They fill out the form in their language. Your PDF comes back in yours.

Your PDF's questions appear in the respondent's language on the web form. Their written answers are translated back into English before the PDF is filled, so your staff never translates responses by hand.

  • Respondents choose from 18 supported languages (active languages depend on your plan).
  • Both the original answer and the English translation are saved on an addendum page.
  • Answer translation is optional and off by default.

Shipping & Logistics Workflow

Works automatically with your existing Customs Declaration Forms PDF in every language your workspace has active.

02 / PLATFORM CAPABILITIES

PDF to web form software for clinics, schools, local government and offices

Built for operations teams, law firms, property managers, clinics, schools, and local government that require multi-document Smart Packets, bidirectional translation, encrypted storage, and document fidelity.

Fill in your details once for several documents

Smart Packets

Bundle 2 to 6 PDFs into one mobile link and optionally link repeated name, contact, and signature fields so clients answer once. Outputs both individual sealed PDFs and a combined Master Packet PDF.

Respondents answer in their language; you read it in yours

18 supported languages & bidirectional PDF translation

Respondents choose from 18 supported languages (active languages depend on your plan), including right-to-left Arabic and Urdu, with automatic browser language detection. Foreign-language answers are translated into your PDF’s language before stamping, with both versions preserved on the addendum.

Collect signatures in order by email or text

Multi-Signature Workflows

Route agreements sequentially via email or SMS so each signer only fills their assigned fields. The PDF is flattened after every signature and delivered to all parties upon execution.

Encrypted before it's stored

AES-256-GCM encryption

Encrypted at rest using AES-256-GCM before touching storage, or enable Zero-Storage Fill & Download Mode on the Team plan to generate and download official PDFs 100% in memory with zero PII retained.

Fill & Download: no respondent data stored

How Teams Digitize Customs Declaration Forms

Built for:Freight forwardersCustoms brokersImport export operations3PL warehousesInternational shippers

Eliminate Cross-Border Errors with Multilingual Customs Web Forms

International freight stalls at the port when shippers or overseas suppliers submit illegible, handwritten, or miscalculated PDF customs declarations. ToWebForm converts your standardized customs declaration PDFs into validated, mobile-friendly web forms that international counterparties can complete in their native language while delivering a clean, stamped PDF in your office's primary language.

17 Languages with Bidirectional PDF Translation

Cross-border logistics teams work with exporters and drivers across the globe. ToWebForm removes language friction without requiring separate PDF templates:

  • Automatic Browser Locale Detection: Shippers view field labels, helper instructions, and validation messages in 17 supported languages including Spanish, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Vietnamese, Tagalog, French, German, Korean, Japanese, and right-to-left Arabic.
  • Bidirectional Answer Translation: When an overseas shipper types commodity descriptions or origin notes in another language, ToWebForm translates open-ended answers into your PDF's original language before stamping the document, while preserving both the translated text and verbatim original input in a Bilingual Verification Log on the addendum page.
  • Tabular Commodity Grids: Use structured table grids and currency inputs for HS tariff codes, net weights, quantities, and declared values.

Instant PDF Stamping and Bulk CSV Export

Every submission maps directly onto the exact bounding box coordinates of your customs PDF template, seals the document with a PKCS#7 digital signature, and exports cleanly to CSV for customs brokerage spreadsheets.

Visit Help Center →Contact Support
01How do I convert a PDF Customs Declaration Forms into a mobile-friendly web form?
Upload your existing Customs Declaration Forms PDF to ToWebForm. Every page is analyzed to map text inputs, checkboxes, date pickers, tables, and signature lines at their exact coordinates, and repeated fields across multi-page PDFs or multi-form Smart Packets are linked automatically so respondents answer shared questions once. You can share the responsive web form link with Freight forwarders and Customs brokers via email, SMS, or QR code, and every submission is stamped directly onto your original Customs Declaration Forms layout.
02How are completed Customs Declaration Forms submissions signed, encrypted, and delivered for Shipping & Logistics teams?
When a respondent submits your Customs Declaration Forms web form or multi-document Smart Packet, all sensitive answers and file uploads are encrypted at the application layer using AES-256-GCM before storage. Signed documents are sealed with a tamper-evident PKCS#7 / X.509 digital signature and an ESIGN/UETA audit trail page, then delivered via a time-limited signed link to your dashboard alongside bulk CSV export.
03Can respondents fill out Customs Declaration Forms in Spanish or other languages while our team receives an English PDF?
Yes. Respondents to your Customs Declaration Forms web form or Smart Packet can choose from 18 supported languages (active languages depend on your plan), and ToWebForm automatically matches the respondent's browser language. Open-ended answers typed in another language are translated into your PDF's original language before stamping onto the document, with a Bilingual Verification Log attached on the addendum page.
04How do I convert a scanned or fillable PDF to a web form?
Upload any flat scanned PDF or interactive AcroForm (up to 25 MB and 100 pages) to ToWebForm. Every page is analyzed to map text boxes, checkboxes, tables, date pickers, and signature lines with their exact coordinates, and you can continue working in your dashboard while long documents transform in the background. Adjust the layout in the drag-and-drop builder and publish immediately.
05Can respondents fill out forms in other languages, and what language appears on the completed PDF?
Yes. Respondents can choose from 18 supported languages (active languages depend on your plan), and ToWebForm automatically matches the respondent’s browser language (including right-to-left layout for Arabic and Urdu). On every plan, including Free, open-ended answers typed in another language are translated into your PDF’s original language before stamping onto the document, and both the mapped translation and the signer’s exact original text are preserved on the addendum page.
06Can I bundle multiple PDFs into one link so clients do not re-type their name and sign repeatedly?
Yes. With Smart Packets and automatic field deduplication, you can bundle 2 to 6 forms into a single mobile wizard link (or upload a single multi-page PDF with repeated fields). Overlapping fields like Full Name, Email, Phone, Address, and Signature are automatically merged so your client answers them once and signs once at the end. ToWebForm stamps their answers onto every linked coordinate across all pages and generates both individual sealed PDFs and a combined Master Packet PDF.
07Is the web form accessible (ADA/WCAG)?
ToWebForm is built to support WCAG 2.1 AA. Generated forms include semantic labels and ARIA attributes for assistive technology, proper heading hierarchy, and a dedicated accessibility overrides panel for fine-tuning.
08How do I share a form or route a multi-signer agreement?
Share public forms via direct link, website embed, QR code, printable reception counter card, or SMS text message. For agreements that require multiple signatures, assign fields to each signer role and route private signing links sequentially by email or SMS.
09Can I embed a web form directly on my website?
Yes. Every published form includes a copy-paste website embed snippet that works with WordPress, Webflow, Squarespace, Wix, and custom HTML sites. The default responsive embed automatically adjusts its height as visitors fill out fields and sign so there are no double scrollbars, and a standard script-free iframe option is also included for portals that restrict inline scripts. Website embedding is included on all plans, and the Team plan removes the Powered by ToWebForm footer for a white-label embed.
10Is my data ever used to train external models?
No. Your uploaded PDFs and encrypted form submissions are never used to train any models. All sensitive respondent data is encrypted at the application layer with AES-256-GCM before storage.
11How do you protect accounts if a password is stolen?
Turn on two-factor authentication in Settings: signing in then also needs a 6-digit code from an authenticator app on your phone, with backup codes if you lose it. You can remember a trusted device so it does not ask every time. Owners and admins can require it for their whole team and choose how long devices are remembered. Accounts that sign in with Google or Microsoft are protected by that account's own security.
12Can respondents fill out a web form and download the official PDF without our organization storing their PII in the cloud?
Yes. On the Team plan, you can switch any form to Fill & Download Official PDF Only (Zero-PII Storage Mode). Respondents fill out the mobile-friendly web form in any enabled language, and ToWebForm translates (if enabled) and stamps their answers onto your original PDF coordinates entirely in memory, streaming the completed PDF directly to their browser without saving any respondent PII in the database.
13How do contract expiration reminders work?
Owners and admins get an email 30, 7, and 1 day before a signed contract expires. Set the expiration date when you send the contract, or edit it later on the Contracts dashboard.
14Can I upload contracts that were signed outside ToWebForm?
Yes. Upload any executed PDF contract up to 25 MB and 100 pages to track its expiration date, contract value, and key terms alongside agreements signed in ToWebForm, with reminders before it expires.
