Introduction

Like many people, I spend a lot of time filling out onlinernforms. And the forms are never ending. There are forms for online shopping,rntravel reservations, liability releases, and way too many other things to listrnthem all. Fortunately, help is available. A number of applications are availablernthat can speed up the process of filling out online forms.

Note: This gallery is also available as an article.

RoboFormrnis probably best known as a password manager. rnHowever, it can also help with filling in online forms in many of thernmore popular browsers. RoboForm canrnstore your form data on your own PC or in the cloud.

Once installed, RoboForm is accessible as a browser toolbar.rnThe initial configuration process requires you to enter a master password,rnwhich is used to protect your form data. RoboForm provides a mind-bogglingrnnumber of fields you can populate, ranging from basic contact information torncredit card and bank account numbers. It’s up to you how much or how littlerninformation you decide to store in RoboForm.

RoboForm sells for $9.95, but a free trial is available forrndownload.

Form Auto Fill is another application for managing logins and filling in Webrnforms. But unlike RoboForm, Form Auto Fill installs as a standard Windowsrnapplication rather than as a browser extension.

A Form Filler is a free tool for filling out Web forms. What makes this toolrndifferent from the others is the way that it works. It scans web pages forrnpredefined text and then populates the corresponding field per yourrninstructions. For instance, you might instruct it to automatically type yourrnname any time a Web page contains a Name field. The resulting action will occurrnautomatically almost as soon as the page appears onscreen.

Blueberry PDF Form Filler 2

Blueberry PDF Form Filler 2 makes a non-editable PDF filerneditable. The software lets you create fields where there were none before. Inrnsome cases, the software can even automatically detect the places in whichrnfields should be created. You aren’t just limited to creating text fieldsrneither. You can also create check boxes, combo boxes, or just about anythingrnelse that you need. So far I have only used this program a few times, but itrnseems to work exceptionally well.

Note: If you decide to check this tool out, be sure torndownload version 2 or higher. The first version still exists on some of thernInternet download sites and has some bugs that limit its usefulness. These bugsrnseem to have been fixed in Version 2.
