Hey everyone, I'm Ben, the creator and developer of SimplePDF ✌️
Being born in France, I know a things or two about PDF forms.
The thing is, forms are EVERYWHERE 🤯
Every time I needed to fill one, I would look around online: "fill PDF online" but I would
- Not find a good PDF filler that would be free, or at a reasonable price
- Would not really want to use any of these online tools for sensitive forms
I couldn't quite understand WHY no-one had built a VERY simple PDF filler and editor: I never needed more than adding a couple of fields, my picture and my signature.
YET every single tool was either too bloated, too slow, too expensive...
So 4 years ago, I started working on my free time on SimplePDF, and recently released a Chrome extension
Chrome extension that I'm launching today, on PH! 🤓
The SimplePDF Chrome extension allows you to:
- Add text, checkboxes, pictures, signatures to PDF files 📝
- Add, remove, rotate, re-arrange PDF pages 🔄
- Zoom IN and OUT of PDFs 🔍
- It automatically detects fillable forms 🤖
- It respects your privacy: the document you load and the data you fill in are never sent to the server! 🔐
- It's free – you can read more WHY I made it free here: https://simplepdf.eu/help/faq/is...
- Does not require creating an account (I don't like products that force you to sign up)
