Short answer

What this workflow does

PDF-to-form AI reads document content and maps relevant values into a form's defined fields. DodoForm supports up to five PDFs per intake, limits each file to 10 MB and the combined set to 25 MB, and requires the respondent to review the extracted values before submitting.

Working example

The pain

  • Teams copy names, dates, totals, and reference numbers from PDFs into forms.
  • Multiple documents make duplicate data entry slower and less consistent.
  • Black-box extraction is risky when nobody verifies the result.

How DodoForm solves it

  • Attach up to five PDFs to one public-form intake.
  • Extract document values directly into the fields your form already defines.
  • Keep the review screen between AI extraction and final submission.
