Fill PDF forms privately (no upload)

Complete text fields, checkboxes, and dropdowns in the browser, then flatten. Keep tax and HR forms on your device.

Open Fill & Flatten PDF Forms

Why upload form fillers are risky

Fillable PDFs often hold SSNs, addresses, and bank details. Cloud fillers take a full copy to render fields. Filling locally means answers never leave your machine until you choose to download and send the result yourself.

Fill, review, flatten

Open Fill & Flatten, load the PDF, complete fields, then download a filled copy. Flatten when recipients should not edit answers in a viewer. If a page has no AcroForm fields, use Add Text instead. Sign after filling when a signature line remains blank.

After the form is done

Merge supporting pages into one packet, compress if email rejects the size, and password-protect when the recipient should need a key. Redact any fields that must not appear in the shared version.
