Alternative PDF creation options

I seen a form creator app (similar to GoCanvas) that allows output to a existing word doc, rtf, or even an excel form.  It would be nice If you could take an existing form (in any format) and convert it/build a GoCanvas App with the same questions and answers as the existing form. Instead of GoCanvas outputting to a standard or designer PDF, make it that only the answer fields from the app builder appear in small windows (that you place) on the existing PDF or even in the form fields on an Adobe PDF form.

  • Hi Keith,

    I know that our Custom PDF team can export as a bunch of different file types, including word doc. For the rest of the request, if I'm understanding it correctly, you might be able to do that using Zapier (I've seen some google sheets that look like PDFs that basically do what you're asking, and then you could export that sheet as something else).

  • I support a concept similar to Keith. I would propose that you have the option to output any data input into a particular app in multiple ways. For example, if I create an estimate for a job, I would want a PDF output that is both for internal consumption (with all my costs, rates, assumptions, etc) and for external consumption (customer facing - what they need to know with the details). 

    Since gocanvas is currently optimized to output PDFs, this is where I would start. 

    In a perfect world, I can output this same data to a host of applications - word, powerpoint, excel, etc. as Keith proposes above.
