Fill PDF form

Type answers into the form’s fields, tick boxes and pick options.

Fill PDF form finds the fields in an interactive PDF form and lists them so you can type your answers, tick checkboxes and pick options. Save the filled-in form to send it on, or flatten it so the answers become part of the page and can’t be edited. For PDFs without fields, use Add text instead.

Questions and answers

What does flattening do?

Flattening turns the fields into ordinary page content, so the answers can no longer be changed. Leave it off if someone else still needs to edit the form.

My PDF has no fields. How do I fill it in?

Use Add text to type anywhere on the page instead.
