Look no further than pdfFiller!
As a person 70+ years old, new programs are usually a challenge for me. However this was not the case with pdfFiller, it was so easy to click on the area and type and being able to alter the text size to fit was a bonus. I highly recommend this program and can vouch for customer support who are there to help.

Kara was great with answering my…
Kara was great with answering my question and went above and beyond and took my document into her own hands and helped me with it instead of me trying to figure things out. I really appreciated that!

VERY EASY TO USE PLUS ONE SUGGESTION
VERY EASY TO USE. THE ONLY THING I THINK NEEDS TO CHANGE IS THAT WHEN I SAVE THE DOCUMENT, INSTEAD OF SAYING IRS FORM 940 (OR SOMETHING CLOSE TO THAT) I THINK THE YEAR OF THE FORM THAT WAS WORKED ON. FOR EXAMPLE: IRS FORM 940 2019

Basically does what I need
Basically does what I need. Could use better Help function. Example: I haven't figured out how to control the type font used nor how to match existing fonts in a document.

I had to fill out a form
I had to fill out a form, sign it electronically and e-mail it. At first, the form came up as a print copy. I was unable to fill it in online. Thanks to pdfFiller.com I was able to accomplish what I had to.

I only needed it for one purpose, to make my client's insurance claim sheets a fillable form so I wouldn't have to freehand it. After the initial struggle to get it structured right it works wonderfully

How do I delete thousands of rows in Excel?
To do so, hold down your Ctrl key and the press the — (minus) key on your keyboard. Excel displays the Delete dialog. Select the Entire Row option, as shown, and then choose OK. After you do so, Excel deletes the empty rows.
Why is my Excel file so large?
Excel has a used range for every sheet in your workbook. The larger this is, the bigger the file size becomes. Especially in older files, even if cells are blank and have no formatting, Excel may be treating them inside the used range, leading to a larger file size for no reason.
Why is my Excel file so large with little data?
It happens many times that we import data in Excel file for temporary use but forget to remove it. This increases the size of the Excel file. To reduce the size of Excel file identify the data that you don't really need. Delete those ranges and save the file.
How do I clear a large Excel file?
#1 Get Rid of Extra Spaces.
#2 Select and Treat All Blank Cells.
#3 Convert Numbers Stored as Text into Numbers.
#4 Remove Duplicates.
#5 Highlight Errors.
#6 Change Text to Lower/Upper/Proper Case.
#7 Parse Data Using Text to Column.
#8 Spell Check.
How can I reduce my Excel file size?
Remove Unnecessary Worksheets/Data.
Convert to Binary Format (XLSB) What is XLSB?
Remove Unnecessary Formulas.
Compress Images (Before and After Uploading)
Remove Pivot Cache to Save Space. Keep the Source Data and Delete Pivot Cache.
Compress the File (ZIP IT)
Remove Data formatting.
Remove Conditional formatting.
Why is my Excel file so large and slow?
The biggest reason for slow Excel files are formulas that take too long to calculate. So the first tip you can use is to 'press pause' on any calculations! This stops formulas being recalculated after every edit you make. When it's set to Manual, formulas won't re-calculate unless you edit an individual cell directly.
