Open a PDF, place the fields and save. The new PDF works in Adobe Acrobat Reader, Preview on Mac, browsers and phone PDF apps.
Fields you can add
- Text for a single line such as a name, date or phone number.
- Paragraph for longer answers that wrap onto several lines.
- Checkbox for yes or no questions and lists of options.
- Dropdown for picking one answer from a list you type in.
- Signature for a signature box that PDF readers with signing support recognise.
Tips for a tidy form
Draw each field over the blank line or box already printed on the page. Give fields clear names, because readers often show the name as a hint and it becomes the column name if answers are exported. Mark a field as required so readers warn the person filling it in when it is left empty. Select a field and use the arrow keys to nudge it, or hold Shift to move it further.
Existing forms
If the PDF already has form fields, they are kept and your new fields are added alongside them. Each field needs its own name, so you are told when a name is already taken.
Private by design
Your PDF is opened and changed by your browser. Nothing is uploaded, so contracts, applications and other forms stay on this device.
