Exactly the form that I required. Repeated editing was necessary for approval of recipient and permitted by PDF filler. Direct email was most helpful to pre-empt time delays. Anticipate emailing for initials & signature - hope it works out.

I just needed to do one form, so I chose the one-month subscription. It worked great, but it was not clear when I purchased that ONE month, that I would be setup on further automatic monthly payments, otherwise I would have opted out of that. Now I'm considering filing a formal complaint, unless my $20 renewal fee is credited back to my account ASAP!

I was desperately trying to edit a pdf copy of the P&S and we could not convert it to a Word document. Finding your website where I could make edits to the form, made my life a whole lot easier. However, I work for a law firm and we normally do not have to do these types of documents. So I am afraid I will have to cancel once the document is finalized. At least, I will keep your website as a place to go to if there is a future need. Could you please cancel my membership after the 30 days I already paid? Thank you.

Good service and glad that it is available to use. A lot better than printing out forms and filling them out by hand. I highly recommend PDFfiller.

What do you like best?
PDF Filler was a Game changer for me! All my files are saved as a PDF now, I can sign documents and send back via fax or email to customers. Its also very handy with my touch screen laptop. I use a stylist pen and clients can sign just 1 time and I can use it over the course of all their documents. Clients can come in and sign without dealing with paper and copying. All I need is 1 signature and that's it!!! My whole team loves it, and I have had other Agents ask me what I use, so I have referred several of my friends to PDF FILLER.
What do you dislike?
Wish they had more fonts and color texts. Also it would be great if we could capture a signature and send it in to use. Perhaps a bigger data base for signatures as well, and more documents to be saved. Overall this program is very useful in my line of business. I use it multiple times a day, even on the weekends when necessary.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Easy to use and saves time and money
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
So much less paperwork! Saves time, money, paper and ink. 90% of my documents are saved on my computer. So no more bulky filing cabinets and paper records. Less $ on ink, and paper which is very expensive. Its actually safer to save to a hard drive anyway. Very pleased with everything PDF Filler has to offer my business.

An easy and effective tool for PDF files in daily office work. It's an amazing alternative of Adobe's pro version and I don't need any file to install on my system. I can do my work through this application on my web browser itself. It is very easy to use. It helps to add notes to your PDF files easily. It also has the feature of importing files from a URL. After editing your pdf file you can directly send it to your email id. Its inefficiency of uploading multiple files in one operation. Sometimes it become slow when uploading slightly large file irrespective of internet speed.

I usually do not leave reviews but this tool is sensational Ease of use, the functionality is greatly appreciated. Gliding through forms is of ease. Moving from box to box is a cinch The save feature to my computer can be a little friendlier. It can take several try to find the forms after I save them

Instructions and Help about How to Type On A Form Online

pdfFiller makes it easy to create and fill out or modify various types of documents while preserving their original layout. This is made possible with the help of pdfFiller’s advanced “Fillable Fields” feature. To place the necessary data into the document, open it in the editor, and press “Add Fillable Fields”. You can locate specially designated areas where the certain types of data must be entered including text, date, signature, number, image and checkbox. To add a Text field, click the Text icon, then click the document to place the field.
Screen
You can move the field around by clicking and dragging it, resize it by dragging the dots around the edges, and delete a field by clicking the trash can. All field types can be moved, resized or deleted this way.
Screen
To add more fields, simply click the icon again and repeat. To customize a field, select it, then click “Text Settings” to expand options. Field name is an easy way for you to identify the field. However, only you will see this text. The default text will appear in the field when others fill the form. It can be replaced by those completing the form unless you lock the field.
Screen
You can add hints or instructions to each field, and they will appear whenever you hold your mouse over or select that field when filling the document. Max characters and lines allow you to limit how much information can be put into any text field. Any text field can be marked as “Required” and a warning will appear to anyone filling the form if they attempt to submit it to you with an empty required field. If any of your new fields contain non-default text, you have the option to clear them or continue with text in these fields. You can rearrange the order in which users navigate the fields by clicking the Order tab and dragging the fields into the desired order. The form can be navigated when being filled by clicking the arrows above each field or pressing Tab.
Screen
When you’re done adding fillable fields, click Save at the top of the page, and you can then fill or share the document.
