How do I fill a PDF form online for free?

Upload the fillable PDF, type into the fields shown, then click Fill & download. Runs in your browser.

What if no fields appear?

The PDF has no fillable (AcroForm) fields — it may be a flat scan. Use Sign PDF to add text and a signature instead.

What does flatten do?

Flattening locks your answers into the page so they can't be edited later. Leave it off to keep the form editable.

No — filling happens locally in your browser on scantext.net.

About this tool

You can optionally flatten the result so the values become permanent. It's the quick way to complete an application, registration, or government form without printing.
