clbammel it's not possible to import Word or PDF documents into Forms; you'll need to create the questions in Forms manually. You can then use a flow in Power Automate to get the response details and do whatever conditional routing or actions that you need based on answers in the form. In my company we always use a flow to save Forms responses to a list in SharePoint - mainly because Forms is the flakiest of the Microsoft 365 apps - which works very well and gives us a robust record of each response. In the same flow we send a confirmation email with our logo and other relevant information to the responder, and then do other actions on the SharePoint list as necessary.
