FAQs

How is this free?

We built this editor to show off the PDF Otter API. Our API customers help keep this tool available for free. Are you a developer or have a cool idea for the API? Don't hesitate to reach out to us at api@pdfotter.com.

Can I add a signature to the PDF?

You can select a script font like Dancing Script from the font options to make text look like a signature. This is usually fine if the delivery mechanism you use to send your document can verify your identity. However, this is technically not an e-signature or digital signature that can be linked to you.

How do I fill in checkboxes or radio buttons?

PDF Otter mainly applies text to the PDF you pass into it. However, that doesn't mean you can't fill in a form with radio buttons or checkboxes. Just type in 'X' over the selection's radio button or checkbox and the recipient of the form will understand that it means you selected that option.

What kinds of PDFs do you support?

We support PDFs that are less than 10MB and whose pages don't vary in size. If you want to use PDF Otter for an unsupported PDF, please reach out to us at help@pdfotter.com

Can I save my template to reuse it?

Yes, but saving the template requires you to sign up. If you sign up after filling in a PDF, your templates and files will be carried over to your account. In that case, we won't delete the files after 24hrs. We'll leave it to you to delete them manually.

When can I add an image to my PDF?

This feature isn't supported yet. Adding images is on our roadmap. Want this or any other feature now? Email us at help@pdfotter.com and we'll consider prioritizing it!
