Show HN: I built a free AI tool that makes a pdf fillable

1 alexander-g 0 9/5/2025, 9:51:08 PM instafill.ai ↗

Some PDF forms have no fillable fields. When opened in Adobe Reader, there are no fields to type into. This AI converter automatically adds fillable fields to the PDF, technically turning it into a form.

Adding fields manually is a tedious process that nobody enjoys. This is the kind of work that should be automated.

This AI PDF converter is free and capable of processing even long documents with dozens or hundreds of pages. For larger PDFs, it may take more time.

It works best on PDFs created from Word documents. Please set the right expectations and be prepared to manually adjust any fields the AI might miss or place incorrectly. This can happen, especially with complex layouts.
