ONLYOFFICE Docs, an alternative to Adobe Acrobat

100% compatible with Microsoft Office formats

5 reasons why ONLYOFFICE is the best Adobe Acrobat alternative for creating digital forms

Free and open-source

ONLYOFFICE provides users with open-source solutions. Our source code is listed on GitHub what ensures transparency and reliability.

Web, desktop, mobile

With ONLYOFFICE, you can create, co-author and fill in forms completely online. Besides, it’s possible to work with forms locally as well as fill them out on-the-go using mobile apps for iOS and Android.

Seamless online collaboration

You are able to create forms together with your teammates in real time, leave comments, review and track changes, browse version history. You can communicate right in the document to speed up the process using a built-in chat or Telegram plugin, as well as Jitsi plugin to make audio and video calls.

Complete functionality in one editor

ONLYOFFICE uses its native document editor for working with forms. To build a form, you don’t need to create a document in another word processor and then upload it to ours to add fields, like other editors handle it. With ONLYOFFICE, you can do everything in one editor — create a form template with fields, format text, and add even the most complex elements such as tables.

Support for Adobe field settings

In ONLYOFFICE forms, you are able to add various types of fields, adjust their border and background colors, set character limit, apply multi-line entry and a comb of characters, add tips and placeholders, mark fields as required, group fields so that they can be filled out simultaneously and lock them.
