Questions
Are my files uploaded?
No. Everything runs inside your browser on your own device. Your files never leave it.
Is my signature saved?
No. Your signature stays in the memory of this page while it is open. It is not uploaded and it is not stored in your browser, so it is gone when you close or reload the page.
What kind of signature is this?
The signature is an image of your signature placed on the page. It is not an advanced or qualified electronic signature under the EU eIDAS rules.
What does Flatten the form do?
It draws your answers on the page and removes the form fields, so nobody can change them in a PDF reader. Leave it off if someone still needs to fill in or edit the form.
Which characters can I type in the form fields?
Letters, numbers and symbols of Western European languages, such as é, ñ or ß. Other characters, such as Ł or Chinese characters, cannot be written in the form fields yet, and the page tells you which ones to remove.
Why is my PDF form marked with an error?
Some forms use XFA, a kind of form that this tool cannot fill in or sign. If your PDF has one, it is marked with an error and nothing is changed.
What happens to a PDF that is already digitally signed?
The new file no longer has a valid digital signature: any change to a digitally signed PDF breaks it. Keep the original file.
Can I use a password-protected PDF?
Not directly. A PDF that is password-protected or encrypted is marked with an error and nothing is changed. If you have its password, unlock it first with the Unlock PDF tool and use the unlocked copy.
