These are especially important for government required forms that need to be stored. You must provide or download a fillable PDF in order to add and use it in your system. if you have a PDF that you want to make fillable, there are programs that you can find online. There are also downloadable fillable PDFs online. You can include these fillable PDFs in your onborading process.
Adding a PDF Template is similar to adding an image, in that they must be uploaded into your system in order to use them anywhere in the onboarding process.
