Pdf form filler software?

Post by mhkhan » Fri May 30, 2014 5:49 pm

Hi,

Does anyone know of a free website or a software where I could fill up my application and also can save or print? PDFfiller website is not free hence asking someone who knows one better.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks. Tried adobe but the forms came out blank when printed. Decided to fill it up with pen.

Manually filling the form with black pen is more wise because software can disturb the form format which may lead to refusal or invalidity of application.

Manually filling the form using black pen in block capitals is always best practise.

However, I have used Adobe Acrobat pro (paid version) which has the ability to fill in PDF forms and used this for the Spouse Visa form 2 years ago without an issue.

Main reason being its easier to read than a hand writing, looks more professional and I have a digital copy of the form I can always refer back to if needed.

The best software to fill PDF is Preview in OSX. Adobe Acrobat is not as good as Preview. Use that if you got apple laptop.

Hey thanks. I didn't know Preview could edit pdfs too. Have been using it only to view documents.
