What our customers say about pdfFiller

See for yourself by reading reviews on the most popular resources:
The forms are good but they would be much better if the user could "snap to" the proper location when typing into a box. Without a "snap to" type guide it is difficult to place the cursor in the correct location within a box and especially difficult to get columns to line up.

EASY TO USE, TRULY ALLOWS ONE TO EDIT PDFS. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE MORE FONTS AND THE ABILITY TO SET THE FONT SIZE MANUALLY, AND SMALLER THAN SIZE 8. OTHER THAN THAT, GREAT, USEFUL APP.

Using it to send IRS forms, very flexible options. Would like to enlarge the font size for printing some forms. If I use it more in future I will be interested in the webinar, but no need right now.

A "Must have" business software. I am a partner in a CPA firm. We regularly receive emails loaded with "pdf" attachments. It's a pain to open and print each one. PDFiller makes the process as simple as can be. Simple to use. You literally drag all your "pdf" files into PDFiller and hit the merge key. Works like a charm, every time. Really can't think of anything that I don't like about the software.

Great but Pricey Great tool and I do have the paid version but the cost is a bit much. Not sure I would renew membership. That will be based on your personal needs.

It works great and I had 1 slight problem It works great and I had 0 problems until I had to sign up for a subscription before being able to download the very important documents I had started. Would be better to let people know beforehand unless I, myself, didn't see such thing.

Instructions and Help about Redact Line Text For Free

Redact Line Text: make editing documents online a breeze

Since PDF is the most common document format in business, working with the best PDF editor is important.

All the most commonly-used file formats can be easily converted into PDF. You can create a multi-purpose file in PDF instead of keeping its content in different file formats. That’s why it is ideal for basic presentations and easy-to-read reports.

Though there are many solutions offering PDF editing features, it’s difficult to find one that covers all PDF editing features available at a reasonable price.

With pdfFiller, it is possible to edit, annotate, convert PDFs into other formats, add your digital signature and fill out in one browser window. You don’t have to download any applications.

Use one of these methods to upload your document template and start editing:

01
Upload a document from your device.
02
Search for the form you need from the catalog.
03
Open the Enter URL tab and insert the link to your sample.
04
Upload a document from the cloud storage (Google Drive, Box, Dropbox, One Drive and others).
05
Browse the Legal library.

Once a document is uploaded, it’s saved in the cloud and can be found in the “My Documents” folder.

Use powerful editing tools such as typing text, annotating, and highlighting. Add fillable fields and send to sign. Change a page order. Add and edit visual content. Collaborate with other people to fill out the fields. Once a document is completed, download it to your device or save it to the third-party integration cloud.
