Stop retyping intake packets line by line
Intake and registration PDFs mix short answers, dropdowns, checkbox acknowledgments, and section breaks. Copy-paste into Google Forms breaks down around question ten.
Doc2Form reads the structure with Gemini AI and writes a native Google Form in your Google Drive - the same object you would build manually, ready for Sheets export and sharing.
How to convert an intake PDF to a Google Form
- Go to doc2form.dev and sign in with your Google account
- Upload your intake or registration PDF (up to 5 MB)
- Doc2Form detects field types: name blocks, phone/email prompts, dropdowns, checkbox lists, date fields
- Review the Form in Drive, adjust required fields and validation
- Share the link or embed on your site
For Word-based intake packets, use Word to Google Form instead.
What converts well
- Clear section headings (Personal information, Emergency contact, Consents)
- Checkbox lists for policy acknowledgments
- Dropdowns for state, department, or program selection
- Date of birth and appointment date fields
- Signature lines (converted to short text or paragraph acknowledgment fields)
Scanned intake forms can work when text is sharp. See scanned PDF to Google Form for photo uploads.
Limitations
- Doc2Form does not collect legally binding e-signatures. Use a dedicated e-sign tool if that is required.
- Complex multi-column layouts may need manual cleanup.
- File upload questions in the source PDF become text prompts unless you add Google Form file upload fields manually after conversion.
Common questions
Is this HIPAA compliant?
Doc2Form processes your file to build the Form and does not store the PDF afterward. The resulting Form and responses live in your Google account under your Workspace policies. Review BAA and settings with your compliance team.
Can nonprofits use this for online intake?
Yes. Many teams search online intake form for nonprofits when moving off paper. Google Forms plus Sheets is a common free stack for small nonprofits in the US.
What about surveys vs intake forms?
Surveys emphasize scales and feedback. Intake forms emphasize identity fields and consents. Doc2Form handles both; for Likert-heavy PDFs see survey PDF to Google Form.
Is the first conversion free?
Yes. No credit card for your first form. Credit packs apply after that, or self-host the open-source repo.
Upload your intake PDF
