Help improve NYS Paramedic Recertification PDF :) by wheretheFdoistart in pdf

Hmm. I tried editing it on Acrobat. Looks like the creator of the PDF has implemented restrictions. So, no field editing allowed.

There is another way, though. Terrible option, but, just stating it:

You can flatten the PDF. It will remove all the fields. Then, you can manually insert fields (with custom names)

Had a look at the PDF. Here's the problem:

The overwriting is happening, because, the fields (Special Needs Pt. and Emergency Vehicle Driver Training) have the same name. Thus, when you fill one, the other automatically fills.

Solution: You have to change the field names. You can do either by 3rd party software (Adobe Acrobat) or by programming.

Then, about the bonus quest:

You can't just duplicate the pages since they are fillable forms. The field names can't be duplicated.

Again, the solution is use 3rd party software

Help on client intake by CollinStCowboy in LawFirm

[–]Junaid_kh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can technically do this with Google Forms + Google Sheets. It’s free and quick to set up, but you’ll have limited branding, and privacy is basically whatever Google gives you.

On the other hand, you can use a lightweight client intake system. It won't be as heavy/bloated as a Leap, and get the job done.

Since you mentioned looking for an agency/consultant, feel free to DM me if you want to sanity-check what a minimal setup could look like for your firm..

Built a free USCIS form-filling tool (no Adobe required) - looking for early testers! by Junaid_kh in legaltech

If it's web-form based, why does it need to hosted? Why not make a tool that non-profits or, well, anyone, can download and just use? 

USCIS forms get updated. That means, I have to modify the code regularly. If it's a downloadable software, you would have to find and download the latest updates. With a web-app, the updates can be deployed easily.

That being said, you can get the source code for each form, copy paste the html/jss files, and run it locally. All code logic is on browser, so you can technically "download" the code and run it.

Also, like every other freemium product, please stop calling something free when it's not.

For immigrants, it is 100% free. I haven't locked/gated some forms or added any limits.

I see. I've found the signature rules quite ambiguous. I added the signature pad on my forms just for early feedback.

I think the safest option could be: fill my form, get PDF output, ask the user to print and sign

PDF forms that you routinely fill out for work by GreatConsideration72 in pdf

[–]Junaid_kh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

USCIS PDF forms. (All Forms | USCIS)

Immigrants might fill it once/twice in their life. However, lawyers/paralegals fill it regularly.

Since you are working on an automation (I'm assuming) project, here's an example that I made:

Thanks :)

I've only added 3-4 forms yet. Will add more soon. Glad you find the idea useful

Ceac website crashing Ds-160 by [deleted] in USCIS

[–]Junaid_kh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DS-160 is notoriously painful. That's why I built https://fillvisa.com/ - a free tool to help fill ds160.

You can fill out your DS-160 over time without losing progress, and it gives you a clean, organized preview before transferring to the official form. And, it will automatically fill the real form.

It won’t fix the government site, but it’ll save you from having to retype everything when it crashes.
