How to make a PDF fillable

  1. Add a PDF file.
  2. Choose a page and position a box where a field should go.
  3. Name the field and choose text field or checkbox.
  4. Select Add field, repeat as needed, then create your fillable PDF.

How this works

Your browser creates genuine AcroForm fields — the same underlying technology used by professional PDF form software — and places them at the exact positions you choose. The result opens as a real fillable form in any standard PDF reader, not just an image overlay.

A note on scope

This creates new text fields and checkboxes at positions you place manually; it does not automatically detect where fields should go from the PDF's existing layout. To fill in or flatten fields that already exist in a PDF, use the PDF Editor instead.

Common use cases

  • Turn a plain PDF into a fillable form with text fields and checkboxes
  • Add a signature/initial checkbox and text fields to a contract template
  • Create a simple fillable intake or application PDF without design software
