PDFSimpl
Free, community-driven PDF form filler - fast and easy
PDFSimpl is a browser-based PDF site for searching published templates, filling forms, remixing layouts, designing your own documents and exporting to PDF, JPG or PNG. Filling, editing and exporting PDFs does not require an account - with saves and publishing custom designs requiring a free account.
Hi Product Hunters - I'm Jake, the builder of PDFSimpl and Simpl Industries.
I built PDFSimpl because too many PDF tools either look free until you need to produce a second invoice, require a subscription or charge at the export step. So I thought – why not make it free and community based – like answers on Quora or designs on Thingiverse?
PDFSimpl is my attempt at creating a more direct workflow:
• browse published templates and example forms
• fill in or remix documents quickly within the browser
• build layouts with text, shapes, images, QR codes, barcodes and fillable fields
• export to PDF, JPG or PNG from any device with ease
• use the core browse, fill, edit and export features without an account
Local document work is designed to stay in the browser, such as filling out/using forms, whilst optional features such as persistent saves, publishing, bookmarks and community activity use secure cloud storage and are separated clearly.
PDFSimpl is the flagship tool in a launch of small (local) browser tools with the same goals, but today I would highly value feedback on PDFSimpl itself:
1. What PDF or document task did you expect it to handle immediately – did it?
2. Where did the editor or template flow become confusing?
3. Which browser, font, form or export didn’t function as expected?
4. Is the local-versus-cloud explanation obvious on the site – would you rather that?
Happy to answer any questions regarding the product, implementation or privacy model!
