Fill out a PDF form
Click a field and type; Tab takes you to the next one. What you enter is written into the PDF, so every reader and printer shows it. Nothing is uploaded.
Why the limit? The editor works on your file on your own device, with nothing uploaded. That takes browser features only recent desktop versions of Chrome and Edge have.
or drop one anywhere on this page
Your file stays on this device. Nothing is uploaded.
Text, boxes and lists
Text fields, fields divided into boxes for single letters, check boxes, radio buttons and drop-down lists are filled in where they are on the page.
Shown by every reader
The value and the way it looks are both written into the file. A form you fill in here looks the same in any PDF reader and on paper. An entry that is too long for its field is cut off at the field’s edge. Letters the form’s font lacks are set in a font of the editor’s; a script it has no font for, such as Arabic or Chinese, cannot be entered.
Printed forms too
A form that was made for paper often has no fields to click. Where its lines and boxes are drawn in the file, as in a form saved from a word processor or a design program, OasisPDF finds the places to write in and offers to make them fields: one press, and you fill it in like any form, Tab from field to field.
A scanned form? Type on the page
A scanned form is a picture: it has nothing to click, and its lines are not found. Use the text tool to type on them; in a box, type an X or draw a tick with the Draw tool.
Sign it when you are done
Add your signature as a drawing, typed in handwriting, or from a photo, and save.

Questions and answers
Is the information I type sent anywhere?
No. The form is filled in by your browser on your own device. Names, numbers and addresses you enter are in the file you save and nowhere else.
Why does a total not add up by itself?
Some forms carry small programs that calculate, format or check what is entered. OasisPDF does not run them: a date or an amount stays as you typed it, nothing is checked, and a field that is calculated from others keeps what it held, as does a barcode made from the entries. Type the result yourself; a calculated field that the form has locked cannot be changed here.
The form says it needs Adobe Reader. Can I fill it in?
Forms written only in XFA, a form language of Adobe’s programs, hold no ordinary fields and cannot be filled in here. OasisPDF tells you when a file is one of these. Forms that hold both kinds can be filled in.
My form has no fields I can click. Can I still fill it in?
Often, yes. When the form’s lines and boxes are drawn in the file, OasisPDF says how many places to fill in it found, and "Make it fillable" turns them into fields. The fields are added to the file itself, so the form can be filled in with other PDF readers afterwards too. A place that was not found, and a form that was scanned, are filled in with the text tool.
