How to fill in a PDF form online and flatten the finished copy

This PDF form filler detects the fillable fields in a PDF and lists them for you to complete: text boxes, checkboxes, dropdowns, radio buttons and lists. When you are done it returns a filled PDF with the original layout, and you can flatten it so the answers cannot be changed. It works in any browser, with nothing to print.

Fill out a PDF form online without printing it

Upload a PDF that has real form fields. The tool detects them and lists each one in the Fields tab under its own name and type, and a count shows how many were found. Type into text fields, tick checkboxes, choose from dropdowns and lists, and pick one option in each radio group.

  1. Upload the fillable PDF and wait for the fields to be detected.
  2. Complete each field in the Fields tab.
  3. Open Output to flatten the form or rename the file.
  4. Select Fill my form.
  5. Choose See result, then download the completed PDF.

Flatten a filled PDF form so it cannot be edited

In the Output tab, tick Flatten (make fields non-editable) to turn the answers into permanent page content. Without it, the filled PDF keeps live fields that anyone can still change. Flattening locks in every value as it stands, blanks included, so finish all fields first. If a form is already filled and only needs locking, flatten it as a separate step.

What to do when a PDF has no fillable fields

This tool completes fields that already exist in the file. It cannot add fields to a flat PDF or a scan, and it cannot turn an ordinary PDF into a fillable form. When a PDF has no fields, the tool says so and points you to Annotate PDF, where you can click anywhere on the page and type your answers. To change words already on the page, use the PDF editor.

Find the right field when names look technical

The Fields tab lists each field by the name stored in the PDF, together with its type. Those names are not always the labels printed on the form, so a field can carry a technical name. Fill it in, then open the result and check that every answer landed in the right box before you send the file.

Finish or correct a form someone else started

Values that are already stored in the PDF are loaded into the Fields tab, so you can complete a partly filled form or change an answer. Edit the value, leave Flatten unticked if more people still have to add theirs, and fill the form again to get a new copy.

Fill the same form for many people with a mail merge

Batch mail merge is a Premium feature. Upload one fillable PDF as the template, download the CSV template that has a column for each detected field, add one row per person and upload it. Each row becomes one filled PDF, delivered together as a ZIP. Column headers must match the field names exactly, and columns you leave out keep the values from the Fields tab.

Add your signature to a completed form

Signature fields in a PDF are shown as Unsupported field type and left as they are. Once the other answers are in, add a drawn, typed or uploaded signature to the finished PDF as a second step.

Before you fill a form

  • Use a PDF that opens without a password; if yours is locked, remove a password you already know first.
  • The output file name starts as the original name with -filled added, and you can change it in Output before you fill.
  • Fill every required field before flattening, because flattened values cannot be edited again.
  • Keep the blank original if you will need to fill the form again.

A flat PDF without fillable fields can still be completed: type on any part of the page in the PDF editor. After the answers are in, sign the completed form, and for a copy someone else already filled, lock its answers into the page.
