Required fields, signature block, validation and tests to make bookings efficient and clear. 17 October 2026 ## Quick answer Create a fillable PDF that collects sender, recipient, pickup/delivery times, shipment details and a signature block. Use a PDF editor (Adobe Acrobat, LibreOffice + editor, or web tools), mark required fields, add validation and a signature field, then test the form in real bookings. ## Why a fillable PDF helps courier orders A standard form reduces questions and mistakes. It captures all data needed for pickup and delivery. For Swiss companies with recurring shipments, it improves clarity for staff and customers and simplifies digital filing. ## Plan content and structure Decide which fields are required before you start. Common fields: sender (company, contact, phone, email), recipient (name, street, postcode, city, phone), pickup and delivery date/time, description of contents, packaging type, declared value (if needed), and special instructions. Choose which entries must be mandatory. ## Tools: desktop and online options Pick a tool that fits your workflow. Adobe Acrobat Pro provides robust form tools. LibreOffice can create forms and export to PDF. Online editors like PDFescape or JotForm let you build and share forms quickly. Ensure any cloud tool you use complies with Swiss data privacy rules when storing personal data. ## Step‑by‑step: building the form 1) Create the layout: company header, short instructions and clear sections. 2) Add fields: text fields for addresses, dropdowns for packaging type, date/time pickers. 3) Mark required fields: sender, recipient and pickup time should be mandatory. 4) Add validations: phone numbers, postal code formats and email checks. 5) Add a signature block: either a digital signature field or space for a handwritten signature after printing. 6) Add short legal notes about packaging responsibility and data handling. ## Signatures and legal notes A printed and handwritten signature often suffices. For fully digital workflows, use digital signatures that provide an audit trail if you need verified consent. Keep legal language short and clear. Have your legal team review any binding statements. ## Test, distribute and integrate Test the form with real examples: fill it out on screen, export, print and sign, then save it to your archive. Get feedback from staff and any regular courier providers. Share the PDF via your intranet, email or website. If you use an online booking tool, check whether form fields can be copied or imported into the booking system (for example to match x25pronto booking fields). ## Frequently asked questions Which fields should I mark as required? At minimum mark sender, recipient, phone numbers, pickup/delivery date and time and a brief contents description as required. This reduces delays and extra calls. Can I use a digital signature in the PDF? Yes. Many PDF editors support digital signatures. For legally binding signatures use a certified provider with an audit trail. How do I test the form before using it? Run several realistic tests: fill on screen, export and download, print and sign, then upload to your archive. Ask staff and a courier contact to verify the data is clear. How do I protect personal data in the form? Only collect what you need. Store forms locally or with a data‑protection compliant Swiss/EU provider. Use access controls and delete data per your retention policy. ## Plan a courier trip in Switzerland x25pronto Switzerland carries small and well packed shipments by car.
