What this tool does
- You type into the boxes, in their place on the page: not into a list of unreadable field names beside it.
- The values are DRAWN onto a rebuilt document: what you typed and then corrected exists nowhere in the file.
- A PDF reader, by contrast, often saves incrementally, and the office receiving it gets your successive values, underneath the right ones.
- The result no longer depends on the reader at the other end: drawn text looks the same everywhere, and prints.
- Boxes pre-filled and locked by the administration are shown, never overwritten.
What it does not do: The document you get is no longer a form: the boxes are removed, and it cannot be filled in again. That is the price of the guarantee that no erased value is sleeping in the file; to keep a fillable form, you need a PDF reader. A multi-line field keeps your line breaks but does not wrap text on its own, and XFA forms (an abandoned Adobe extension that only Acrobat displays) cannot be read.

- Delete pages : Remove pages while looking at them, and they do not survive under the file you get.
