User signing and filling forms digitally across mobile and desktop.

In an era where mobile efficiency is key, completing tasks on the go is no longer optional. From professionals signing contracts to parents filling out school forms, the demand for simple mobile solutions is greater than ever. Yet, for many, working with PDF forms on a mobile device remains difficult, slow, and often incomplete.

Challenges exist on both sides. Recipients often struggle with pinching, zooming, and navigating clunky forms, which can lead to errors or abandonment. But the challenges are just as real for senders. Today, creating a true mobile-friendly form could mean months of custom coding or reliance on costly, complex third-party platforms — making it impractical for many businesses to keep pace with modern expectations. The result? Delayed rollouts, increased costs, and missed opportunities to engage mobile-first customers.

With Mobile Focus, we’re setting a new standard — making it easier than ever for anyone to send, fill out, and finish forms on any mobile device, no matter where they are.

Form filling experience.

Mobile Focus guides users through the necessary form fields, making it easier to complete documents efficiently and accurately.

With a quick toggle, users can enable Mobile Focus and switch to a mobile-friendly version of the form that’s easy to view, fill out, and navigate — ensuring a smooth, guided experience from start to finish.

Sender experience.

For senders, the ability to create adaptable, mobile-friendly forms without extensive coding or long development cycles can be transformational. Historically, converting a single PDF into a web-friendly form required third-party tools integration and months of effort. With Mobile Focus mode, senders can now generate a mobile-friendly form seamlessly — without any developer support.

With just a quick toggle, senders can create a mobile-friendly view of the agreement where they can add sections, edit labels, reorder, and preview before sending.

This allows entire organizations to standardize the mobile experience for recurring agreements, like enrollment forms, all with minimal setup.
