A Form Filler

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.
