Fillable PDF / Acroform

General Q&A
1

Our client is interested in being able to fill out a PDF from directly in their app (government mandated forms). A “display-file” component just displays the PDF and it is not editable:

Whereas if I open it in most other PDF viewing software (e.g. Firefox, Adobe Reader, Chrome) it is editable:

Obviously a user could download the PDF, complete it outside the app, and then upload it when done but this is a much less friendly experience especially on mobile. Any ideas for how to make this happen? Or should we raise an enhancement on the roadmap?

Hi @fthomas

I think using an HTML iFrame client / HTML Bridge implementation for this type of use case is probably best. It seems quite niche to add support on a platform level.

That said, I will make sure the product team knows about the request for future roadmap consideration
