What our customers say about pdfFiller

See for yourself by reading reviews on the most popular resources:
I worked fine for my needs of filling in a PDF file and saving it with data. I would like to see the ability to CREATE a fillable PDF file that I could distribute to others to fill out, save, and return to me.

Before I got PDFfiller, I couldn't figure out how to add text to PDFs. I work for myself and am required to add information to certain PDFs. I am no longer struggling and frustrated. It is very easy to use and well worth the year's subscription.

So far it has worked for what I need. I wish there was a better price for non profit corporations. AZ Exotic Bird Rescue, Inc. is a 501c3 charity but I had to buy myself because of the cost.

So far it is wonderful but I've got to continue further to see if it is all that and the cake and ice cream at that time I should give 5 Bright Shining Stars!!

What do you like best?
I am able to create and update PDF files easily. The newer/updated features are wonderful. (ie. font colors and actual fonts)
What do you dislike?
Haven't had any issues that I can think of
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If your company handles PDF files on a regular day to day like mine this is a must-have. From removing or just moving pages to changing/adding the text. I use it daily and haven't found another product that compares. Even Adobe Acrobat doesn't compare.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
I can update items that have been delivered to me in a PDF format that I would have issues with normally.

What do you like best?
Program is very intuitive and easy to use. I spend less than 10 mins to recreate a document for Customers and it makes a world of difference.
What do you dislike?
I don't think I have any dislike...or at least none that I've come across too.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's a must have program...so easy to use and it does it all. Plus an extra bonus is that it's less in cost then the highest competitor. WIN, WIN!
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
I edit our invoices & receipts. I'm able to provide progress invoices that our system doesn't do. This helps our Customers tremendously to understand paperwork.

Great Easy to use the program, has a lot of great features & tools to use within the program. Will recommend to others. Love the timeline status for documents sent out or waiting to be signed Don't like the reloading that the program does when open reopening documents sometimes. Overall not much to complaint about
