About Fill in a PDF form

PDF Forms opens a fillable PDF, lets you type into its fields, tick its boxes and pick from its lists, and saves a PDF with your answers in place. It runs in your browser, so a form full of personal details is never uploaded.

  • Application forms
  • Bank and KYC forms
  • Tax forms
  • Leave and HR forms

How to fill in a PDF form

  1. Drop the form

    A PDF with form fields. Up to 500 MB.

  2. Fill in the fields

    Click a field and type; tick boxes and choose from drop-downs.

  3. Save the filled PDF

    Download it, then add a signature with Sign PDF if it needs one.

Why your file never leaves your device

Most online tools upload your file to a server, work on it there, and keep a copy for a while. Thryve PDF does the work inside your browser instead, with code that runs on your own device, so there is no upload, no copy on a server and nothing to delete afterwards. Close the tab and the file is gone from memory. It also means the tools keep working on a slow connection once the page has loaded.

Questions, answered

My form has no fields to click. What now?
It is a flat PDF. Use Fill and sign PDF instead: it lets you type anywhere on the page and add a date and signature.
Are my answers saved in the file?
Yes. The exported PDF holds your answers in its form fields, so they show in any viewer.
Is my PDF uploaded to a server?
No. The PDF is opened and processed inside your browser tab, on your own device, and the result is saved straight back to it. Thryve has no server that receives files.
Is it free?
Yes. This page gives 10 free exports every rolling 30 days, with no account. Thryve Pro, $9.99 once with no subscription, removes the limit on every Thryve PDF, Photo, Media and Invoice page.
Do I need to sign up?
No. Drop a file and start. An account is only needed to buy Thryve Pro, so the licence can follow you between devices.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes, in Chrome, Safari, Edge or Firefox on Android and iPhone, as well as on Windows, Mac and Linux. Since the work happens on the device, a large file takes longer on a phone than on a laptop.
