Adobe Fillable License: Fill & Download for Free

You can get Annual Prepaid Subscription which is closest to what you are asking. And it is probably unlikely you will be stuck in place with lousy internet for a full year.Alternatively, you can get full license of Acrobat Pro 2017 for $449 plus tax. That is price for perpetual license I think.Adobe products: desktop, web, and mobile applications

You’re asking about employees and a shared location to locate a file, therefore we can assume one of the following:Your company has a local area network (LAN) with a file server and all company employees have access to that shared location, orYour company is utilizing a cloud service such as Google Suite and has a Shared Folder where all employees can access files in that locationBut here’s where you lose me a little. You have a fillable PDF that you want employees to view and edit? The viewing part I understand. I would even understand wanting to fill out the form (or check some boxes), but I don’t understand why you want your employees to edit the PDF.If a PDF is fillable, that means it should be easy to fill in text boxes and check boxes. We don’t consider that activity to be editing. If you are ok with that, good. Not that you couldn’t come up with an editing solution, but it makes the choices much more difficult and you’d have to buy a software license for every person in the company, which could get expensive. For filling forms, they can use free software. It’s also cumbersome to have many people accessing and editing a single PDF.If all you need to do is fill forms, I recommend Adobe Acrobat. You didn’t say which operating system your company is using so it is hard to say, but I’m going to assume you are either doing the LAN scenario I mentioned or Google Suite.LAN ScenarioIt’s expected that accessing files on a file server is no different than accessing files on your local hard drive. This means you need to use installable application software. It also means people will need to take turns with opening and filling in the PDF. They will have to fill everything in and annotate as required, then save the PDF and close it so the next person can do it.There are many PDF viewer/annotator programs to choose from, but I would recommend Adobe Acrobat Reader DC. But you already made a fillable PDF didn’t you? So you already have a PDF program that you paid for. Perhaps the free version of that same program will work for you.Google Suite Drive ScenarioThe PDF is in a Shared Folder in this case and you have granted ‘Editor’ access to all employees. You have installed Adobe Acrobat for Google Drive, and now your employees can open the PDF and fill in the form and save the file. As of the time of this writing, Acrobat for Google Drive does not support true concurrent editing, but it will try to help a little. When someone makes a change to a file and saves it, another person trying to make a change will not see the new changes and will have to refresh their screen before applying more changes. Acrobat will prompt the user like this:Which indicates to the user they should ‘Discard my changes’, refresh their browser, and try again.This is not optimal behavior but I am not aware of any PDF web app that will support concurrent editing/form filling. If I find out or if someone in the comments says something about this, I will come back and edit this answer.I hope this helps.
