PDF Forms

Fill in form fields or flatten them into the page.

Fillable PDF forms are convenient until you need to lock in the answers or share a clean copy. This tool lets you keep the editable fields or flatten them so the values become part of the page.

Flattening is the safe way to finalize a form before sending it, since recipients can no longer change the entries.

How to fill or flatten a PDF form

  1. Choose the PDF form.
  2. Decide whether to flatten the fields into the page.
  3. Run the tool.
  4. Download the finished form.

Frequently asked questions

What does flattening do?

It merges the filled-in values into the page so they can no longer be edited as fields.

Should I flatten before emailing?

Usually yes, to prevent further changes — unless the recipient must still fill it in.
