pdfFiller scores top ratings on review platforms
So far so good... I could not find anything that said I have to pay AFTER I filled out a form. After I informed PDF of this situation they said I should have found it here and there. Anyway, they gave me a free months time and I filled out the form and downloaded it. Works great!!! I would recommend it... Thanks PDF...
Easy to use, creates clean, professional looking documents, allows you to upload any form or document that needs to be filled out and fill it in as if you typed it, without needing the typewriter! Whether you scan a form, upload a text or spreadsheet document, even image files, you can fill in any information needed and customize fonts, size, color, highlight sections, even verified signatures and PDFfiller will align your input horizontally and vertically. You can even create templates of your forms. Easy to use intuitive interface. A definite value for the money.
The user interface for entering numbers in a field is not particularly user friendly. That's the biggest thing. A feature to 'delight' your customers would be to include a field that had a simple 'summation' function.
Takes some time to get used to, and a little pricey, but acceptable. Will look around for cheaper alternatives when it comes to renewing subscription.
I have NO ablity for photoshop
I have NO ablity for photoshop, etc. But this software is easy to use and I can easily edit the few things I need to do. Highly recommend it for those who aren't to tech savy.
Quite good! Quite pleased to know I can unmerge a PDF file and add/remove files and have my file properly edited. I need to learn more about the features.
