I rent out a flat and need a simple PDF rent receipt I can fill in after each monthly payment. Has anyone got a decent template that prints cleanly? ---

Honestly, I agree it is annoying when a receipt means hunting for a template. To be fair, you can use Word or Excel, which most people have, and make a table with the date, amount, and signature line. Save a blank copy as a PDF, then each month open the original file, enter the details, and print or save a fresh PDF. It prints cleanly without a dedicated PDF tool. ---

Do you want to type the details in on your laptop, or print blank copies and write by hand? If typing, I’d make one reciept in Word, then save a copy as PDF each month. For a proper fillable PDF, LibreOffice lets you add form fields and export it free. Prints clean either way. ---

I’d use a simple one-page Word rent receipt with fields for tenant, date, amount and payment method, then save a fresh PDF copy each month. Keep the table plain with solid borders, and avoid fancy shaded templates as they often print badly or shift when filled in. ---

I would make a simple 1-page receipt in Word with fields for tenant, property, amount, payment date, period covered, method, and signature, then save it as a PDF. Use a borderless table to keep everything aligned, and avoid text boxes because they often shift when printing. ---

@guitar_mouse has a great idea because I use borderless tables for event schudeles all the time. Just make sure your page margins are set right before printing so it looks nice and professional. Are you using a Mac or PC for this? ---

@Cameron2002 LibreOffice is what I use too. Add the form fields before saving, keep a blank master, and do a test print first, because some fonts look fine on screen then swap or drop out on paper. Worth keeping a backup of that blank file. Saves you redoing the receipt every month. ---

I usually make a one-page receipt with tenant name, property, month paid, amount, payment method, and signature line. PDFcap can turn a clean Word receipt into a fillable PDF, then you can print or save a copy each month. do you need it fillable on a phone or mainly printed?
