Drawing PDF preview…
Place movable text fields, checkboxes, and typed-signature fields on PDF pages and export a standard fillable AcroForm.
Step by step
01Choose the source
Choose the PDF that will become the printed background for the form. Start with the built-in registration sample to see how positioned fields work. The PDF is processed on your device rather than uploaded to a conversion service.
02Edit and inspect
Choose text, checkbox, or typed-signature mode and click or drag on the page to add a field. Drag an existing field to move it, or use its corner to resize it. Give every field a unique name and set required or multiline options as needed.
03Export and verify
Inspect each page and export the fillable PDF. Test the download in the viewer your recipients use. The exported PDF replaces the source’s interactive annotations, so keep the original PDF if it contains links, bookmarks, fields, or signatures you need. Save layout downloads editable field positions; reopen the original PDF before opening that layout.
Why this one
Standard AcroForm fields
The output uses conventional PDF text fields and checkboxes. No account, hosted submission endpoint, or remote data storage is created. Recipients fill the PDF in a compatible viewer and save or return their completed file through their own workflow.
Coordinates follow the visible page
Source crop boxes and rotation are normalized before fields are added. This avoids placing a field relative to an unrotated page when the user sees a rotated one. The editor’s positions are percentages of the visible page, with exact controls for correction.
Signatures have a specific meaning
A typed-signature box is an ordinary text field. It does not authenticate a signer, create an audit trail, or add a cryptographic PDF signature. Existing digital signatures do not survive rebuilding the source as a new fillable document.
FAQ
The fillable PDF form builder saves a local JSON layout with field positions and page dimensions. It excludes the source PDF. To continue, choose the original PDF and open the saved layout; page dimensions must match.
The fillable PDF form builder can place input fields over a scanned PDF page. It does not use OCR to infer fields; position them manually.
The fillable PDF form builder provides typed-signature text fields, not a cryptographic signature service or identity verification.
The fillable PDF form builder normalizes printed page content and creates a new form. Existing links, annotations, form fields, bookmarks, and digital signatures are not retained.
The fillable PDF form builder sets the PDF required flag. Enforcement depends on the receiving PDF viewer and does not prevent every viewer from saving an incomplete file.
The editor processes source files and project content in your browser. No AI service or third-party processing API is used. Shared links contain settings only; files and private content stay on your device unless you choose to download and share them.
