About Fill PDF Forms — Free Online Tool

Fill PDF Forms writes values into the interactive fields of a PDF form — text boxes, checkboxes, dropdowns, radio groups and list boxes.

Run it with no values and it changes nothing: it returns an inventory of every field, with its exact name, its type, what is currently in it, and the permitted options for a dropdown or a radio group. You then supply values keyed by those names, which is the step people get wrong, because a field name is rarely the label printed beside it on the page. Signature and button fields cannot be set and come back reported as skipped. Flattening is optional: flattened, the answers become page content and stop being editable; left alone, the form stays interactive for whoever opens it next.

Field values are written locally, so a tax form or a visa application is completed on your own machine and the finished file passes through no one else.

Completing a government form that only exists as a fillable PDF, filling the same onboarding pack for several new starters, locking answers before sending a form back, and finding out what a form really asks for before you start.
