Default Word Doc Interactivity With iPad & Google Docs

I am curious, and am hoping someone here is able to advise how realistic my idea is, and not necessarily tell me how to do it, but provide some online resources to consult, or some appropriate terms to conduct a search that will provide suitable results.



If I create a document on my desktop Office Word application, is it possible for me to make it "interactive" for a user of an iPad? As far as "interactive" goes, I'm looking to use that document as a form where a) users can enter information in blank fields, b) use checkboxes perhaps, and c) perhaps even utilize the tablet to allow a user to apply a signature to a document opened to the iPad.

The one problem I anticipate, comes from the fact that the administrator of the iPad will not install Microsoft apps on the tablet, but has agreed to provide Google Docs and Goggle Sheets. I do realize that the Microsoft apps do not allow any macro ability, so the "form" would not function with any automation. Simply fill in the blanks, with text, a signature, a few checkboxes, and re-saved as a completed document.

I am more familiar with Excel than Word, so I struggle slightly with the practicality or ability to do this. Realistically possible? Overly complicated? Any suggestions for online resources or practical search terms?

At first glance, this sounds like a use-case for Acrobat! though I have no experience of trying to deliver interaction for iPads. Now let's see what more knowledgeable people have to say …
