The Benefits of using Interactive e-Forms

Once an interactive e-form has been properly designed, programmed, and published, there are both financial and operational benefits that could be realized by the organization and the individuals filling the forms. Although most types of e-forms share some core benefits, the all-inclusive list of benefits described below apply to fillable interactive e-forms.

  • A more pleasant and easier form-filling experience.

  • Reduction or elimination of form-filling errors.

  • More efficient workflow through the electronic submission of captured data.

  • Reduced manual data input and cost at the processing level.

  • Ability to improve and update a form at anytime.

  • No cost for paper printing, distribution and handling.

  • Environmentally friendly initiative by less paper-printing.

  • Ability to post e-forms on the web for easier accessibility.

  • Improved customer service through faster processing times.

  • Option to print if and when wet signature is required.

As more organizations start appreciating the value and benefits of interactive PDF e-forms, it is very important that there is a conscientious effort to exploit the intrinsic power and flexibility of this technology. Today it is possible to program sufficient intelligence for validations and computations that the data collected from a PDF e-form can be immediately passed on for processing with minimal manual input and verification. The implications are that the role of an e-form can also serve as a primary source of electronic data input.
