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.
