We’re excited to introduce Fillable PDF Forms, a powerful new feature that allows childcare centers to convert standard PDFs into fully fillable digital forms—while keeping the final output in the original PDF format required by authorities and compliance processes.


What’s New

AI-Powered Fillable PDF Creation

Upload any PDF and make it fillable instantly
Users can now upload any PDF document, and the system will automatically detect and generate all relevant fillable fields using AI.

This eliminates the need to manually recreate forms.


Custom Form Builder

Review and customize fields
After AI detection, users can:

  • Edit detected fields

  • Add new fields

  • Modify form structure as needed

This ensures complete flexibility while keeping the original document format intact.


Authority-Ready PDF Submissions

Keep the original PDF format
Parents fill out the form digitally, and the final submission remains in the same PDF format required by licensing authorities, agencies, or compliance reviews.

This makes it easy to share forms directly with regulators without reformatting or manual conversion.


Replace expensive form tools

This feature can replace third-party tools like:

  • Typeform

  • Jotform

  • Unicorn Form

Schools can now create, collect, and store form submissions directly inside illumine, reducing operational costs.


Better experience for parents

Parents can fill forms quickly on their device without downloading, printing, or scanning documents—saving significant time during registration and compliance submissions.


Why this matters

  • Saves hours of manual form processing

  • Keeps submissions in authority-ready PDF format

  • Reduces reliance on external form tools

  • Cuts software costs for centers

  • Makes form completion faster for parents
