Adobe FormsCentral alternatives for filling PDF forms

Adobe retired FormsCentral in 2015. People still search for it when they need a working replacement, so here is what to use now.

If you have old FormsCentral forms or habits, these options cover the same jobs: fill a PDF, or collect responses from a web form.

Five options, ranked honestly

  1. Option 1Our pick for filling

    FillWizard

    Plans from $49/month. See the pricing page for current terms.

    Fills existing PDF forms from saved profiles. FillWizard does not build new web forms or collect submissions, so pair it with a form builder if you need that.

    Best for: Filling PDF forms you already have, especially the same details across many of them.

  2. Option 2

    Adobe Acrobat

    See adobe.com for current plans.

    Adobe's own answer for fillable PDFs after FormsCentral. Good for editing and filling forms on your own machine. It does not collect web responses.

    Best for: Fillable PDFs you edit yourself, one at a time.

  3. Option 3

    Jotform

    Free tier available. See jotform.com for paid plans.

    Web form builder that collects responses and generates PDFs at the end. Jotform publishes an import route for moving FormsCentral forms across.

    Best for: Teams that need a web form to collect submissions.

  4. Option 4

    Formstack

    See formstack.com for current plans.

    Form builder with document generation and approval workflows. It was one of the replacements Adobe pointed users to after FormsCentral closed.

    Best for: Organizations that need approval steps and document generation around forms.
