FillOnce guide

Privacy-first PDF form filling with BYOK encryption

FillOnce fills structured PDF, Word, and spreadsheet forms from a vault encrypted with your key (BYOK). Matched fields appear for review; FillOnce never auto-submits and does not send vault values to third-party AI.

What “privacy-first form fill” means here

Privacy-first means your reusable answers stay under your encryption key, fills happen with a review gate, and marketing AI never trains on vault contents.

That is different from cloud PDF editors that keep editable copies on their servers for convenience.

Supported structured forms (honest scope)

Today: fillable PDF → filled or flat PDF / CSV; DOCX → filled DOCX / CSV; XLSX → filled XLSX / CSV; import filled DOCX into the vault.

Export (same document family) and conversion (change representation, e.g. XLSX↔CSV) are separate capabilities. Conversions require a paid plan.

How to fill a PDF without shipping data to an AI vendor

1. Create a person profile and save answers (or import from a form you already filled).

2. Upload a blank fillable PDF.

3. Review suggested mappings, export, then submit the form yourself on the destination site or portal.

Frequently asked questions

Does FillOnce store my form answers in plaintext on the server?

Live product paths use client-side BYOK ciphertext. You unlock with your passphrase in the browser. See /security for the current encryption model.

Can I fill any PDF?

No. FillOnce targets fillable (AcroForm-style) PDFs and other structured forms—DOCX and XLSX fields we can detect. Scanned image PDFs need OCR and are best-effort, not guaranteed.

Is this the same as browser password autofill?

No. Browser autofill stores a few login fields. FillOnce stores reusable profile fields for structured forms and maps them with review.
