Fill and Sign PDF — Free Court-Ready Tool (No Upload)

When a landlord, court clerk, or HR department needs a legible PDF, the Fill & Sign PDF tool lets you add text boxes, draw or type a signature, and export a flattened copy. Everything happens locally, so sensitive filings stay off the internet.

Why courts and landlords care about legible, signed PDFs

Clerks reject handwritten screenshots, and landlords want typed fields they can read years later. A clear PDF speeds up notarization through the Notarization Cover Sheet, helps when drafting a motion, and keeps HR packets, like the Employment Offer Letter, consistent.

The difference between typing your name and a stored signature

Typing “/s/ Jane Doe” works for many e-filings, but a drawn or styled signature adds authenticity. CourtPDF stores your signature only in the open browser tab—never on our servers—so you can place it on multiple pages without re-uploading.

Step-by-step: upload → add text → add signature → download

1. Open the Fill & Sign PDF tool and upload (or load the sample).
2. Click Add Text Field to drop labels, dates, or case captions.
3. Choose Create Signature to draw with your mouse or type your name in a script font.
4. Place the signature anywhere, repeat on additional pages, then download the flattened PDF.

How privacy works

CourtPDF uses pdf-lib and canvas rendering inside your browser. No file upload, no storage, and no analytics on the documents themselves. Pair the signed PDF with PDF Redactor or Flatten PDF before bundling inCourt Bundle Maker.

FAQs

Can a filled-and-signed PDF be notarized?

Yes. Print it and sign in front of a notary, or use the Notarization Cover Sheet with scanned ID images.

Is this secure enough for legal documents?

All rendering happens locally. Close the tab and the PDF, text boxes, and signatures disappear from memory.

What if the form is multi-page?

Navigate with the page controls to add fields or signatures anywhere. You can place multiple signatures—for example, one per spouse on a motion or settlement agreement.
