Coordinates use PDF points with origin at the bottom-left of the page. List order is tab order on export. Date and Signature types create text widgets (pdf-lib has no native date/Sig creators) — fillable placeholders, not Acrobat date/signature field semantics.
Cancel finishes the current step, then stops (no mid-step abort).
Your file never leaves this device for this operation.
How it works
- Upload a PDF that should become fillable.
- Add fields with type, name, page, and geometry.
- Export a PDF with AcroForm fields embedded locally.
Privacy
This tool runs in your browser. Your file is not uploaded to process it.
Limits
- Field placement is manual (no click-to-place canvas yet).
- Existing form fields are not listed or edited in this version.
- Viewer support for buttons and dropdowns varies by PDF reader.
FAQ
- Can I redesign an existing form?
- You can add new fields. This tool does not extract or rewrite an existing form layout.
- Are coordinates from the top-left?
- No. PDF user space uses a bottom-left origin. Y increases upward.
