What our customers say about pdfFiller

See for yourself by reading reviews on the most popular resources:
I had to refile my last 4 years 1040 and all tax docs. After going through the IRS web docs but unable to edit them I found all the docs on the PDFfiller website. After a little work with the editors I was able to process professional docs. I bought a year sub and look to see if I can use this app for other business uses.

PDF filler is user friendly. I am able to access previous years 1040 forms for clients who have had issues with their past years taxes. All of the forms are easily accessible. I enjoy using the tools available such as highlight, signing documents ect.

What do you like best?
I can take forms from online and my computer and can easily and neatly fill them in. I also love the form creation feature.
What do you dislike?
Learning to create forms is much harder than expected.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great service. Uploading and using forms is intuitive and easy. Allow time for learning if creating own forms.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
I mainly use it to complete and store forms. I plan to use it to create forms in the future.

What do you like best?
It works. Easy to use platform. I've subscribed for several years and they continue to make improvements. I tried docusign and this was just as good.
What do you dislike?
I don't like that it won't link up with business accounts on OneDrive so I can't store my files on OneDrive. Really would be nice to have them fix that! Also for some weird reason, the system only can connect with personal accounts. Sometimes, it's not easy to find my documents. Finally, the plug-in for Chrome doesn't always work well. Usually, it's just better to go into the app itself.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Compare the functionality you need to what it offers. I suspect you'll find it's sufficient.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
Send out paperwork for signatures and fill out paperwork online instead of printing, signing, and scanning it.

It's too early to comment. It's too early to comment about my experience. I started using this software today. Whatever I work I did today . with the software was a satisfactory. I need to try many other features and train myself using this software, before I can comment about my overall satisfaction.

This review is based on experience with the program itself I loved it. It was simple to use and I loved that I could save my documents and go back in and edit them again whenever I wanted. The only thing I didn't really like was the price. I opted to go with the monthly subscription because I knew I didn't need the program for a long period of time. I have used other programs on a monthly service before and have paid cheaper. However, still loved the overall use of the program, and I was able to cancel my subscription without an issue as well.

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.
