Embedded HIPAA-Friendly PDF Editor for Healthcare Platforms
A processing model designed to limit exposure of health documents
PDFs are edited in the browser. With Bring Your Own Storage, finalized documents are sent to the storage you configure. SimplePDF may process submission metadata, but does not become the primary store for finalized documents in a properly configured BYOS flow.
Custom PDF workflows for healthcare teams
Healthcare · HIPAA-compliant workflowsWe needed a customizable PDF viewer that allowed users to modify PDFs upon receipt to fit their specific workflows. SimplePDF’s functionality was precisely what we were looking for, but what truly stands out is the exceptional support and follow-up that Ben and their team consistently deliver.
PDF Workflows for Every Stage of Care
Patient intake forms
Patients complete intake forms in the browser before their appointment. Capture timestamped signatures for consent acknowledgements. Completed documents go directly to your own S3, Azure Blob Storage, or SharePoint, while webhooks notify your backend of each submission.
Consent documents
Patients sign consent forms in-browser with timestamped signatures, and providers counter-sign where required. Submissions trigger a webhook notification and land directly in your own storage.
Claims and revenue cycle forms
Billing staff complete CMS-1500 and other claim forms in-browser. Completed claims go directly to your storage, while webhooks notify your claims or revenue cycle system on every submission.
Referrals
Clinicians process referral forms in the browser. Signed documents go directly to your own S3, Azure Blob Storage, or SharePoint, while webhooks notify downstream referral workflows.
Discharge paperwork
Staff complete discharge documents with timestamped signatures. Signed paperwork goes directly to your storage, while webhooks notify downstream systems, without transiting SimplePDF servers.
Prior authorizations
Staff complete prior authorization forms in the browser without routing PHI through SimplePDF servers. Completed documents go directly to your storage, while webhooks notify your prior auth or revenue cycle workflows.
Why PHI Stays in the Browser and Your Storage
SimplePDF uses in-browser PDF processing so healthcare documents do not transit SimplePDF servers. Files stay in the browser during editing, and completed documents can go directly to your own storage.
How processing works
- All PDF processing happens in the browser
- Bring Your Own Storage: documents go directly to your S3, Azure Blob Storage, or SharePoint via presigned URLs
What this means for PHI
- With Bring Your Own Storage, PHI does not transit SimplePDF servers
- Smaller compliance surface. PHI stays in your own storage.
- You choose where documents are stored. S3, Azure Blob Storage, or SharePoint via Bring Your Own Storage.
Replacing Adobe, DocuSign, or pdfFiller for patient intake?
- No per-envelope pricing. One flat monthly price, unlimited end users, and from 2,500 documents and submissions a month combined.
- Embeds directly inside your patient portal or EHR. No redirect to a third-party branded flow.
- Bring Your Own Storage means completed PDFs land in your own storage (S3, Azure Blob Storage, and SharePoint), not the vendor's.
How healthcare platforms ship HIPAA-friendly PDF workflows
Ship a HIPAA-friendly intake flow in a sprint
Drop the SimplePDF embed into your patient portal or EHR. Patients fill and sign intake and consent PDFs in-browser, before the visit.
Pass security review without redesigning your storage stack
Completed PDFs go straight to your S3, Azure Blob Storage, or SharePoint, so with Bring Your Own Storage SimplePDF is not in the data path for submitted documents.
Wire submissions into your existing systems
Webhooks notify your EHR, revenue cycle, or referral system on every submission. No new integrations to maintain.
Is SimplePDF a fit for your healthcare product?
Strong fit if you answer yes to most of these:
- You handle PHI or other sensitive patient data.
- You have a repeatable workflow around form submission, intake, or referral.
- You want to embed the editor inside your own product, not redirect users to a third-party site.
- You care about BYOS, webhook notifications, or API access.
- You have a technical or product owner to wire up the embed.
- You're a digital health startup, EHR vendor, telehealth product, patient portal, or healthcare operations platform (typically 5-200 employees).
For Healthcare Platforms and EHR Systems
SimplePDF is built for healthcare software companies, EHR vendors, telehealth products, patient portals, and provider portals that need to embed document workflows directly into their products. Documents are processed in-browser, and with Bring Your Own Storage, completed PDFs go straight to your S3, Azure Blob Storage, or SharePoint. Built primarily for US healthcare teams navigating HIPAA.
