Fill Pdf With Your Saved Profile

Fill PDF with your saved profile

The Fill PDF feature (in the app navigation) is for PDF files that already contain fillable fields (interactive form fields in the PDF). It is different from the Chrome extension, which targets web pages in the browser.

What you can do

  1. Upload a PDF from your device.
  2. hivi analyzes the form fields and proposes values from your saved profile in the app.
  3. You review each field: accept, edit, or pick another value from your profile search where the app offers it.
  4. If the PDF is password-protected, enter the password when prompted.
  5. When you are satisfied, follow the on-screen steps to finish. The app offers a download such as FDF or XFDF (depending on the file). Import that data in a desktop PDF reader (Adobe Acrobat, Preview on macOS, Foxit, and similar) into your original PDF—the on-screen help in the app lists common menu paths.

Button labels can change with product updates; always read the step headers on Fill PDF while you work.

When Fill PDF fits better than the extension

  • The organization needs a downloaded PDF rather than a web-only form.
  • You already have the official government or company PDF template.
  • You want a structured review of every PDF field before you submit the file elsewhere.

When the Chrome extension fits better

  • The process lives entirely in a browser form on a website.
