Lock Text Form: edit PDFs from anywhere

The PDF is a common document format for a variety of reasons. They are accessible on any device, so you can share files between devices with different screens and settings. It'll open the same no matter you open it on a Mac computer or an Android device.

Security is another reason why do we rather use PDF files to store and share private information and documents. In case you're using an online solution to store documents, one can possibly track a view history to find out who had access to the file before.

pdfFiller is an online document creating and editing tool that lets you create, edit, sign, and send PDFs using one browser window. Convert MS Word file or a Google sheet and start editing its appearance and add some fillable fields to make a document singable. Work with the completed document yourself or share it with others in any convenient way — you'll get notified when a person opens and completes the form.

Use powerful editing features such as typing text, annotating, and highlighting. Once a document is completed, download it to your device or save it to the third-party integration cloud. Add images into your PDF and edit its layout. Collaborate with people to fill out the fields. Add fillable fields and send documents to sign. Change a document’s page order.

Get your documents completed in four simple steps:

01

Start with the pdfFiller uploader.

02

Click the Tools tab to use editing features such as text erasing, annotation, highlighting, etc.

03

Insert additional fields to fill in specific data and put an e-signature in the document.

04

When finished, click Done and proceed to downloading, sending or printing your document.

I really have needed a tool like this to turn a number of internal business documents into fillable forms. Do not want to have to buy a typewriter to do the tasks PDF filler can do so easily. Without any training I have been able to do the basic functions just fine. I would be interested in furthering my skills be learning how to do more sophisticated editing or creation.

PDF FIller was an answer to many questions. Our business is an industrial maintenance business. We have had to use PDF filler several times with applications and insurance documents. PDF filler made it easier. We liked how they explained everything we needed to know to fill in applications and other papers online without having to scan and download everything separately. I always thought it was my computer that was the problem, but with PDF filler, it doesn't matter what software is already on your laptop, you can work with any documents. Sometimes I would go duplicate a step in saving the document, but after a couple of documents, it was easy to figure out what I should do.
