Since this is my first time and I have never used one of these before, I am still learning. But so far am happy with it. I just wish it was easier to actually contact a human being to ask questions when I am not sure about something and so have to search and keep trying to find what I want.

Simple tool that increases productivity in office I'm a software engineer and have to deal with many documents everyday. Having a simple tool that has all the features needed for me to edit and handle all my documents makes my life easier. At the same time it saves me time to look up new tools and ways everyday. The UI is simple and intuitive, and it's easy to attach files, download and share it as needed. Overall it makes me more productive in office. My favourite feature is the electronic/digital signature feature. As a person in the IT department, I have to work with numerous documents and sign many of them. And this tool made that really easy for me. Also, the signature looks blended out and not out of place. Other than that the merging tool and conversion tool are also very helpful. Depending on my needs, sometimes I can convert a ppt into a pdf for easy access or for sending it to anyone. I also get to attach different pdfs together in whatever order needed. I don't have any major concerns. The only small problem I've had is regarding character recognition from scanned pdfs. Sometimes it is not entirely accurate. Though it is manageable for me.

Makes Working Easier! My experience has been wonderful. I cannot complain one bit. Who doesn't like to be able to edit or create PDF forms! I handle tons of PDF and word document forms all day and this software is most definitely helpful in completing my tasks. Are you kidding?! There are not cons at all. PDF filler literally keeps me from having to print documents to fill them.

What do you like best? It is much easier to use than Adobe Acrobat. Much more intuitive functions and file management. It has saved me a ton of time with the cloud storage of documents. I have used effectively for construction related documents. What do you dislike? Very rarely I have needed to use another platform because some municipalities require it but 98% of what I need to do is supported. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? Remote completion of forms and extracting text from PDF documents mostly.

What do you like best? I like that all certificates on Insurance are in the same place, easy to find and I like the ability to duplicate certs What do you dislike? Can't find new documents very easily on the program What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? It a one stop for get our certificates out to our insured, I like that we can now email and fax from the site

I didn't realize how much use I would… I didn't realize how much use I would make of this program, or the range of functions that it offers. I just got the free-version at first because I needed a digital signature. But now, as an academic, I find I use it all the time to share and to sign documents: now that everything is online and we have limited contact, this has become more important. I can't say that I've mastered or even noticed all the file features this program offers, but almost every time I use it I discover something new. Well worth the money!

Great to use Great to use, but wish the font/size/color of text would always remain as the original was during editing existing text, or at least show what that information is to the user.

Instructions and Help about Make Fillable PDF Forms Online For Free

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you needed to fill a PDF form, but it was not fillable, or you could not do it because you did not have the right software? In the past, you probably had to print the form, fill it out by hand, sign and date it. Then, you would either scan it or send a hard copy to wherever it needed to go. Besides needing a printer and a scanner, the whole process was just too time-consuming. Now, with pdfFiller, you can make fillable PDF forms online without downloading or installing any software. To get started, upload a PDF form to your account and open it in the editor. Any PDF document is instantly editable in pdfFiller. You can create checkboxes, drop-down lists and fillable fields for text, numbers, signatures, initials, dates and photos. The procedure for adding fields is the same for all field types. Open the Add Fillable Fields tab on the right.
Screen
Select the field you need, for instance the Text field, then drag and drop it where it should be in the document. Resize the field by dragging its corners or edges. Use the text formatting tools to preset the field’s text format including the font, size, color and alignment of text. It will be impossible to change the text format while filling the field.
Screen
To see what the field will look like, press the Preview button and type something inside the field.
Screen
To delete a fillable field, click on the trash can icon above it. To add a checkbox, click its icon, then drag and drop it where you want to place it.
Screen
When you resize a checkbox, the next one will be of the same size. You can customize any fillable field. Click Advanced in the right pane and select the options you need. For instance, you can format the checkbox to be filled with a simple checkmark, “X”, or circle.
Screen
The Database Field Name is a very useful feature if you create a form with the purpose of gathering information from other people. It makes it easier to export data from the completed forms to a spreadsheet for further processing. As soon as you’ve added fillable fields, you can fill the form yourself or send it to others with a request to complete it.
