PDF Forms
Most PDF Apps Just Show You a Page.
PDFKit Turns It Into a Form.
Import any PDF and PDFKit finds the fields for you — text fields, checkboxes, labels — no manual field-drawing required. Save it as a template once, then fill and export it in seconds every time after.
From Static PDF to Reusable Form
PDFKit isn't a PDF viewer with a form layer bolted on — form detection and template reuse are the whole point.
Auto-Detect Form Fields
Heuristic detection of text fields (underlines, labels), checkboxes, and more — no manual field-drawing required to get started.
AI Enhance (Premium)
Cloud-assisted detection via Cloud Printer catches the fields local heuristics miss, and merges straight into what's already found.
Visual Field Editor
Drag, resize, add, delete, and configure fields directly on top of the rendered PDF — nothing is final until you say so.
Template Library
Save a PDF and its field definitions together as a reusable template — set it up once, use it every time after.
Fill & Export
Fill a template's fields and share the completed PDF — interactive for the recipient to adjust, or flattened with values burned in.
Chained Detection Pipeline
Underline, label, and checkbox detectors run in sequence and de-duplicate overlapping finds, so one field doesn't turn into two boxes.
The Part Most PDF Apps Skip
Drawing form fields by hand on every PDF you need to fill out is easy to build and tedious to use. Finding them for you, correctly, the first time, is the actual hard part.
Local detection runs first
Underline, label, and checkbox heuristics scan the page layout — fully offline, no upload required to get started.
Overlapping detections merge
When two heuristics catch the same field, they're de-duplicated — so you don't end up editing two boxes for one field.
AI Enhance fills the gaps
Opt in, and the PDF goes to Cloud Printer for cloud-assisted detection — returned fields merge with what was already found locally.
Everything stays editable
Every detected field lands as an overlay you can drag, resize, or delete before it's ever saved to a template.
What PDFKit Actually Does
No hand-waving about what's "AI-powered." Here's the actual behavior.
- ✓Local-first detection. Underline, label, and checkbox heuristics run entirely on-device — AI Enhance is opt-in, not required.
- ✓Templates stay on your device. The source PDF and its field definitions are stored locally, together, under your control.
- ✓Standard AcroForm output. Filled PDFs use the same form standard every PDF reader already understands — no proprietary format lock-in.
- ✓Your choice on export. Share an interactive PDF the recipient can still edit, or a flattened one with the values burned in.
- ✓Nothing final until you confirm it. Every auto-detected field is an editable overlay, not a committed change.
- ✓One account, more than one app. AI Enhance signs in with the same Cloud Printer account used across other Arc Canyon apps that plug into it.
