Overview

Draw where each field should go on the page and pick a field type — text, checkbox, dropdown or radio button. The download is a PDF with genuine AcroForm fields — it's fillable in Acrobat, Preview, Chrome and any other standard PDF viewer, and the entered values can be saved.

How to use it

  1. 1Drop in a PDF.
  2. 2Choose a field type, then drag a box where it belongs.
  3. 3Name each field (dropdowns also get a comma-separated option list; radio buttons sharing a group name become one choice), and mark any as required.
  4. 4Add the fields and download the fillable PDF.
