What our customers say about pdfFiller

See for yourself by reading reviews on the most popular resources:
I like it thus far, however, there should be a discount for students, we are on a budget and this would so help. I have recommended your software to other classmates, i really like it, but somewhat pricey for my basic use.

I am new at this point. so far all is working fine. On the few I've used the program with it has been smooth and the people signing have liked the ease of use

I was sold on the ability to edit anything on the document easily with PDF filler. I have the latest copy of Nuance Power PDF Standard that I used to create an editable form and I could not figure out how to edit some of the fields on the PDF doc. (I believe the source PDF file may have been poorly designed for computer input.) Anyway, I find PDF filler very easy to use--no need to convert the document to a form--just start editing with the various tools. Neat!

A little confusing at first but once we got the hang of things it was okay. I wish there were more options for fonts and placement of wording and graphics but overall okay

PDFfiller seems to do everything I need, thanks. The only negative, and it's hard to pin down, is that the UI (user interface) seems to be overly busy and cluttered. But it works.

What do you like best?
Ability to add notes to PDFs for my clients. It really does help answer questions for them much faster and help them understand the document better.
What do you dislike?
I wish I could merge and rearrange documents without it costing more to upgrade to do so. Would also be nice if If could set two password when securing a file. One for client and my master password
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
Being able to mark up pdf documents for my clients that otherwise I could not. I like the pen option to call out important numbers for them to review. Being able to highlight where there signature is needed is an added plus

Great PDF editor! Great! PDFfiller is easy to use, powerful, and user-friendly. It has all the features I need. I'd like to see more fonts so I can match the fonts on the PDF page.
