Sometimes, when completing a PDF form we don’t know the exact answer to a particular question or need feedback from the document recipient. In situations like this, you can add comments to PDF documents online. In the past, you probably had to print the form and write your comments on the margins of the paper copy. Depending on your handwriting, the form might not have been very tidy and pleasant to look at. Now there is a far easier way to comment PDFs online. pdfFiller's simple but powerful document editor allows you to add text boxes with comments and remove them when they are no longer needed. To get started, you can upload a form to your account or open a document that’s already there. Select the Text Box tool

in the main toolbar, click where you want to place the box and type your comment. To resize the text box, drag its corners or edges. Change the font and its size by choosing from the drop-down lists.

You can underline, italicize or make your text bold using the respective tools.

Change position of the text using the vertical and horizontal alignment tools

To change the color of your text, click the text color box and select the color you want.

To change the background color, click the Background icon and select the color from the palette.

To link the text box to a web page, click the Hyperlink button.

In the dialog window that will open next, type the URL of the web page, then click Save. To delete the text box, click the trash can icon above it.

What do you like best?
The best feature of PDFFiller is its ease of use, whether it's editing documents, signing documents, and then being able to access your documents anywhere by logging onto the site, as opposed to being constrained if you don't have your computer files with you.
What do you dislike?
Some of the option menus should be improved upon, especially as far as layout and ease of finding what you need, it's a bit counterintuitive though with experience that becomes less of an issue.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
Signing PDFs with ease. Being able to access and edit a pdf no matter where I am as long as I have internet access, even if I don't have my computer with me and/or don't have access to my cloud storage.

Best software for PDF editing! My non-profit radio station has been more productive than ever before with PDFfiller! An user-friendly web app able to do much more than you thought it would do! - Edit PDF files easily - Recognize text and make them editable - Sign document simple as 1-2-3 It is not really cons, but some features are actually useless for me (ex: print to other companies to be sent at our offices)
