## Response `200`

PatientFormPdfTemplate

- PatientFormPdfTemplateResponse — A client-uploaded PDF template for the standalone PDF form-builder feature: a PDF is uploaded, fields are placed on it via drag-and-drop, and the result is saved so it can later be filled out to produce a completed PDF. Despite the similar name, this is unrelated to PatientFormTemplate, which drives the existing question-based patient intake forms.
