The greatest part about this site is being able to search for all of the various different forms you need. Turbo Tax wanted $159 just to fill out tax forms only needed once a year. Saving a ton on this site!!

free trial is great thanks but not sure how long i will need access for. I can cancel my subscription and thats great too but it means that i most likely wont pay the first subscription. Great for me but not for you. My point is, I would have been more than happy to pay maybe a "pay as you go" fee. Something like £2 to download for example, then maybe i would have to subscribe to use the other options available. just a though. thanks for a great site though :)

So easy to use and meets all my expectations Knowing that it's there when I need it. I only use it when I get a new tenant. It also saves my information so I don't have to enter it each time. I can find any form that I need. I own a small rental business and I am able to fill out my lease and Pd filler saves it and I can fill out the next with just changing the new lease's name and address.

A great Program Its a good program, but it takes a few minutes to get use to the actual text placement for your fill in. I did not try the signature feature. I will continue to use this program. I'll use it more often as I get use to it.

Locking a PDF can protect the integrity of a document. If you have made comments on a document, or approved a specific version of a document before exporting it as a PDF, locking the PDF from editing can prevent anyone from making changes afterwards.
Choose File > Open, and open the SBR_Logo. Choose File > Save As, name the file SBR_Logo1. Click the Secure task button (with the padlock icon), and choose Show Security Properties. From the Security Method menu, choose Password Security. Select your compatibility level from the Compatibility menu.
In Windows Explorer, navigate to the folder you want to password-protect. Right-click on the folder. Select Properties from the menu. On the dialog that appears, click the General tab. Click the Advanced button, then select Encrypt content to secure data. Double-click the folder to ensure you can access it.
