DanielRadulescuQ: Drag and Drop Editor
Hi there! I'm very interested in MarkupGo and appreciate you bringing this to AppSumo! I have a few questions please:
1. Do you have a drag and drop editor? Is there any GUI? It appears as though all of the templates must be created from HTML/CSS. Is there a way to upload a pdf and then have MarkupPro place fields on the canvas?
2. Is there a way to import fields so that the fields do not need to be manually created each time?
3. Can the pdf's once created be uploaded to DropBox, etc. ?
4. Can you please, and very quickly, explain the data flow? I am using JotForm, so maybe JotForm to Zapier, API to MarkupPro, then somehow file upload to DropBox?
Thanks again!! I'm currently using PDF.co, and would love to replace if possible.
Namaste and thank you again!

Feb 11, 2026A: Hi DanielRadulescu,
1) Drag & drop / GUI editor
MarkupGo does not have a drag-and-drop or visual PDF editor. Templates are created using HTML/CSS/JS. Uploading an existing PDF and placing fields on it is not supported.
Docs: https://markupgo.com/docs
Templates: https://markupgo.com/docs/api/templates
2) Reusing fields
Yes. You create reusable templates once and pass different data via the API — no need to recreate fields each time.
Docs: https://markupgo.com/docs/api/templates
3) Uploading PDFs to Dropbox
MarkupGo generates the PDF and returns it (URL or buffer). Uploading to Dropbox/Drive is handled via your own workflow (Zapier, Make, backend).
PDF docs: https://markupgo.com/docs/api/pdf
4) Data flow (JotForm example)
JotForm → Zapier/Make → MarkupGo API → Dropbox
MarkupGo handles only rendering; automation/storage is external.
