Field notes
PDFpad treats a completed form as a final document rather than a collection of movable answers: additions are drawn into the page on save, and existing form fields are flattened. Its mobile workflow includes thumb-sized controls and signatures made by finger, typed text, or a photographed paper signature. The homepage also offers dated, sourced comparisons of built-in PDF tools, including cases where those tools stop short.
