Unfortunately it's not possible to simply upload a PDF version of a form and have it turn into an Ocean eForm. This is because Ocean eForms are set up so that each question is its own discrete value, so it's very difficult to be able to convert a whole document into these separate, discrete values.
However, here are some suggested options to help you to build your eForms:
When building a form, you may want to prevent patients from skipping certain questions, or ensure that the information they provide meets a certain criteria (e.g. an email address must contain the @ sign).
You can easily make a question mandatory by editing the form in the eForm Editor.
When building/editing your Ocean eForms, you can set certain fields to be pre-populated with information that is available from the patient's chart in the EMR. This can be helpful for demographic fields, so the patient doesn't need to fill in the same information every time they use Ocean to fill out forms.

| HTML Tag | Resultant Style |
|---|---|
| <b> </b> | Bold |
| <u> </u> | Underlined |
| <i> </i> | Italicized |
A useful trick that you can use to nicely format the clinical note that Ocean generates is the use of: $$
Entering $$ into the "Custom Note" (Note Formatting tab) will generate text that reflects the patient's answer to that particular question.
Patient has $$ siblings.$$ with the menu choice that the you have selected:
Patient has 3 siblings.Along these same lines, you can use $$ in your custom note, wherever you wish to insert the patient's answer into the clinical note.
