When you need to collect several documents from users—such as in job applications, grant submissions, or administrative workflows—a robust and user-friendly file upload form is essential. In this project, you will create a document submission form that allows users to upload multiple files at once, restricts uploads to specific file types (PDF and DOCX), and provides clear progress indicators for each file. This real-world scenario demonstrates how FilePond can simplify the process of handling multiple file uploads, enforce validation rules, and deliver a seamless experience for users.

In this example, the document submission form leverages FilePond's ability to handle multiple files by setting the allowMultiple option to true and specifying a maximum of five files with maxFiles. To ensure that users only upload PDF or DOCX files, the acceptedFileTypes option is configured with the appropriate MIME types. This validation happens before files are uploaded, providing instant feedback if a user tries to submit an unsupported file type. The labelIdle property customizes the drop area message, making it clear which file types are accepted. FilePond automatically displays upload progress indicators for each file, giving users real-time feedback as their documents are processed. This setup creates a smooth and reliable experience for multi-document submissions.
