healthcare document PDF operations for health-tech

Patient intake, lab results, referral packets — without sending PHI to five vendors.

Every PDF vendor a clinic evaluates wants its own written health-data agreement. SnapPDF replaces four of them with one — fill, sign, OCR, compress, protect — under a single agreement. Detailed solution architecture lives at the bottom of this page.

Operations used

Example workflow

1. 01
   EHR triggers intake

   New patient created → kick off intake packet generation.
2. 02
   SnapPDF fill-form

   Pre-populate the demographic fields you already have.
3. 03
   Patient completes + signs

   Tablet at front desk or phone link.
4. 04
   SnapPDF ocr (if scanned)

   Re-runs OCR on any scanned uploads so the text is searchable.
5. 05
   SnapPDF protect + archive

   Encrypt, attach to encounter, store under retention policy.

Code

// Intake packet pipeline — runs server-side under your written health-data agreement.
const filled = await snap.pdf.fillForm({
  file: intakeTemplate,
  values: { name: patient.name, dob: patient.dob, mrn: patient.mrn },
});
const signed = await snap.pdf.sign({
  file: filled.pdf,
  signature: { kind: 'image', image: patientSignatureBytes, page: 4 },
});
const archived = await snap.pdf.protect({
  file: signed.pdf,
  password: encounterKey,
  permissions: { print: false, copy: false },
});
// Persist under your encounter — SnapPDF retains nothing.
