Fill PDF form
Type into form fields
Type into the fields a PDF already has — text boxes, tick boxes, radio buttons and drop-downs — then download it. You can leave the form editable, or flatten it so the answers become part of the page.
Questions
- Are my files uploaded anywhere?
- No. Every tool on this site runs entirely inside your browser using JavaScript — your file is never uploaded to a server, because there is no server. You can confirm it by opening your browser’s network tab, or by disconnecting from the internet once the page has loaded: the tool still works.
- What does flattening do?
- It draws your answers into the page and removes the interactive fields, so the values can no longer be edited or cleared in a PDF reader. Leave it off if the form still has to be filled in further. Flattening is one-way: keep the editable copy if you may need it.
- The PDF looks like a form but no fields are listed — why?
- Either it is a scan, which is a picture of a form and has no fields at all, or it is an XFA form (the kind LiveCycle produces), whose fields live outside the PDF’s own form structure. XFA forms are detected and named as such; they have to be opened in Adobe Acrobat.
- Can I type accented or non-Latin characters?
- Only characters the standard PDF fonts cover — Western European accents included, but not Cyrillic, Greek, Arabic or CJK. Those are refused up front rather than saved into a file that opens with the field blank or broken.
- Why can’t I edit some fields?
- Because the document locked them. A field marked read-only carries a value its author fixed — a reference number or a calculated total — and changing it here would misrepresent the form, so the tool says it is locked instead.
- Can I sign the signature field?
- No. A signature field expects a cryptographic signature, which this tool does not produce. Use Sign PDF to draw or place a visible signature on the page instead — a visual mark, not a certified one.
