Carson Valley Real Estate - Carson City Homes - Lake Tahoe Real Estate: How To Fill Out Any PDF Professionally - FREE!

How To Fill Out Any PDF Professionally - FREE!

Do your Asset Managers or Sellers - or even Lenders - ever send you PDF's you need to complete and you think your handwriting isn't the prettiest?

Do you need to complete a FORM and you want to make 100% it is legible for a short sale package, BPO valuation company, or some other professional you are serving? 

Look no further! It's FillAnyPDF.com to the rescue!

It's FAST!      It's EASY!     It's FREE!

 

First - Open your browser and visit FillAnyPDF.com.

Fill Any PDF

 

Right in the center of the screen, you'll see where you upload your file. When you click Choose File, a dialog box opens and you can select your file. Then click Upload. The next screen you see is this:

FillAny PDF - Next Screen

 

The next screen you see is your form ready for type entry. Just click your cursor where you want to type and begin typing. I uploaded our internal commission disbursement PDF and it looks like this:

FillAny PDF - Final Screen

 

When you're done typing in the form, click Download at the top of the screen. This will download the form with all your typing on the form, and will give you a revised PDF with all the content. 

FillAnyPDF.com has lots of neat features, including a highlight tool, a whiteout tool, a redaction tool, a freewrite tool, and you can change the size and color of the font you're typing with.

It's a very cool tool, and as we all are dealing with PDF's these days, it's nice to have a way to present your completed form in a professional way.

I just trired it out and it works great.  I had to look at it for a minute, before I understood how to work everything.  Very self-explanitory.

Posted by Jim Cheney Rincon Valley Real Estate (Saint Francis Property Santa Rosa, CA) almost 2 years ago

Jim - Glad to help you out! It really is super easy and makes your delivery of PDF documents so much more professional. I can see how I would use this every day!

Posted by Christianne Gordon, REALTOR® e-PRO CDPE SFR Carson Valley Real Estate Specialist (Carson Valley Homes and Land - RE/MAX Realty Affiliates) almost 2 years ago

Christianne this is a great tool.  I have been frustrated with this very thing in the past - no more of that. Thanks for passing it on!

Christianne - This is a fantastic tool!  Thanks for letting us know about it.

Very cool. Thank you for sharing. I've been using DocuSign to complete these as it has some of the same capabilties but this looks much more to the point.
Posted by Michael J. O'Connor, Eastvale, 951-847-4883 (Diamond Ridge Realty) almost 2 years ago

DocuSign does have the capability to fill out a form, but I only pay for 40 envelopes a month from DocuSign, and if I just have to fill out a form, it's not worth burning an envelope to do it. This is a great compromise...Enjoy everyone!

Posted by Christianne Gordon, REALTOR® e-PRO CDPE SFR Carson Valley Real Estate Specialist (Carson Valley Homes and Land - RE/MAX Realty Affiliates) almost 2 years ago

I didn't know you could fill out PDF forms in DocuSign.  Also, I use something called PDFill but for splitting and merging PDF files.  I will check this one out.  Thanks.

Posted by Jane Peters - Los Angeles Real Estate (310-473-6919) (Power Brokers Int'l) over 1 year ago

Thanks for sharing this tool with us.  I haven't heard of this before. I just saved it in my internet favorites and will definitely use the next time I need to complete a PDF form.

I actually upgraded my DocuSign from the 40 per month to an unlimited plan.  I'd rather just know that I can get it all done and that I don't have to worry about purchasing xxx more at a bad time. 

Posted by Michael J. O'Connor, Eastvale, 951-847-4883 (Diamond Ridge Realty) over 1 year ago

yes its a very cool tool and one I'm moving to when the timing is right, Just wish people cutting my piece of the pie.

Joseph - That's exactly why I have my team using it in my office - some people's handwriting is simply illegible! And that's OK with this fabulous tool! Hope you enjoy it!

Christianne -- I use this quite frequently as I don't like handwriting documents but DO like all my documents to be neat and professional.  I had blogged about this a while back because it is a super tool. I am glad you brought it back to attention as it is very easy to use and the price is great!

A PDF editor is an essential tool in our business. I use mine every day and couldn't live without it. I use PDFill.com I think I paid a one time fee of $20. Best money I've spent in along time.

Posted by Virginia O'Connor - Temecula, Anza, SoCal Realtor (Realtor®, Photographer, Artist) over 1 year ago

I just had a thought - this would be awesome for buyers to fill out the forms that come to them via MLS as pdf docs. They'd still need to print them to sign, unless yu have DocuSign or something similar. Still - might be very handy!

Posted by Virginia O'Connor - Temecula, Anza, SoCal Realtor (Realtor®, Photographer, Artist) over 1 year ago

I'm going to check this out AND PDFill. I do have horrible handwriting!

Great tip.  With so many documents in pdf format, an editing tool is very important.

Posted by Rodney Mason - FHA 203K/ USDA /VA / HomePath Renovation Specialist - GA / AL (Prospect Mortgage, Atlanta, GA) over 1 year ago

Years ago, when I was enthusiastically promoting and using pdf in order to prevent my docs from being edited, a coworker told me I was wasting my time; that pdf would never be a universally accepted protocol...let's just say I disagreed. This program makes it available to anyone who cares about how their work is presented. Thanks for filling a hole many didn't know how to fill!

Posted by SarahGray Lamm~REALTOR~ 60K Hours of NC Real Estate Experience~ (Allen Tate Realtors Chapel Hill, NC 919-819-8199 ) over 1 year ago

Thank you for sharing!!  I am going to start using it as I prefer to type out as my handwriting looks like a Dr's prescription.  Over the years my handwriting is so bad, people will ask me if I am a doctor.  No I just write like one.

Posted by Melanie Ross Benicia CA & Vallejo CA Real Estate, 707-319-2828 (Coldwell Banker Solano Pacific) over 1 year ago

Great post. Thanks so much because the other pdf programs I've used just didn't get the job done.  I'll try this the first chance I get. Thanks again.

Posted by Stacey Johnson-Cosby Serving Kansas City, Missouri Metro area (Reece & Nichols Realtors-Kansas City) over 1 year ago

Christianne, I will surely check out this site. Sounds like a quick way to fill out a form. Thanks for the link.

Posted by Michael Setunsky (Michael's Commercial LLC) over 1 year ago

Thanks for sharing this resource. However, according to the FAQ on the site it isn't exactly free as they charge about $20.00 per month for a subscription which seems to be on par with the other document e-signing services available.

I use PaperPort Pro ($200.00) for document management along with TrueForms for my real estate transaction forms. Combined with a Tablet PC I have controll over my transaction forms and upon conclusion of the sale can export all info about the sale to a thumb drive or burn to a CD for retrievable storage. However, for an occasional use FillAnyPDF could be helpful. Another handy application from Nuance Software is OmniForm 5 which allows one to create editable documents from any scanned form.

Posted by Green Mountain Real Estate over 1 year ago

Christianne Thank you, I do not want to pay an exorbitant fee to purchase the PDF pro version and this is a great alternative!

Posted by Russell Lewis, Broker,CLHMS,GRI (Realty Austin, Austin Texas Real Estate) over 1 year ago

Thank you for sharing, I like this. And the price is right!!

Posted by Richard Bazinet PLLC, MBA, CRS, ABR (Realty ONE Group in Scottsdale, AZ) over 1 year ago

Since it looks like it has electronic signing capability, why would you continue paying for Docusign?
