How to fill in a PDF form
- Add your form. Select a PDF that contains fillable form fields.
- Fill in the fields. The form fields are detected automatically - type your answers, tick boxes and choose options.
- Download. Select Download filled PDF. Turn on “Flatten” first if you want to lock the answers.
Frequently asked questions
My PDF has no fields to fill - why?
The document does not contain an interactive form (an AcroForm). If it is a flat scan, there are no fields to detect.
What does “Flatten” do?
It makes your answers a permanent part of the page so they can no longer be edited - useful before sending the form on.
Is this tool free?
Yes - it is completely free, with no account, no limits, and no watermarks added to your files. Every PDF tool on File-Extension works the same way.
