PDF tools for freelancers
Invoices, quotes, freelance contracts, NDAs, W-9s, 1099-NEC tracking: generate, fill and sign in clicks. No Adobe Acrobat ($23/mo), no DocuSign Personal ($15/mo), no HoneyBook Starter ($19/mo). AES-256 encrypted, ESIGN/eIDAS compliant, free for solo.
Chasing clients to sign the contract
Send via magic link, client signs from phone — no account, no app install. Same workflow Bonsai charges $25/mo for. Audit trail saved automatically. Most signatures come back in under 24 hours.
Invoice PDF looks broken in client inbox
Word-exported PDFs lose formatting on macOS Preview vs Windows Adobe Reader. iFillPDF generates a native PDF: same pixel render on every device. Plus auto-numbering, VAT/sales-tax calculation, multi-currency (USD, GBP, EUR, CAD, AUD), Stripe Pay-now button embedded.
W-9 collection from US clients takes forever
US clients now request a W-9 once you cross $2,000/year (new 2026 IRS 1099-NEC threshold under OBBBA). Send a pre-filled W-9 via magic link, client signs in 30 seconds, you keep a PDF/A copy for your records.
Sending NDA before every discovery call
Reuse a template once, AI fills the prospect name, company, and date. Magic link sent in 30 seconds — discovery call stays on schedule. Mutual or one-way NDA toggle.

Frequently asked questions
Is iFillPDF really free for freelancers?+
Yes. The Free plan is free forever: invoice, quote and contract generators, AI fill, eSignature for up to 5 docs/month. Paid plans unlock unlimited documents, white-label PDF export and Pro sharing — significantly cheaper than Bonsai ($25/mo) or HoneyBook Starter ($19/mo) which charge for the same workflow.
How does iFillPDF compare to Bonsai, HoneyBook and FreshBooks?+
Bonsai/HoneyBook bundle proposals + contracts + invoicing + light CRM ($19-29/mo). FreshBooks bundles invoicing + accounting but lacks proposal builder, contract templates and e-signature. iFillPDF focuses on the document layer (PDF fill, contract gen, eSign) at free/$9-mo — pair it with FreshBooks for the books, or use it standalone if you only need PDFs.
Can I use iFillPDF for international clients?+
Yes. Multi-currency invoices (USD, EUR, GBP, CAD, AUD…), multi-language templates, ESIGN (US) and eIDAS (EU) signatures supported simultaneously. UK VAT (20%), EU reverse-charge B2B, US sales tax all configurable per invoice.
Does it integrate with Stripe / PayPal for payment?+
Yes. Generated invoices include a "Pay now" button linked to Stripe Checkout (cards + Apple/Google Pay + ACH). Quotes can be auto-converted to invoices on signature. PayPal coming Q2 2026, Wise/Revolut links available now via the URL field.
What about the new 2026 1099-NEC $2,000 threshold for US freelancers?+
Under OBBBA (signed July 2025), US clients must issue a 1099-NEC once they pay you $2,000+/year (up from $600). iFillPDF flags every US client crossing the threshold from your invoice history, sends them a pre-filled W-9 in one click, and stores their 1099-NEC PDFs for your tax records.
