SimplePDF Copilot chat assistant next to a PDF editor

SimplePDF Copilot

Edit, fill, and understand PDFs by chatting with them.

Ask Copilot to fill fields, add missing fields, sign documents, clean up pages, extract text with OCR, detect form fields, or find the page that mentions fees, deadlines, signatures, or clauses you need to review.

Copilot works inside the SimplePDF editor. You see each change, correct it when needed, and keep the final say.

Not just a chatbot. A PDF editor the AI can operate.

Copilot reads the PDF, understands fields and pages, calls SimplePDF editor tools, and asks for missing information instead of guessing.

  • Fill forms
  • Edit pages
  • Extract text
  • Detect fields

What Copilot can do

Fill and sign forms

Ask Copilot to fill fields from a conversation, pasted text, or existing PDF content. It fills what is clear, asks for missing information, and stops when the user needs to decide.

Add, remove, and detect fields

Turn flat or scanned PDFs into fillable forms. Copilot can suggest fields, place them on the page, and let the user review them before use.

Clean up pages

Rotate, delete, move, and prepare pages before the PDF is downloaded or submitted.

Extract PDF content

Extract text from the PDF layer. Use OCR when pages are scanned or image-based.

Find clauses and answers

Ask questions like "Where is the cancellation clause?" or "Which page mentions late fees?" Copilot points users to the relevant page instead of forcing manual search.

Use company context

Connect Copilot to internal knowledge, RAG, MCP tools, or company systems so employees can complete PDFs with approved instructions and context.

Form Copilot mode

Fill PDF forms step by step. Copilot reads the form, asks for missing answers, fills fields, flags uncertain sections, and leaves final approval to the user.

How it works

1

Open a PDF

Drop in a PDF, load one from a URL, or embed SimplePDF inside your product.

2

Ask Copilot

Tell it what you want: fill this form, find a clause, add missing fields, rotate page 3, or extract text.

3

Review every action

Copilot changes the PDF inside the editor. The user can review, correct, undo, or continue the conversation.

4

Save or submit

Download the finished PDF, submit it through SimplePDF, or save it to your connected storage.

Built for PDFs people usually struggle through manually

Review clauses faster

Ask Copilot to find where a contract mentions cancellation, auto-renewal, late fees, liability, or unusual terms. It points the user to the relevant page and summarizes what it found.

Fill a form in another language

A user can describe their situation in plain language while Copilot maps answers to the right fields. The user still reviews every answer before signing or submitting.

Help non-technical users

Copilot can guide someone through a complex PDF step by step: what this field means, which page to check, what information is missing, and where to sign.

Onboard employees faster

Connect Copilot to company policies, HR instructions, and approved knowledge sources so new employees can complete onboarding PDFs with fewer support questions.

Turn legacy PDFs into usable forms

Detect fields on scanned or flat PDFs, add missing fields, and prepare old templates for online completion.

Handle healthcare, insurance, and admin paperwork

Use Copilot for intake forms, claims, authorizations, applications, and other PDFs where users need guidance but final answers must stay under human control.

Privacy and deployment, without black boxes

SimplePDF is browser-first: PDF editing, field placement, signing, and page operations run in the browser. For AI requests, Copilot sends the document context needed for the request through the configured AI route to the configured AI provider.

With BYOS, documents and submissions can be saved to your storage.
Without BYOS, documents and submissions can be stored in SimplePDF storage.
SimplePDF stores operational metadata needed for documents, submissions, dashboards, billing, and configuration.
Paid plans can use customer-controlled storage and AI routing.

Build your own PDF Copilot

The reference implementation is MIT-licensed. Use it with SimplePDF Embed, wire it to your AI provider, and connect it to your tools, RAG, MCP servers, or storage.
