What our customers say about pdfFiller

See for yourself by reading reviews on the most popular resources:
In my opinion this application is very powerful, however not so intuitive, and I had to spend an inordinate amount of time in chat with technical support personnel. I would be happy to explain further.

I write reports for evaluations. Litigation has mandated that these reports be quite extensive. Handwriting them took hours. Scanning the forms into a pdf and allowing me to edit them is immeasurably helpful to maintaining my sanity.

Easy to use -- several format/file extension options for saving and ability to link with cloud and sharing platforms makes this so versatile. Having the option to save a filled form as a template is very helpful. The customization and array of options is allowing me to complete tasks, for which I previously needed multiple programs.

The forms are easy to fill out and the online chat help was great. But I was a little confused when I was first starting and seemingly just thrown into the fire so to speak after what I thought was just filling in a form and really didn't have a 'how to video' before I was already in ther.

Mam rada jednoduché a přehledné aplikace nad kterými nemusím zbytečně přemýšlet, neboť to většinou vede k tomu, ze úplně ztratím hlavu a prvotní myšlenku, ktera mě tam zavedla. . Takže v jednoduchosti je krása.

I used the free trial to compile rent due ledgers for the ************** requirement. I did not cancel on time and was charged $180 dollars. I reached out to support and ****** returned my email within minutes. I provided my information to customer service specialist ****** and he fixed the problem. There wasn't any back and forth emails. It was straight to the point. Thank you ****** for being quick and professional.

PDFfiller is a great tool for having documents signed on PDFs! Overall, I am super satisfied with PDFfiller and will continue to use. What I like most about PDFfiller is how easy it is for myself and clients to sign documents. This is one of the best tools I have found to edit. I do not have any complaints at this time regarding PDFfiller. It has been a lifesaver for myself when I need things signed!!

Right-click on the folder. Select Properties from the menu. On the dialog that appears, click the General tab. Click the Advanced button, then select Encrypt content to secure data.
Check Advanced>Security>Show Security Properties for the list of what you can specifically restrict on an individual PDF. You can specifically Restrict 'Filling of Form Fields' on the PDF, and have the security model be a password.
Folders can't be directly encrypted in macOS, but you can put them in password-protected containers. This has the effect of protecting your folders and the files they contain with a password. You can password-protect folders on macOS using the built-in Disk Utility application or a third-party tool called Encrypt.
In Disk Utility, go to File > New Image > Image from Folder Now, select the folder you want to password protect. You can save this new folder as anything you want. And after that, click Save. Click the padlock icon and select Lock Note. Click Set Password.
