About fillable PDF’s

Create a fillable PDF document template, distribute it to employees in bulk using documents, and request e-signatures.

What is a fillable PDF?

A fillable PDF is a type of PDF document that includes text fields, checkboxes, or radio buttons that can be filled in by users using a PDF viewer. In order for a PDF to have these fillable features, it must be built using specifics software that allows you to create a pdf with fillable fields.

👩‍🏫 Examples of fillable PDFs are Modelo 145 in Spain or Form W-4 in the USA, which are document templates provided by the Government that companies need to share with the employees to collect personal information to comply with taxes obligations.

 

❗ Fillable PDFs are only available for Enterprise plans.

 

What is an Official Document template?

An Official Document Template (ODTs) is a document template provided by Factorial that users can’t delete. The ODTs are intended for official document templates such as Modelo 145 (Spain) or Form W-4 (USA).

❗ For now, you can only have official document templates for Spain (Modelo 145) and US Form W-4), but soon we’ll increase the list of ODTs for another country.
