# Filling your PDF form with field-specific information

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

Referring back to our example from earlier:

## Checkboxes

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

## Text fields

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

## Date fields

If your PDF form contains field that look like this

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>:
