PDF to Google Forms – Upgrade Your Worksheet

Converting your worksheets to Google Forms goes beyond being paperless. Google Forms allows you to collect data from your worksheet, see all responses in one place, review summaries of responses, provide more specific feedback, and reduces your digital paperwork!

Upload to Google Drive

Automagical Forms is an Add-on for Google Drive so you want to upload your file into Google Drive.

Single Click

If you UNCHECKED some of the questions use the “Custom Form” button at the bottom of the question list. The “Create Form” button adds ALL the questions regardless of checkboxes.
