PDF guide for veterinarians and veterinary clinic staff

2 min read·12 November 2026

Veterinarians manage medical records for animals: history taking, diagnostic reports, lab results, prescriptions, and surgical reports. With PDFrust all those documents are processed quickly, securely, and professionally.

Compile a patient file per animal

A complete animal file contains: intake (anamnesis), vaccination record, lab results, X-ray or ultrasound images, and surgical reports. Merge all documents into one PDF per animal. Stamp the file with the microchip number and animal name for instant identification.

Process X-rays and ultrasound images

Diagnostic images are exported as JPEG or DICOM. Convert them to PDF with the jpg2pdf tool. Merge them with the diagnostic report in one PDF. Stamp each image attachment with date and animal ID so images cannot be mixed up.

Prescriptions and medication schedules

Veterinary prescriptions must meet legal requirements: veterinarian name and registration number, date, animal name, drug name, dosage, and withdrawal period. Create prescriptions as fillable PDF forms via formFill. Sign digitally via sign. Deliver securely by email.

Make lab results searchable

Lab results from external laboratories sometimes arrive as scanned PDFs. Use the OCR tool to make the text searchable. This lets you search for values (e.g. "creatinine", "leukocytes") in the archive.

Consent and owner documents

Written owner consent is required for surgery. Create consent forms as fillable PDF via formFill. Have the owner sign on the spot via the sign tool on a tablet, or send the form by email for advance signing.
