What our customers say about pdfFiller

See for yourself by reading reviews on the most popular resources:
Very helpful tool for 1099. How do you auto populate though. I find it tedious to manually type the same info over and over. Still WAY better than the alternative though. Thanks.

What do you like best?
I like that the website is very easy to use and allows many different functions, including digital signatures and saving directly into your computer. I also like the options to save a template to use, which saves me a lot of time as I am always using the same forms.
What do you dislike?
I dislike that I always have to log in again every time I use the website.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
Digital signatures. Being able to edit PDF with a Mac since most PDF programs are only compatible with windows.

King of PDF Filling PDFfiller really saves time by allowing you to directly write on the PDF. Previously I had to print it out and fill out the details and have to rescan the document and PDFfiller eliminates all these steps. It's very simple to use as you just have to drop the PDF file which needs to be filled. The biggest advantage is that it also works with a file which is not "fillable" by allowing you to add text and images on it. Often times larger PDF file doesn't work directly so I have to divide it and have to re-upload them again. I think it would be really helpful if PDFfiller allows such functionality by default where it either works directly or ability to divide it on their website.

some of the forms are the same but pdfFiller has them in different names. I keep filling out the same form over and over, thinking it's a different one. confusing.

The process of filling out the form is electronic and sign the document with the eSignature feature so multiple users can collaborate on the document at the same time. It also has special security features to keep all data safe. The downside is that the existing form templates are very limited. It's also inappropriate.for relatively long documents besides mac or iOS version is not provided besides it has a subscription fee to pay.

****** from PdfFiller is Excellent!I needed to cancel my service for the time being for financial reasons and they handled it kindly and seamlessly with no hassle. Should I need this type of service again, I will definitely be back. Would recommend PdfFIller to others. The service itself is intuitive and helped me easily provide my on boarding information for my new job.
