# Document Templates of type PDF \(Advanced forms\)

A PDF document template originates from a fillable PDF or a standard PDF with inline signatures. Using the PDF document template, you can collect details and e-signatures from multiple participants, review, and generate a filled PDF document.

**Important:**

You can create a PDF document template either:

-   uploading a fillable, editable PDF document into the form.
-   using a PDF from [Managed Documents](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/servicenow-platform/c_ManagedDocuments.md).

The following flow describes how you can use a PDF document template from configuring the template until filling, signing, reviewing, and generating a PDF document.

-   [Configure a PDF document template](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/employee-service-management/hr-service-delivery/configure-editable-pdf.md).
-   [Create participants for a PDF document template](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/employee-service-management/hr-service-delivery/create-participant.md).
-   [Define a PDF field mapping](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/employee-service-management/hr-service-delivery/edit-pdf-mappings.md).
-   [Mark a signature block](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/employee-service-management/hr-service-delivery/mark-signature-doctemp.md).
-   Publish the PDF document template.
