the phone, visible progress. Anything required is flagged right away instead of only after submission.

  3. 03

    They Sign, If Needed

    If the document has a signature field, it's set on the screen with a finger or the mouse.

  4. 04

    They Submit — You Get the PDF

    The submission appears in your inbox immediately. One click, and you have the original document with all the entered information.

Form Builder

Forms built from rows, columns, and steps.

Drag elements from the palette onto the canvas, arrange them in rows and columns, and spread them across multiple steps. Required fields are checked per step — if you miss one, you find out right away, not only after submitting.

  • Multi-step, with a progress indicator and a back button
  • Rows with multiple columns, elements placed by drag and drop
  • Export entire forms as JSON and import them again

Inbox

Every submission in one place.

Submissions with a processing status and a note, free-text search, uploaded attachments, and the completed PDF to download. For spreadsheets, there's a CSV export.

  • Status: new, open, done, and archived
  • CSV export in the semicolon-separated format used by German spreadsheet applications
  • Key metrics and a 30-day time series

What This Changes

Complete Submissions

Required fields can't be skipped. You no longer get documents where half of the second page is left blank.

Legible Instead of Handwritten

Typed text is always legible. That saves the callbacks that only exist to clarify a single digit.

Back to You Faster

The route via printer, scanner, and mail takes days. A link takes minutes — and no one forgets it on their desk.

Everything in One Place

Submissions collect in the inbox: with status, notes, and search. You can export them as CSV for your spreadsheet.

Multilingual Too

You can offer the same form in five languages — helpful anywhere not everyone involved is a native German speaker.

Files Included

Wherever proof is needed, your customers upload it right along with the form. Attachments stay with their submission.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions About Filling It Out

Do my customers need an account?

No. They open the link, fill it out, and submit. Only you need an account, to build the forms and see the submissions.

What if someone stops partway through?

Then the submission isn't sent and doesn't show up for you. There's currently no way to save progress and continue later — that's one reason to keep the form short or build it as a funnel.

Where is the data stored?

In your asksteps installation's database, along with any uploaded attachments. The filled-out PDF itself isn't stored — it's generated at download time.

Can I get a notification?

Yes, an email is sent whenever there's a new submission.

Does the form look like my company's?

Yes. You set the colors, shapes, and typography; from the Starter plan onward, you can remove the asksteps branding.
