FormsViewer: The Future of Forms
Microsoft shipped the last version of InfoPath in SharePoint 2016 and Office Online has discontinued the feature. Qdabra’s FormsViewer is the only app that preserves and extends your existing investment.
Why FormsViewer?
- Migrate your forms in place, i.e. “as is” – no change to templates or data (you can keep InfoPath as an edit option)
- Enter data more quickly, forms run faster in the browser because we’ve removed the “sending data to server” for form logic
- Speed up your design process, no more “Publish” required; just drag and drop your templates to SharePoint for rapid testing and deployment
- Add missing functionality – we’ve included the most popular qRules extensions without requiring the sandbox code service (nor qRules)
- Reduces SharePoint license fees – works with SharePoint Foundation and supports external user access for O365 sites
- Protect your process from sudden InfoPath changes – FormsViewer installs side-by-side alongside InfoPath so you can use both options until InfoPath breaks
- Responsive Mobile Design - make existing forms look great on mobile devices
- Available now, start planning your forms future with Qdabra’s support have standing by to help you
What is FormsViewer?

Get Started
The majority of forms migrate with no modification. Upload your forms today to find out the good, the bad, and the ugly. That's right, our diagnostics tool gives you a full analysis of your form.

Reviews
"The Road to Replacing InfoPath 2013. One alternative exists in the guise of FormsViewer, a free, feature-rich replacement for InfoPath. Compatible with existing InfoPath forms, FormsViewer was earlier this week upgraded to version 1.23 ”
blog, November 2016
“Outgrowing SharePoint lists early on in our CRM project forced us to look at alternative solutions. Patrick and his team listened to our needs and developed a solution with FormsViewer and SQL. FormsViewer added features that we lost in the O365 out-of-box environment and will address our continuing growth. We found our partner for the future!”
