PDF Form Filler

Upload a PDF with form fields. Fill them directly in the viewer below, then click the button to save and download the filled form. Also supports XFA forms.

Note on XFA Forms: XFA (XML Forms Architecture) is a legacy format that's only supported by certain PDF viewers like pdfup and Firefox. If you open an XFA PDF in other software and see blank pages or no form fields, it means that viewer doesn't support XFA. To view and fill XFA forms properly, use Firefox or pdfup's Form Filler.

Frequently Asked Questions

These are two different technologies for creating interactive PDF forms:

  • AcroForms (Standard): Most common type, supported by all modern PDF viewers including Adobe Acrobat, Chrome, Edge, and Safari.
  • XFA Forms (Legacy): XML-based forms, mainly used in older systems. Only supported by some viewers like Firefox and Adobe Acrobat.
  • Our Tool: Supports both formats. If your form appears blank in Chrome but works in Firefox, it's likely an XFA form that our tool can handle.

Yes, absolutely. Security is our top priority:

  • Local Processing: All processing happens in your browser. Files never upload to any server.
  • No Data Storage: We don't store, view, or access your files or form data.
  • Privacy Guaranteed: Your sensitive information (tax forms, applications, contracts) remains completely private.
  • No Internet Required: Once the page loads, you can work offline.

  • Save Partially Filled Forms: Click "Save & Download" at any time to save your progress.
  • Re-upload Later: Upload the partially filled PDF later to continue where you left off.
  • Browser Session: Your data remains in the browser until you close the tab (but we recommend saving regularly).

  • Button Fields: Push buttons, reset buttons, submit buttons
