How to Fill In a delivery note PDF

Updated 2026-09-17 · 2 min read

The usual reason to fill in a delivery note PDF is a quantity or address amended after the note was printed.

A PDF form either has real interactive fields or it is a flat picture of a form. Both can be completed properly without a printer.

Steps to fill in a delivery note PDF

Open the file and click a blank. If a cursor appears, the form is interactive — type and tab through the fields.

If nothing happens, the form is flat: add your own text boxes on the ruled lines and checkboxes in the squares.

Match the size and colour of your entries to the printed labels so the page looks typed rather than annotated.

Read it back, flatten, and save.

What to watch out for on a delivery note

With this kind of document, reference numbers repeat in the header and footer, so change both.

One caution worth stating plainly: keep the note consistent with the matching invoice.

Why the result holds up

Flattening stops values being cleared or altered by whichever reader the recipient opens it in.

Frequently asked

Why can I not type in this form?

It has no interactive fields; add text boxes over the lines instead.

Should I flatten before returning it?

Usually yes, unless the recipient reads form data automatically.

Can I fill in a delivery note PDF on a phone?

Yes. The editor runs in mobile Safari and Chrome, with touch-sized controls and a share sheet for saving the finished file.
