Paper checklists and manual data entry slow down field operations

Engineering and technical teams have detailed checklists, inspection forms, and maintenance records - often as PDFs or printed templates that have been refined over years. The manual step of digitizing results afterward introduces delays and errors.

Doc2Form converts existing documents into Google Forms. Upload a PDF or Word file up to 5 MB and it detects the structure - checkboxes, pass/fail fields, text areas, dropdowns - and builds the matching form in your Drive. Technicians fill it out on mobile in the field; responses are immediately available in a linked Sheets spreadsheet.

No document? Use describe mode: type a description of the form you need and get a working starting point.

Structured data, automatically aggregated

Every Google Form links to Sheets. Inspection results, maintenance records, and safety sign-offs all land in one spreadsheet without manual consolidation. Reporting becomes faster when the data is already structured.

Common questions

Can technicians use this on mobile in the field?

Yes. Google Forms works on any device with a browser. No app installation needed. Responses submit even on intermittent connections if the form was previously loaded.

Can it handle complex multi-section checklists?

Yes. Documents with clear sections produce forms with corresponding sections. Check-box lists, rating scales, and text fields are all detected when the source document is well-formatted.

What if the checklist varies by equipment type?

Create one base form and duplicate it in Drive for each variant. Adjust the specific questions and keep the structure consistent.

Does it cost anything?

The first form is free, no credit card required. Credit packs are available after that. The project is open source for teams that prefer to self-host.
