Food truck permits, filled automatically
Every city wants the same information on a different form. AutoFill PDFs reads any food truck permit, health department, or event application PDF and fills it from your saved vendor profile — fillable forms or scanned ones. Upload a form, download it filled, in minutes.
No credit card required · Works with any PDF · Under 2 minutes a form
The food truck paperwork trap
The cooking is the easy part. The forms are what eat your week.
Every city, a different form
Chicago, Austin, Houston — each jurisdiction has its own permit PDF asking for the same 20 fields in a different order. You fill them over and over.
Scanned PDFs you can't type into
Half of county and health department forms are flat scans with no fillable fields. The usual answer is print, hand-write, and re-scan. There's a faster way.
Deadlines and COI requests
An event organizer needs your application and a certificate of insurance by Friday. Re-keying everything under deadline is how mistakes — and lost spots — happen.

Food truck operator questions
Can AutoFill PDFs fill out my city's food truck permit application?
Yes. Upload any city or county food truck permit, health department application, or event vendor form as a PDF, and AutoFill PDFs maps your saved vendor profile to the right fields. It works whether the form is a fillable PDF or a flat scanned document.
Does it work with scanned or non-fillable permit PDFs?
Yes. Many county and health department permit forms are scanned images with no fillable fields. AutoFill PDFs reads those too — its AI detects where each field belongs and places your information, so you don't have to print, hand-write, and re-scan.
I apply in multiple cities — do I re-enter my information every time?
No. You build your vendor profile once (business name, owner, EIN, license numbers, commissary address, insurance details), and every new city's form fills from it. Working Chicago this month and Austin next month no longer means retyping the same 20 fields twice.
Can it handle commissary letters, license numbers, and COI fields?
The repetitive identity fields — business name, owner, EIN, license and permit numbers, commissary address, insurance carrier and policy number — are stored in your profile and filled automatically. You attach supporting documents (the signed commissary letter, your COI) the same way you would otherwise.
How much does it cost for a food truck operator?
You can start free with 10 credits per month (1 credit = 1 page). Paid plans start at $19/month for operators filing more permits across more cities. No credit card required to start.
Is my business information secure?
Your vendor profile is stored to fill your forms and is never sold. You stay in control of your data and can review every filled form before you download and submit it.
