Hello, I have some questionnaires that my clients are required to fill in prior the consultation; I would like to make their life easier, and I was wondering if there is a way that allows people to fill the questionnaire directly in the file without having to print the file and scanning it. Any ideas? 🙂 ---

Of course. There are plenty of ways to do this but I use [FormsPlus](https://chillidogsoftware.com/products/stacks/formsplus) from Chillidog. You can see an example [here](https://www.hovewebdesign.com/checklist/index.php). Rob ---

Hi, You can do that with Rapidweaver. But I suggest you look as a backend (where data is stored) at something like Google Forms, where a normal spreadsheet is displayed as a “Form”. This form then you can embedd in Rapidweaver or any other webdesign. Look at [Airtable.com](http://Airtable.com) too…I suggest GoogleForms however because it is free. ---

Machform is another option. It also can turn the online form into a PDF automatically ---

I know you are a Foundation user, the form stacks that come with Foundation should allow you to do this too. ---

Hi all, Thank you so much for your help and suggestions. What I am looking for is NOT something that will be on my site, but it’s like a file/document that I send to people. I don’t actually need the form to be online. It should a offline file that contain a questionnaire: at the moment I have it in PDF and Word doc. I am not keen in using the Word document because people can modify stuff and it can be a bit messy; the pdf is cool, but people cannot write on it. And so they need to print the file, fill it up, scan it and send it back to me. I was wondering it you know of any way I can do this: where I can send a file as a document, but people can fill the document with informations, without touching my writing. It would awesome if you have something in mind where I can also apply some design to it, such as my colour branding, logo etc. like in the footer, or at the top for example. ---
