    • Windows — Right-click the PDF, select Open with in the drop-down menu, and click Google Chrome in the resulting pop-out list.
    • Mac — Click the PDF once to select it, click File, select Open With in the drop-down menu, and click Google Chrome in the resulting pop-out list.

    Fill out your PDF. Click a text field in the PDF and type in your answer, then repeat with the PDF's other text fields until you've filled out the whole PDF.

  • Question

    How can I save a fillable PDF on Google Chrome and have the resulting PDF still be updateable?

    Community Answer

    You can't. You have to use some other application. Microsoft used to have a free PDF viewer that did a fine job of this, but they discontinued service for it and now you have to use Microsoft Edge.

  • Question

    What about when I save the PDF? It does not allow me to go back to fill out or delete anything I have on the form.

    Community Answer

    A PDF is not supposed to be edited. If you want to, there are two options: print the document, fill everything out, then scan it back into the computer as an image before converting it into a PDF, or you can convert it into an editable document, like a Word or Google doc.
