How do I save and reuse forms I’ve already filled out?

One of the key benefits of pdfFiller is the ability to save completed forms as templates. After you complete a form, you can save it as a template in your account. This is especially useful for forms you need to fill out regularly, like invoices, service agreements, or work orders.

When you save a document as a template, all the standard information you entered—such as your name, address, and company logo—remains. The next time you need to create a similar document, simply open the template, fill in the new, specific details (such as a client’s name or an invoice number), and it’s ready to go. This eliminates repetitive data entry and ensures consistency across all your documents.

Can I create my own custom forms?

Absolutely. If you can’t find the exact form you need in the library or have a unique requirement, you can generate a custom form from scratch. Using pdfFiller’s editor, you can start with a blank page and add text, images, and logos. The real power comes from adding fillable fields.

Here’s how it works:

1. Log in to your pdfFiller account.
2. Click Add new > Create blank. Select and customize page preset, orientation, color, and number of pages required, and click Create.
3. Use the tools from the top toolbar to create document sections, add text boxes, upload images, and create tables.
4. Switch to the Add fields tab to adjust your form with customizable fillable fields. Drag and drop fields for Text, Signature, Initials, Email, Checkbox, Dropdown, and even Formula.
5. Add field names, informational hints, and validation type, then set them as required, read-only, or conditional.
6. Review your custom form and click Done to save it in your account.

Once you create your custom form, you can share it with employees, customers, or partners to collect information efficiently.
