How to create a fillable PDF form

  1. 1

    Open your PDF

    Drop in the document. It opens in the editor right in your browser and is never uploaded.

  2. 2

    Place the fields

    Choose Text field from the Form menu (or a checkbox, radio button, dropdown, date or signature field) and click or drag where each answer goes. Or press "Find the blanks on this page" to put fields over every printed ____ line and box in one go.

  3. 3

    Name them

    Select a field to give it a name, a label, its choices, a default and whether it is required.

  4. 4

    Download

    Press Download to get a new PDF with your changes built in. The original file is left exactly as it was.

Frequently asked

Will the fields work in Acrobat and other apps?+

Yes. They are standard PDF form fields (AcroForm), the same kind Acrobat creates, so they can be filled in Acrobat Reader, Preview, Chrome, Edge, Firefox and on phones — and in Fill PDF Form here.

Can I make a signature field?+

Yes. A signature field marks where a signature belongs; the person filling in the form signs it in their PDF app. To place a drawn or typed signature on the page yourself, use Sign instead.

Does it find the blanks for me?+

It can. With a field tool chosen, press "Find the blanks on this page": every underscored line and dotted leader becomes a text field and every box character a checkbox, named after the words beside them.

Is my file uploaded?+

No. The editor runs inside your browser, so the document never leaves your device. Edits are kept as a draft on your own device until you start over.
