How to Mail a PDF Document Online

How to mail a PDF online without a printer

Need to send a signed form, letter, or application — but don't have a printer? You're not alone. Millions of people are asked to "print and mail this PDF," but don't have a printer or stamps. Online mail services can do the printing, addressing, and mailing for you. Our print and mail documents service handles everything end-to-end.

Mailing a PDF Has Never Been Easier

Instead of finding a printer or visiting a store, you can upload your PDF to an online service that prints and mails it for you. Try our online mailing service to get started.

If your PDF needs a properly addressed envelope, see our envelope addressing guide.

Example of uploading a document to an online mail service

How It Works

  1. Upload your PDF – Go to the provider’s upload page and select your file.
  2. Enter addresses – Add the recipient’s mailing address and your return address.
  3. Printing & mailing – The provider prints, addresses, and mails it via USPS.

Before you upload:

  • Use Letter (8.5″×11″) page size when possible; unusual sizes may be auto-scaled.
  • Confirm if the recipient requires a wet-ink signature; if so, sign and re-scan before uploading.
  • Include complete addressing (apt/suite, company/department, ZIP+4 if available).
  • First-Class Mail is common by default; tracking typically requires a trackable USPS option.
  • Avoid uploading sensitive data unless the provider discloses clear security practices.

Why This Can Be Easier Than Doing It Yourself

  • ✅ No printer, ink, or paper needed
  • ✅ Works from any device (phone, tablet, or laptop)
  • ✅ No trip to the Post Office
  • ✅ Tracking available when you choose a trackable USPS service
