Filling out PDFs

Omarchy ships with a nice, basic PDF viewer called Document Viewer. This is the program that’ll open any PDFs you just double click on.

But you can only use Document Viewer to fill out PDFs that have been setup as forms. If you need to fill out PDFs that haven’t, or you need to sign a PDF, use Signed. Start it via the application launcher (Super + Space), or right-click the file, select Open With…, and pick Signed.

Press T to type text and D to put down today’s date. Both land where your mouse pointer is. Drag anything to move it, drag its corner to make it bigger or smaller, and double-click text to change it.

To sign, you’ll need a picture of your signature: a scan, or a well-lit photo of it on white paper. Open the Signature menu (Shift + S), choose Add signature…, pick the picture, and give it a name. Signed removes the paper and keeps the ink. From then on, S puts your signature under the mouse pointer.

When you’re done, use Save signed copy… (Ctrl + S) to save the filled-out PDF beside the original, which is never changed. Press ? inside Signed to see every shortcut.
