So far it works great! There's a bit of a learning curve, but I was able to chat with a support rep even though it was late at night. He helped explain how I could achieve my goals for our Robotics team engineering notebook forms.

i like how the team at PDFfiller make things happen. The recipient box is useful and suddenly the email is ready to be sent to a certain school. Also how you helped me to create a cover letter relating to the Teacher for Science vacancy Very professional. Thank you Brent Walton 2 June 2019
2019-06-02
I wish there was a way to access a blank 2019 W-2 form. The first form came up as 2019, but the only way I found to create 2019 for the other employees was to duplicate that first one and modify for the additional person. If not for that quirk, I would have given 5 stars.

An Ultimate Timesaving Software
I have never been bored using this software except for motivating me to give my maximum to the company. Once I am done with my PDF file, I just need to click one icon to send it to the respective recipient or recipients. Comprehensive icons on the right and left sidebars(panes) give a visually soothing experience and increase the efficiency of the work. Last but not least the privacy of the documents is guaranteed as the files can be password protected through this app. Indeed, the above-aforementioned aspects are only a few but there are plentiful advantageous features are available in this software, hence I highly recommend this software to use in your company or even personally.
One of the most important features I personally like is the ''AUDIT TRAIL". This great aspect helps me to identify each and every change made to the initial report and it gives a comprehensive picture of the amendments executed to the initial report, hence the authenticity of the reports is enhanced. Another great benefit to almost all the users is the ''E-signature". Having this electronically done made signature simply replaced conventional writing email address as the E-sign. Once the signatures are uploaded to this application, you can easily click and select the saved original sign in electronic format.
Sign-in through the mobile application is somewhat not effective. Our staff has experienced Android devices sending an error message and need to try a few times to access through a mobile device; thus the quality of this software is never sabotaged because the value we are generating from this application is abundant compared to this minor issue. We never experienced any difficulty in using this software on our computers.

For pdfFiller’s FAQs
Below is a list of the most common customer questions. If you can’t find an answer to your question, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.
What if I have more questions?
Contact Support
How do you show mandatory fields in form?
Provide the required text in the label.
Provide a graphic * image in the label with appropriate alt text.
Providing a star (asterisk) symbol.
Use of color to identify if a form control is required.
Providing HTML5 and ARIA required attributes.
What is Aria required?
The aria-required attribute is used to indicate that user input is required on an element before a form can be submitted. This attribute can be used with any typical HTML form element; it is not limited to elements that have an ARIA role assigned.
Is required in JavaScript?
Semicolons are required in JavaScript; they're just not required in YOUR JavaScript.
How do I bypass field validation?
If you are building your own form, you need to remove '#required' → TRUE, from field to bypass validation or assign FALSE value. Now you can do the same for existing form by alter the form using hook_alter_form and unset required attribute or assign FALSE value.

How do I insert a text form field in Word?
Position the insertion point where you want the field to appear.
Display the Developer tab of the ribbon.
In the Controls group click Legacy Tools and then click the Text Form Field tool.
Right-click the form field just entered and choose Properties from the resulting Context menu.
Why is there a GREY highlight on my Word document?
Click Advanced in the list of items on the left. Scroll down to the Show document content section and select an option from the Field shading drop-down list. Double-click the field or drag the mouse over it to select it. Then highlighting is added to the gray shading indicating the field is selected.
How do you create a fillable line in Word?
Firstly, click Underline under Home tab and choose one line style. Then press Shift+ Underscore to get a line. Then place cursor above the line and type the content. As you type, you will find the line gets longer and longer.
How do you convert a PDF to a fillable form?
Step 1: Load the PDF File. Open your pre-existing PDF form in PDF element, or you can choose to open an existing form template.
Step 2: Recognize Form Fields Automatically.
Step 3: Fill and Save the Form.
Why isn't my PDF fillable?
Make sure that the security settings allow form filling. (See File > Properties > Security.) Sometimes form creators forget to convert their PDFs to interactive forms, or they intentionally design a form you can only fill in by hand. If you can't type in the form fields, then the fields are probably not interactive.
