What our customers say about pdfFiller
See for yourself by reading reviews on the most popular resources:
The stars did not appear on this survey, so nothing is marked; however, this was and still is a great service, and is very much needed as it is a very helpful tool in filling out forms that do allow computer input. :-)

It is great to be able to find government forms I need for my business and able to complete them in such a short time! Going through other services, this proves to be costly (especially at tax time) and the yearly fee I pay is minimal and well worth it!

Great. However, I need to type vertical on the forms I am filling out and am not sure PDFfiller allows this process. There are two pages that I prefer to print on one page but I do not see this option when I am ready to print.

Slick tool. Nice editing capabilities. Some of the menus are confusing - for example: finding where to update an existing link to fill document is challenging.

What do you like best?
Being able to type into a form that would otherwise be hard to complete.
What do you dislike?
Once document is finished, it is always like a Easter egg hunt to find its saved location on my PC. Should be in downloads folder, but guess again!
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

Honestly, I used this service for one day. I did the whole hoopla, signing up for the service, getting my PDF's and documents taken care of, then went in to cancel my free trial. Well, something went wrong, and I was charged for a full year that I didn't want. But the reason they get 5 stars instead of zero-- they voided the charge same day that I emailed them. They weren't worried about pinching pennies, they were worried about being a good business and doing the right thing. That's a 10/10 in my book. Honestly, I have them bookmarked on my webpage so that if/when I need their services again, I'll definitely be going back!

It solves my simple requirements without spending on the expenses of a Designer. I love how it shows you step-by-step instructions on how to edit forms.
It is a great tool for anyone to use. No matter what type of company, school or type of work you do, you will find everything in this software. In addition, files are at your fingertips at any time with PDFfiller.
I don't have to complain about PDFfiller, because it is surprisingly this software, well worth the investment.

Creating forms has never been easy
Extremely handy tool to create forms and collect data from clients
Very important tool for creating fillable PDF forms. Includes features like highlighting, drawing and also option to place images and logos.
Advanced features need more effort from user to understand. Ability to download form on local drive and re-upload for convenience.
