Fill in a medical history form online

New-patient forms are long, repetitive and full of tick boxes, and they arrive as a PDF the day before an appointment.

This is also the clearest case for not uploading a document to a website you have never heard of. PDFpad opens the file in your browser and never sends it anywhere.

We don't host anyone else's forms — open the PDF you were sent. It opens in this browser and is not uploaded.

Filling it in neatly

  • Work through it in one pass on a laptop; the tick grids are fiddly on a phone.
  • Use the tick tool for yes/no columns so the marks sit in the boxes.
  • Medication lists usually need more room than the line allows — reduce the text size rather than running over the rule.
  • Save flattened, then delete the filled copy from your downloads once it has been received.

Questions

Is it safe to fill in a medical form online?
It depends entirely on where the file goes. Most online PDF tools upload your document to their servers. PDFpad does the work in your browser: the file is not uploaded, and our server only sees a page count and a fingerprint used to count free saves.
