Fill PDF Forms Online

To fill a PDF form online free, add the form here, type your answers into the fields it lists, then click Save filled PDF and download the completed copy. There is no software to install and no sign up, and the form never leaves your device because it is filled in your browser.

It works with the fillable forms you meet every day: job applications, tax and government forms, registration sheets, surveys and medical intake forms.

How to fill out a PDF online free

1. Add the form. Drop in a PDF with fillable fields, up to 100 MB.
2. Fill each field. The tool lists every field by the name the form gives it, which usually matches the label on the page. Type text, tick checkboxes, choose a radio option and pick from dropdown lists.
3. Lock the answers if you want. Switch this on to flatten the fields when you save, so nobody can change your entries.
4. Save and download. Click Save filled PDF. The new file is named with -filled and your original stays unchanged.
5. Check it. Open the filled PDF in any reader and read every answer in place before you send it.

Which PDF form fields can you fill?

The PDF form filler supports the interactive fields used in most official fillable forms:

• Text fields for names, addresses, numbers and dates (type a date in the format the form asks for)
• Checkboxes for yes or no answers
• Radio buttons where only one choice per group is allowed
• Dropdowns and list boxes with set options

All fields appear in one simple list, so you don't have to hunt across pages for the box you missed.

How to fill out a PDF that is not fillable

A scanned or printed form has no interactive fields, only lines and boxes in the page image. The tool tells you when it finds no fields. In that case:

• Use Edit PDF to place text boxes and check marks anywhere on the page.
• If the scan is hard to read, run PDF OCR first to make its text searchable.

Fill and sign a PDF form

Fill the form here and save it, then open the filled file in Sign PDF to draw, type or upload your signature and add the date. If you already filled a form elsewhere and only want to lock it, flatten the PDF form instead.

Tips for filling PDF forms online

• Read the field names in the list: they tell you which box on the page each one fills.
• Keep the unlocked copy until the form is accepted, in case you need to correct an answer.
• Turn on Lock answers for the copy you send, so the entries can't be changed by mistake.
• Your personal details stay private: nothing is uploaded to a server.
