Fill in the form without printing it

Application forms, registration forms and order forms often come as PDFs with fields you can type into. Not every PDF reader fills them well, especially on phones, and printing a form to write on it and then scanning it back is slow. This tool lists every field the form has, lets you fill them in with ordinary text boxes, checkboxes and menus, and saves a copy of the form with your answers in it.

How to fill a form

  1. Choose the PDF form, up to 100 MB.
  2. Wait a moment while the tool reads the form; its fields appear under your file, grouped by page.
  3. Fill in what you need. Fields you leave as they are keep what the form already had.
  4. Choose whether to lock the answers, then press Save the filled form and download it.

The kinds of fields

  • Text boxes, including ones with several lines. A field with a length limit stops you at its limit.
  • Checkboxes and round buttons where you pick one of several answers.
  • Drop-down menus and lists, including lists where you may pick more than one.

Signature fields, buttons and fields the form marks as read-only aren’t shown. To add your signature to the filled form, open the result in Sign PDF.

Checking the filled form

Open the downloaded copy in your usual PDF reader before you send it. Each field should show your answer, in the place the form’s author put it. Long answers may be shrunk to fit a small box; if one is hard to read, shorten it. If you locked the answers, try clicking a field: nothing should change. Keep the empty form too, in case you need to start again or fill it in for someone else.

Good to know

  • Letters: answers are written with a standard font that covers English and Western European languages. Letters from other alphabets can’t be drawn, and the tool tells you if a field holds any.
  • Dynamic forms made with Adobe’s XFA format can only be filled in Adobe Acrobat or Reader; the tool says so if it finds one. Forms that carry both kinds keep working: the tool fills the standard fields and removes the XFA copy, so every reader shows your answers.
  • No fields at all: a scanned or printed-style form has nothing to fill. Edit PDF lets you type anywhere on a page instead.

Frequently asked questions

Why don’t I see any fields?
Some PDFs only look like forms: the lines and boxes are printed on the page, with no fields behind them. Those can’t be filled here. To type onto any page, use Edit PDF instead.
What does locking the answers do?
It turns the filled fields into part of the page, like printed text. Nobody can change the answers afterwards, and every PDF reader shows them the same way. Keep it off if you or someone else still needs to edit the form.
Why are some field names odd?
The names come from the form itself. Many forms give each field a readable description, which is shown when there is one; otherwise you see the internal name the form’s author chose. The page number helps you match them up.
Is my form uploaded?
No. Your own browser reads the form and writes your answers into it. What you type and the filled PDF stay on your device.
