# Filling your PDF form with field-specific information

Any information that isn't provided as "[commonly used" information](/into-the-weeds/configuring-pdf-form-fills-in-scribeware/filling-your-pdf-form-with-commonly-used-information.md) can be filled from your [PDF form fields](/into-the-weeds/configuring-pdf-form-fills-in-scribeware/adding-pdf-form-fields-to-your-scribeware-template.md)!

Referring back to our example from earlier:

## Checkboxes

We want to tie the first 3 checkboxes to the corresponding checkboxes on the PDF form:

<figure><img src="/files/R8vWtpD7iHUAfAIxLqhr" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

1. Edit the section&#x20;
2. Click on the field to edit
3. click on "PDF Forms"&#x20;

   <figure><img src="/files/YmMnwrcCdWVh9LEDQoRW" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
4. Enter the [Database Field Name](/into-the-weeds/configuring-pdf-form-fills-in-scribeware/uncover-your-pdfs-database-field-names.md) of each of the field names

<figure><img src="/files/fvGxR7Cyzb5mmnbM82o6" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

## Text fields

Similarly, plain text fields can be filled via the 'free form' text entry at the end of each field:

<figure><img src="/files/uqym25YCNorwvmMD9ViZ" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

<figure><img src="/files/qELi45eq2kkSjFrMkecZ" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

## Date fields

If your PDF form contains field that look like this

<figure><img src="/files/USVI1KKyLs0TVVylXvf8" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

It's actually configured as 3 separate fields, each with their own Database Field names.    Configure it in ScribeWare as \<field 1>/\<field 2>/\<field 3>:

<figure><img src="/files/DFYtU9LEGiduzNqvor4a" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

{% hint style="info" %}
Dates must use "/" as the separator.
{% endhint %}
