Common government PDF workflows

Tax forms (W-4, W-9, 1099)

Citizens and contractors fill federal and state tax forms in the browser. No printing, no scanning, no mailing sensitive information.

Immigration forms (USCIS)

Applicants complete I-130, I-485, N-400, and other USCIS forms digitally with proper signatures.

Benefits & social services applications

Residents fill social services applications, food assistance forms, and housing applications in the browser on any device.

Permits & licensing forms

Businesses and individuals complete permit applications, professional license renewals, and regulatory filings digitally.

Internal agency forms

Employees fill travel authorizations, expense reports, and HR forms without installing desktop software.

Public records requests (FOIA)

Citizens submit FOIA and public records requests by filling and signing standardized forms in the browser.

Privacy-first by design

While a form is filled in, Social Security numbers, tax information, and immigration details stay on the person's device and are never sent to SimplePDF. When they submit, with Bring Your Own Storage (S3, Azure Blob Storage, and SharePoint) the completed file goes straight to your own storage, instead of ours.

What we do

  • Editing happens on the device, never on our servers
  • On submit, files can go straight to your own storage
  • Bring Your Own Storage (S3, Azure Blob Storage, and SharePoint)

What this means for your agency

  • Citizen data stays on the device while the form is filled in; with Bring Your Own Storage, submissions land in storage you control
  • With Bring Your Own Storage, no third-party handling of submissions to audit or disclose
  • Full control over where documents are stored

Got any questions?

Does SimplePDF process citizen data on its servers?
While a form is being filled in, Social Security numbers, tax information, and personal details stay on the person's device and are never sent to SimplePDF. When they submit, with Bring Your Own Storage the completed file goes straight to your own S3, Azure Blob Storage, or SharePoint and never reaches SimplePDF's servers; without BYOS, submitted files are stored by SimplePDF.
Can agencies embed SimplePDF into their citizen portals?
Yes. SimplePDF can be embedded as an iframe or integrated via our React, vanilla JS, or web component packages. Documents stay in the browser, and completed PDFs can be sent to your backend via webhooks. Learn more about our embed options.
Which government forms are available?
SimplePDF hosts 0+ fillable government forms including IRS tax forms, USCIS immigration forms, CMS healthcare forms, and SSA forms.
Does SimplePDF meet government security requirements?
SimplePDF's client-side architecture means citizen data is not processed on our servers during editing. With Bring Your Own Storage, your agency retains full control of its own storage and completed documents never reach SimplePDF; without BYOS, submitted files are stored by SimplePDF.
Do citizens need to create an account?
No. The free tier requires no account. Citizens simply open the form link and start filling.
Does it work on mobile devices?
Yes. SimplePDF works in any modern browser on desktop, tablet, and mobile - no app install required.
Where are completed documents stored?
All PDF editing happens in the browser. When saving completed documents, the client uploads directly to the target storage using presigned URLs. You can use Bring Your Own Storage (S3, Azure Blob Storage, and SharePoint) to keep documents within your own storage.
