FormEditor.com Offers Fully-Editable Forms Just in Time for Tax Season
ALLEN, TX—(Marketwire - April 7, 2011) - Docudesk Corporation, a leader in electronic document management, announced the release of FormEditor.com, an online service that offers consumers free access to fully-editable, electronic versions of more than 10,000 federal, state and local government documents and tax forms. The FormEditor repository includes the most popular federal tax forms as well as important but hard-to-find state and local forms and documents in an easy-to-navigate, searchable database.
FormEditor eliminates the need for printing and manually typing or completing forms. While some government forms can be edited or filled-in digitally with the proper software installed, all forms hosted on FormEditor.com can be completed and saved as PDF files using only a web browser.
“FormEditor was created using our existing online document editing platform with a focus on solving problems we experienced in dealing with government forms,” said Darren Matheny, CEO and founder of Docudesk said. “We couldn’t find any single place that provided digital versions of common forms that also allowed users to electronically complete the documents without charging a fee. We decided to make the tool ourselves.”
Built on the DocQ platform, Docudesk’s proven online HTML5 document management system, FormEditor is the easiest way to fill out forms online. FormEditor.com combines the ability to access important public forms and documents with simple, innovative form-editing functionality. Completing forms for submission and archiving is as simple as clicking and typing. FormEditor is entirely web-based so no software or plug-ins are installed on the user’s computer.
Users fill in forms using existing PDF form fields or FormEditor’s typewriter tool. Documents can also be electronically “signed” using the wet ink signature feature. Once completed, users can download a PDF of the form for printing, archiving or forwarding to tax preparers, accountants or attorneys. Personal information and a copy of the document are transferred over banking-grade 256 bit SSL encryption and never stored on remote servers, only saved as a secure PDF on users’ computers. User privacy and security are always protected and the process is quick, convenient and totally free.
“What makes FormEditor so different from other products is that it is truly free,” Matheny said. “We do not charge any hidden fees. There are no watermarks on the finished document and we never require users to register to complete their forms. We want to make the process easier, not more difficult.”
“We also offer a more complete commercial version of the FormEditor technology for businesses and governments,” Matheny said. “The commercial product allows for multi-party form transactions, secure digital signatures and cloud- or local-based document hosting and archiving.”
Consumers can access and fill out forms immediately at http://formeditor.com. 2010 federal, state and local tax forms, including US 1040 Forms, are already available.
“We have the most important federal, state and local tax forms already loaded,” said Matheny. “We currently have over ten thousand forms tagged and entered in our database with more being added each day.”

DocQ is a powerful platform packed with features and functionality. One common use case is utilizing DocQ to create fillable forms, and publish the forms for recipients to fill out.
Based on feedback from our users we developed a new solution - built upon the DocQ platform, but tailored specifically for working with forms. Soon we will be formally introducing the absolute easiest way to both fill out & distribute pdf forms!
To see how easy it will be to fill out forms, you can click here to see an example form. This form happens to be a survey - feel free and pass on any feedback, comments or questions about DocQ. When you are done, click save to submit the form back to us, or download to keep a local PDF copy of the form.
Do you want to create forms like this and get responses from your users? Click here to get instructions on how you can get started immediately with a sneak preview of our new technology.

One of the biggest benefits to the DocQ platform is that it makes it easy to get multiple signatures on a single document - saving your money, paper, & time!
This process can get expensive if you normally have to physically print the documents and use snail mail or overnight couriers to deliver to your recipients.
This can also be a very arduous task if you are using a fax machine to transfer the contract between parties. The DocQ methodology is painless & paperless. There is no limit to the number of signatures you can have on a single document in DocQ, but for this use case we will see how how to get three people to sign one contract:
The other week we had mentioned a new killer feature that we were putting in the iPhone and today I wanted to share it with you - iPhone scanning. While we definitely realize the iPhone does not have a scanner built in, it can act as one with the camera!
While more and more of you are doing away with your fax machine and scanner, it can become a headache to fill a paper form and have to send mail it. Now with the DocQ iPhone app you can quickly “scan” your paper document by taking a picture of it. To add multiple pages simply take pictures of each page of the document.
The DocQ app provides positioning guides to help align your document for taking the best picture and also collates multiple pictures automatically. When you are done you can send to DocQ and have a PDF made of your new document or you can fill and enter the necessary text directly on your iPhone!
We’ve been getting surprisingly great document scans using an iPhone 3GS. If you are fortunate enough to own an iPhone 4g, its 5 megapixel resolution with the built-in flash will make iPhone scanning incredible.
We’ve slowly been working on a revised iPhone app. We’ve already shared a few sneak peaks, but wanted to let you know we are adding a new killer feature that has taken a bit to get just right.
I’ll share more soon.
The DocQ OnRamp is a powerful way to integrate DocQ directly with your desktop.
With the OnRamp you can:
To launch the OnRamp, click on the DocQ icon on your desktop. To quickly open the DocQ application click “Launch DocQ”:
I just realized that if you were looking for highlighting PDF tools that it might be worth mentioning that we will soon be submitting version 2.0 of our iPhone app. Among the many new features will be highlighting directly from the iPhone! Should be great if you are away from your desk needing to highlight (and if you own an iPhone).
Using the iPhone highlighting (and other iPhone tools) will work similar to DocQ.com. Pick the tool you want, place it, then make the needed updates.
We will be releasing this tool to Apple next week. We’ve been getting approved quickly so look for it around the 1st week of April.
Highlighting PDFs has been a top requested feature for some time and while we have had it available many of you have missed it. Here is a quick post showing the highlighter tool selected on the left toolbar with a few highlights.
One of the cool things the DocQ highlighter does is it allows you to highlight images and “non-text” elements. Even Adobe Acrobat doesn’t let you do this! So if you have an important image that you want to highlight, DocQ can highlight it too.
Here is the downloaded PDF with the saved highlights in Adobe Reader.
Using DocQ anyone can electronically publish a document in just a few mouse clicks!
This is especially useful for:
