Filling out a PDF form on Mac

I have a form from a college, it’s in English and I live in Turkey, which means I don’t really have anyone around who knows much English. To fill out the form, I would normally need to scan it and a sighted person would write my response, but I just discovered the form-filling feature in Mac Preview. Does it work properly? I’ve noticed it labels some items correctly, but others aren’t as clear.

Is there a better way to fill out PDF forms on a Mac? Maybe an app? Or should I just give Preview a try—what do you recommend? Also, just out of curiosity, how would you fill out forms without scanning them on Windows? I’ve only used Google Chrome, Edge, or Bookworm to read and kind of interact with PDFs.

Thanks in advance!
