Your choice: editable or flattened

Keep fields editable to update them later. Flattening makes the field values part of the page. It does not prevent all PDF editing.

Keep an editable copy if you may revise the form.

What if my PDF has no fillable fields?

This tool fills existing interactive fields. For a flat PDF or scan, use Edit PDF to add text. Unsupported field types are flagged in the workspace.

Your files stay on your device
