Fill PDF form

Fill in the fields of a PDF form: text boxes, tick boxes, radio buttons and drop-down lists. The form shows beside a preview of the page, and clicking a field on the page jumps to it. Free, and nothing is uploaded.

How to fill in a PDF form online

  1. 1Drop your PDF form in, or click to choose it
  2. 2Fill the fields in the list, or click them on the page
  3. 3Press Save PDF to download the filled form
  4. The same PDF with your answers in its fields.

What happens to your files

  • Nothing is uploaded.Your PDF is opened and changed by your browser, on your own device.
  • Your answers stay with you.The form is filled by your browser and never sent to a server.
  • The fields stay fields.Unless you tick Flatten, the values stay editable in any PDF reader.

What you can do

  • See every field of the form in a list, with the page number next to it.
  • Type into text fields, including multi-line ones, and the preview shows your answer on the page.
  • Tick boxes, choose radio buttons and pick from drop-down lists and choice lists.
  • Click a field on the page to jump to its entry, or press the page button to find the field on the page.
  • Tick Flatten before you save to make the answers permanent.

Good to know

  • Fields that are read-only are shown but cannot be changed. Maximum lengths are respected and longer text is cut with a note.
  • Text uses the built-in Helvetica. Characters it lacks become a question mark and you get a note.
  • A signature field is not filled by typing: use "Sign here" to draw or upload a signature into it.
  • A password-protected PDF has to be unlocked first.
