It has been exceptional EXCEPT it was a little underhanded the way you tell the user how much it will really cost. NOT Free as advertised. I am okay with it but thought it should be state up front.

Just starting out, but very satistied at this time - thanks so much - You would make MILLIONS if you had a button to consult a tax person with questions - THAT would be so great - Your marketing group should've suggested this! From an old marketeer, Barbara

How to Compress and Lock PDF with the pdfFiller desktop application for macOS

macOS is part of the Macintosh operating systems developed by Apple Inc. for its desktop computers. What differentiates it is its ease of use, stability, and high level of protection. Plenty of applications are preinstalled on macOS, but users still should download extra software to work with documents, especially when they’re in PDF format. Here you will find step-by-step instructions on how to shortly install the desktop application on macOS device and use its features.
01
Launch pdfFiller’s website in your browser
02
Download an application software for macOS
03
Go to Finder -> Applications -> pdfFiller
04
Install the app and launch it

Upload your document and Compress and Lock PDF
You'll receive a ready-made document template in just a few clicks, along with all the tools you need to further modify it, share it, and securely store.
macOS devices have a default software for working with documents called Preview, but it’s limited to viewing PDFs and making simple changes. It certainly meets some of your basic needs, but whenever you have more advanced tasks, such as creating sophisticated documents or interactive surveys, Preview is not the answer. This is where most turn towards pdfFiller.
pdfFiller is a effective decision for macOS users to generate, edit, and store documents. It has advantages that captivate, including integrations with cloud services, a user-friendly interface, and an extensive library of ready-made forms. For instance, you can upload a document from your Google Drive or select one of the 25 million forms in the pdfFiller Library, then quickly Compress and Lock PDF and save it to your account. Even further, you can also install the pdfFiller iOS mobile app for constant access to your account and documents even when on the go. Install the app now, sync on all your devices, and use it anywhere, at any time!
