iPhone PDF Problems Solved

PDF opens in Files app instead of browser?

Don't tap the PDF in Files to open it. Instead, use Safari to go to our website first, then upload from there. This keeps everything in the browser where our editor works.

Can't type in certain fields?

Some PDFs have 'locked' fields. Our tool lets you add text boxes ON TOP of locked PDFs. Tap 'Add Text' and place a text box over the field you want to fill.

Signature looks pixelated?

Draw your signature larger than needed, then shrink it down. This maintains quality. Also, draw slowly and smoothly for best results.
