Fill PDF forms

Fill out a PDF form on your phone, one question at a time

Fillstep reads the form, turns every blank into a clear question and writes your answers back into the PDF. It works with fillable PDFs, flat PDFs and scanned paper forms.

Fillstep on iPhone: Where is this? shows the property address field highlighted on the PDF page.

How it works

  1. 01

    Open the form

    Tap Open a PDF, or share a PDF to Fillstep from Files, Mail, WhatsApp or Drive. A paper form can be scanned, and photos of a form become a PDF.

  2. 02

    Answer the questions

    Text, dates in the format the form asks for, Yes or No, tick boxes and tables. Fill my details answers the personal ones in one tap.

  3. 03

    Check where each answer goes

    Where is this? highlights the field on the page. On a large iPad or a Mac the page sits beside the questions and fills in as you type.

  4. 04

    Make the PDF and share it

    Review shows any missing answers first. Then share or save a normal PDF that shows every answer in any PDF app.

Fillable, flat or scanned, it works either way

If the PDF has form fields, Fillstep uses them. If it doesn't, such as a scan, a photo or a PDF printed from a Word file, it reads the page on your device and finds the lines and boxes where answers go.

If a blank is missed, add your own text, date, tick, cross or signature anywhere on the page and place it exactly.

Type your details once

Save your name, date of birth, address, email and phone in My details. When a form asks for them, Fillstep suggests the answer under the question. Nothing is filled without a tap.

Stop and come back later

Every answer is saved on your device as you go. Open the form again and tap Continue filling to pick up at the same question.

  • The free plan saves 3 new forms a month. Editing and saving again a form you already saved is always free.
  • Forms that require a government certificate signature can't be signed with Fillstep.
