LinaFora App Builder
App builder for digital protocols and forms.
The app builder turns existing protocols, forms and documentation workflows into a digital application. Vehicle transfers are only one example – the same builder can be used for inspections, acceptance reports, condition reports, service documentation and many other processes.

Support is limited during the test period. In return we ask you for honest feedback – what works well, what is missing, what holds you up. We read every one ourselves; for feedback we can actually work with, there is the early-bird discount on the time from 1 January 2027.
What does the app builder actually do?
Your existing PDF can be the starting point. Fillable PDF fields can be imported; additional fields can then be added and structured. You decide how the app is organised and which inputs are needed on site.
1
Use your template
An existing PDF provides the visual layout and positions. Fillable PDF fields can be detected directly; an Excel file can additionally provide field names, labels and widths.
2
Define layout & fields
Fields can be positioned, resized, aligned and assigned the appropriate type while the original PDF remains the visual basis.
3
Shape the app structure
Fields become logical sections and modules for the actual app. Their order and labels can follow your workflow without changing their PDF positions.
4
Capture & export
The finished app guides data capture and generates the completed protocol as a PDF. Additional functions are available depending on the plan.
Available building blocks
Field types and functions vary by plan and configuration. In addition to standard form controls, the builder supports specialised capture components.

The process in four steps
From your existing template to the completed report – without programming.
1 · Import templateYour existing PDF is adopted as the template. Fillable PDF fields are detected; an Excel file can add names and column widths.
2 · PDF layoutThe fields are positioned and aligned on the original template and assigned the appropriate type.
3 · App structureThe order, sections and labels of the later app are defined – the positions in the PDF remain unchanged.
4 · Use & outputOn site, the app guides users through data entry and finally produces the completed report as a PDF.
Typical use cases
Inspection & acceptance
Checklists, technical inspections, acceptance reports, measurements and structured on-site documentation.
Your own workflows
Custom forms and recurring processes that should end in clear, traceable PDF documentation.
See how it works
With an existing PDF, getting started is particularly quick.
You can configure the builder yourself. If you prefer, LinaFora can also prepare your existing template for the builder as a one-time service.
