How do I create a fillable PDF?

Upload a PDF to the form editor. Existing form fields are loaded automatically, while fillable areas in non-fillable PDFs can be detected automatically. You can also manually add or adjust text fields, checkboxes, dropdowns, and other form fields as needed.

Can I fill a PDF that already contains form fields?

Yes. Open the existing PDF form, enter information into its original fields, review the completed form, and save or download it.

Does LightPDF support smart PDF form filling?

Yes. Enter information in natural language or upload a supported data file, and LightPDF matches it to the corresponding PDF fields. You can also use Batch Fill to complete multiple forms.

What is a PDF form group?

A PDF form group lets you save multiple related PDF forms together and reuse the same information across them. Enter shared details once, and Smart Fill can apply them to matching fields in every form.

How does LightPDF protect my PDF form data?

LightPDF uses technical and organizational safeguards to protect personal data and prevent unauthorized access. According to its Privacy Policy, files stored on its servers are accessible only to their owner.
