What our customers say about pdfFiller

See for yourself by reading reviews on the most popular resources:
It is a little hard to figure out how to size and arrange the words so they will all appear on the printed document. I had to redo this several times.

Quite simple and handy to fill. I would have preferred using my own signature on the completed form but I had difficulty loading an image of my signature.

Best customer service ever Best customer service ever! I accidentally signed for a year and it cost me an amount of money I can't afford (it doesn't seem much, but when your local currency is way behind USD, it greatly hurts your wallet). After reaching Rachel on pdfFiller's customer service team, they not only refunded me but also waived a month of free access. I couldn't be happier of using it! Recommending it to all my friends, from now on!

I've had a good experience with pdfFiller but I'm still having difficulty navigating what exactly or how exactly to get blank forms that would help me in my current job, which is office manager for a plumbing company.
