About this tool
PDF forms that have been properly authored with AcroForm fields are surprisingly pleasant to fill: click a field, type the value, tab to the next one. Most government forms and standard business forms work this way. The tool detects all the field types — text boxes, checkboxes, radio groups, dropdown lists, date fields — and presents them for input.
Flattening after filling embeds the values into the page content itself and removes the editable fields. A flattened form looks identical to the filled version but cannot be emptied and refilled. It is also slightly smaller, and the values are safe from being cleared by a form-reset action. Whether to flatten depends on whether you want to present a final, locked version or keep the form editable for revision.
