FillPDFfromExcel is a web-based tool that automatically fills PDF forms with data from Excel, CSV, or Google Sheets, eliminating manual data entry. It accepts a fillable PDF template and a spreadsheet, then generates individual completed PDFs for each row in batch.
What is FillPDFfromExcel?
FillPDFfromExcel is a free (with optional Pro upgrade) online service that takes a fillable PDF form and a data file (Excel .xlsx/.xls, CSV, or Google Sheets export) and produces filled PDFs—one per row—by intelligently matching spreadsheet column headers to PDF form fields. It runs entirely in the browser, requiring no downloads or installations, and is built by the same team behind createfillablepdfs.com.
Key Features

- Batch Processing — Processes hundreds of rows in a single run, each row producing a separate filled PDF, ideal for high-volume workflows.
- Multiple Input Formats — Supports Excel (.xlsx, .xls), CSV, and Google Sheets exports as data sources; PDF template must have fillable form fields.

FAQ
Is FillPDFfromExcel free?
Yes, the basic service is free to use but adds a watermark to output PDFs. A Pro upgrade removes the watermark and removes usage limits.
What file formats are supported?
Data files: .xlsx, .xls, .csv, and Google Sheets exports. Template: PDF with fillable form fields only.
Can I fill PDFs that are not fillable?
No, the PDF must have fillable form fields. If yours is a static PDF, you can add fillable fields at createfillablepdfs.com, then return to batch-fill them.
How many rows can I process at once?
The tool handles hundreds of rows per batch; for very large spreadsheets, processing time may increase but still works reliably.
Is my data secure?
Uploaded files are processed in your browser session and are not stored as a core product feature, so your data remains private.
