I created a fillable form using Docfly PDF editor. When I downloaded it, the download included the web address. What can I do about this please? I want to be able to send out the PDF as a workbook, but can't at present because of this problem. Thanks for your help.

    Hi KS,

    It sounds like you may have used the free version of DocFly to create and download your fillable PDF form. In the free tier, DocFly typically adds a web address or watermark to exported PDFs as part of their branding.

    To remove this, you’ll need to subscribe to one of their paid plans. Once upgraded, you should be able to download a clean version of your PDF without the web address perfect for sharing as a workbook.

    Alternatively, you might consider using another PDF editor like Adobe Acrobat or PDFescape, which may offer more flexibility without adding branding, depending on the version you use.

    Disclaimer: I’m not affiliated with DocFly or any of the tools mentioned. This advice is based on publicly available information and user experience. Please check the official websites for the most accurate and up-to-date details.

    Best,
    Jeric
