PDFs and supporting files

Distinguish the official PDF application from additional documents, such as transcripts or worksheets.

1Prepare a PDF application

  1. Select PDF application or Online form + PDF in the form editor, then attach the official PDF.
  2. Use the available PDF field configuration to prepare browser completion. Check every field and page in the preview.
  3. Test saving a completed PDF as a student before sharing the form. Uploading a PDF does not configure its fields or import existing answers. Use field mapping when a configured PDF response should populate a profile field.

2Complete and save the PDF

  1. When browser completion is available, enter the requested details and use Meritaria’s save controls. Confirm the saved file appears with your application.
  2. A Submit Form button embedded in the PDF is not Meritaria’s application submit button.
  3. For a PDF with Adobe-only controls or unsupported fields, use Download, complete and save the file in a compatible PDF reader, then Upload completed PDF.

3Manage other documents

  1. Administrators can attach downloadable files for students to complete and return, and configure upload questions or document requests.
  2. Students use the application’s Documents area and the relevant upload task to provide each file. Check the displayed filename and upload status.
  3. Follow the form’s instructions for files permitted after submission. A required upload may still block submission if it is not configured for later completion.
