PDF Filler has been extremely easy to use and navigate. It has all the features that I need to fill out pdf forms. I've been using the service for over a year now and have never had any complaints.

My need for a Blumberg standard lease was satisfied, however the number of typographical errors in the form were surprising and correcting them caused a change in the font!! Very frustrating!

Easy to use and efficient
Excellent
The software is easy to use and the efficiency is definitely worth the price. I would recommend this product to friends and colleagues.
I haven't experienced any issues with the product.

PDFFiller saved my books!
PDFFiller saved my books! As a young author, I had no idea what I was doing and deleted my original documents once the books were published. I only kept the print-ready PDFs. Years later, I realized there were a lot of spelling mistakes and errors in them, and wanted to re-publish. Since the books had photos, I couldn't simply convert to a doc. Most PDF tools online didn't work, or put on watermarks. PDFFiller allowed me to edit the text in the PDFs, to correct the spelling mistakes, and merge the documents into one cohesive PDF again. I was able to republish an edited book without the original documents, thanks to PDFFiller.
The one thing I missed that could make this a fantastic tool- the original book was 8.5x11. I wanted to republish at 6x9. I ended up having to resize it through a different tool, which simply shrunk everything instead of being able to directly resize the content. Due to that, the book appears much smaller on the pages than it should, and I've received some complaints that it's harder to read. If PDFFiller had a viable PDF resize tool that worked to resize the content versus simply shrinking the document, it would be a stellar addition to the repertoire.

Super helpful
Super helpful, I am on maternity leave and this makes it easier to get paper signed and filled out to my employer. So I am able to add my newborn to my insurance.

Thank you <3
My experience here is great. I've talked to one of their support and she's really nice. She resolved the issue immediately. Thank you so much, K!

PDF Filler was easy to learn and use, I was able to get the signatures I needed, very satisfied. The only thing I was unaware of (could have been in the small print) was the trial obligation before being able to download my signed document. Overall Great experience.

Top notch customer service!
Accidentally subscribed for an annual subscription so was shocked to see $118 come out of my account. I got in touch with the customer support team and they couldn’t have been more helpful. They refunded the money and cancelled my subscription immediately. 5* customer service - well done PDFFiller!
