Fill a PDF form
Fill ordinary text, choice and check box fields in a PDF form.
Steps
Open the PDF and choose Fill Form.
Choose an ordinary field and enter or select its value.
Move through the remaining fields and check required entries.
If a field is locked, read the reason shown by ExplorePDF. Fields calculated, checked or formatted by the PDF's own scripts are shown but not filled because ExplorePDF does not run those scripts.
Check totals and formatted values yourself when the form says that its own scripts are unavailable.
Choose Save a Copy, then choose a name and location. The filled form is saved as a new PDF and the original stays unchanged.
Fields ExplorePDF does not fill
- Calculated or scripted fields are locked.
- Password fields are not filled, so a password is never stored in the PDF.
- Read only fields stay unchanged.
