If your PDF is a scan, it often won’t have fillable fields. That’s why typing “into the form” doesn’t work. FillPDFNow lets you add text anywhere on the page and download a clean, finished PDF.

Why scanned PDFs are hard to fill

A scanned PDF is basically a picture of paper. Since it’s not “real text fields,” most PDF viewers can’t place your typing into the right spots reliably. The fix is simple: add text on top of the scan and export a final flattened PDF.
