Turn any PDF into a reusable template with fillable fields and signer roles. Send fresh copies to new signers without rebuilding the form each time.
How it works
01
Upload Your Document
Drag and drop your PDF into DocHub, or upload it from your device. Any PDF can become a reusable template.
02
Build Your Template
Open the Fields Manager to add fillable fields — Text, Checkbox, Signature, Dropdown, and more. Assign each field to a Role (like "Client" or "Signer") instead of a specific person. Then go to Menu → Actions → Convert to Template to save it.
03
Send and Reuse
Send the template as a Sign Request by entering any signer's email address. After sending, click "Stay on Template" and it's ready for the next recipient — your layout and fields are saved permanently.

Reuse Without Rebuilding
Create your form or contract once and send it to as many people as you need. Fields, roles, and layout are saved — nothing to redo for each new recipient.
Role-Based Fields
Assign fields to named roles like "Client" or "Signer" instead of specific emails. DocHub routes each field to the right person when you enter their address at send time.
One-Click Sending
Open your template, enter a signer's email, and send. DocHub notifies the recipient and tracks completion — no manual follow-up needed.
Any Document Type
Turn contracts, intake forms, invoices, consent forms, or NDAs into reusable DocHub templates. Any PDF with fields can be a template.
Securely Stored for Reuse
Your templates are securely saved in your DocHub account and accessible from any device. Nothing is lost between sessions.
Works with Google Drive
Create templates from files stored in Google Drive and manage everything from DocHub without switching between apps.

What's the difference between a template and a regular document in DocHub?
A template uses named Roles (like "Client" or "Signer") instead of specific email addresses, so you can send it to any recipient without reassigning fields each time. A regular document is typically sent once to specific people.
How do I create a template in DocHub?
Open your document in DocHub, then go to Menu → Actions → Convert to Template. Alternatively, upload directly as a template at dochub.com/new?isTemplate=true. Then assign your fields to roles using the Fields Manager.
Can I reuse a template more than once?
Yes. After sending a Sign Request from a template, click "Stay on Template." You can then send it to the next signer immediately without any changes to the template itself.
How many templates can I create on the free plan?
The Free plan allows up to 3 reusable templates. For unlimited templates, a Pro plan is needed. All templates are securely stored in your DocHub account.
Do recipients need a DocHub account to fill out a template?
No. Recipients receive an email link and can fill out and sign the document directly in their browser without creating a DocHub account or installing any software.
Can I use Google Drive files as templates?
Yes. Open a PDF from Google Drive in DocHub, convert it to a template, and manage it from your DocHub account. Completed copies can be exported back to Google Drive after signing.
