Type on a scanned PDF with no form fields

A scanned form, a PDF made from a Word file, a page someone printed and photographed: there are no boxes to click, so ordinary form fillers can do nothing with it. In PDFPane you click anywhere and type.

A flat PDF with no form fields in PDFPane, with text typed directly onto the page lines
No fields at all: text typed straight onto the lines.

Step by step

  1. Open PDFPane in your browser and drop the scan in. If it has no fields, PDFPane says so and switches to typing on the page.
  2. Click where the text should go and type. What you see is exactly where it lands in the file.
  3. Drag any text to line it up with the printed line.
  4. Use Tick, Cross or Dot for check boxes printed on the scan, and Date for today's date.
  5. Sign with Sign, then download a new copy.
