What it does
PDF Buddy provides online form completion, signatures, highlighting, whiteout, merging, and splitting. A monthly free allowance is offered alongside premium access.
Choose the PDF, fill the form or add visible markup, then budget for the download. Every download costs one credit, including a second download of the same file. A new account starts with one credit; the advertised three monthly free PDFs depend on earning credits through social sharing. Paid credit packs and a monthly subscription are alternatives. Output keeps original links and form fields visible but disables their interactivity, so use it for a finished copy that no longer needs clickable links or editable fields.
Strengths
- Combines form completion with simple browser page tools.
Watch out for
- Original hyperlinks and fillable fields become inactive in the output.
- Free monthly credits require social sharing, and repeated downloads consume credits.
Best for
- Occasional PDF form completion
