Fill PDF forms in your browser

Detect every fillable field in a PDF, type values, choose options — save as an editable form or flattened static PDF.

Modern PDF forms use AcroForm — a standard for interactive fields (text, checkboxes, radio buttons, dropdowns). The Rankato Form Filler detects every field, presents them in a clean UI, and saves your values back into the PDF. Choose editable (recipients can change values) or flattened (values become permanent page content).

Field detection

Every fillable field in the PDF appears in the sidebar with its label (from the field's tooltip or nearby text). Text inputs, checkboxes, radio button groups, dropdowns, and multi-line text areas — all fully supported.

Save modes

Editable: values are saved into the form; recipients can change them. Flattened: values become permanent page content; recipients can view but not edit. Pick flattened before sending finished forms.

What about XFA forms?

Some PDFs use XFA (Adobe's legacy dynamic form format) instead of AcroForm. XFA support is limited across viewers and this tool only handles AcroForm. If you see a message about "missing form fields," the PDF likely uses XFA — try the Convert to PDF (via print) trick to flatten to AcroForm-compatible content first.

Tool FAQs

Everything you need to know about using Fill PDF Forms.

Does my PDF get uploaded to a server?+

No. This tool runs entirely in your browser using pdf-lib and pdf.js loaded as WebAssembly. Open your browser's Network tab while processing and you'll see zero uploads — your PDFs never leave your device. That's why confidential contracts, tax records, and internal docs are safe to run through this tool.

Can I create a new form from scratch?+

Not in this tool — for form authoring, use Adobe Acrobat or an online form builder. This tool only fills existing forms.

Can I process multiple PDFs at once?+

Yes — batch mode is available on the Pro plan. Free users process one file at a time. Pro unlocks unlimited concurrent PDF processing across every tool in the suite.
