SimplePDF
SimplePDF edits, fills, signs, and manages PDF documents in a browser. Users can add text, checkboxes, and images, detect form fields automatically, and sign documents. Page controls merge PDFs, reorder, rotate, or delete pages, and add blank pages or additional PDFs. The maker says editing happens in the browser and documents stay on the user’s device. Businesses can embed PDFs, collect submissions, and automate workflows through a Chrome extension, React component, web script, iframe, Bubble plugin, or WordPress plugin. Connections to Make and n8n support document processing, while S3-compatible storage, webhooks, and email alerts support completed submissions. Plans are marked GDPR compliant; Free, Pro, and Premium are marked HIPAA compliant. Paid PHI workflows should use Bring Your Own Storage, with a BAA available on request. It offers extension and web access, with a free plan and paid plans from $99 a month.
