See for yourself by reading reviews on the most popular resources:
When I registered I thought that it was only going to cost me $5.99 a month, but then my card got charged $19.99 and I was a little upset about that. But other then that it was a great benefit and I was able to do more things easier than I thought possible.

What do you like best?
PDFfiller is a great way for me to pre-fill documents that I use on a regular basis for my clients. By having as many fields clearly completed as possible, transactions that may have been held up due to illegible or missing information can be processed much more quickly. Clients also appreciate not having to do as much work! I also like the fact that I can use a social media signin for PDFfiller instead of having to create a separate user ID and password. It's one less thing that I have to remember.
What do you dislike?
Sometimes, I get frustrated by the "auto-detect" feature that highlights an entire line of a form. I'd rather use the text insertion feature and place text where I want it rather than have to edit the whole line. The other frustrating thing is having to make sure you're logged out on one computer before using it on another device in the office!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend PDFfiller without hesitation, with one caveat: only one sign-in is allowed at a time per user. If you use multiple computers at your place of employment, make sure you're signed out of PDFfiller on one computer before trying to sign on with the other. It will save you some aggravation. This is especially frustrating if you use the program on a desktop and a laptop and forget to sign out of the desktop computer before bringing the laptop home to work remotely. I did do a lot of research before deciding to invest in PDFfiller, and after my due diligence was hard-pressed to find an option with all of the features that I needed and at a price point that I felt was affordable. For the money, PDFfiller is a great investment for offices looking for ease and convenience with pre-filling forms. The learning curve is not very steep, and there is a lot of functionality for adding features besides text: check/"x" in specific boxes, highlighting, erasing, etc. I have used all of those features with little to no difficulty. Erasing is a bit of a science, with some trial and error involved in determining the exact size of the eraser needed for the job. Being able to move inserted text around easily and increase or decrease the font size as needed is a very helpful feature, especially if you want to call attention to certain pieces of information or make them stand out from the rest of the document. While I have not used the signature feature very often, I have found it to be useful in the rare instances that I have needed it. I have a copy of my signature saved in PDFfiller, which makes it very easy to insert a signature field into documents. Clients also appreciate this feature as well.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
PDFfiller is making it a lot easier for me to personalize and email forms to my clients, improving their service experience and saving me time and trouble. It's a huge convenience for me and much appreciated by clients whose handwriting is less than clear! The biggest benefit to me is having a library of frequently used documents that I can pull up on the fly, make adjustments and edits to a few fields, and have a new document ready to go in a matter of minutes. I've also been able to add information in the "white spaces" of forms I have created in the past, to include client-specific text, contact information and other items.

I super recommend it! Editing PDFs when you don't have the source document's has never been easier. You can erase what's written and replace it. What I like the least is that this software is a little bit slow sometimes. But overall, I recommend it.

Easy to use! Easy to upload files and edit them. Can add text, check boxes and even add wet signatures. All files kept in one place and can be easily downloaded back to my documents once edited!

Sensitive information that could be used to commit fraud or expose private information should be redacted. The following list is a general guide: Social security numbers. Driver's license or professional license numbers.
Legal Requirements Rule 5.2(a), titled Redacted Filings, provides that filings can only include the last four digits of a Social Security or tax ID number, the year of an individual's birth, a minor's initials or the last four digits of a financial account number.
What Is Document Redaction? Otherwise, known as document sanitizing, redaction is the process of blacking out or removing any sensitive information from a document, so it can be used and distributed, but still protect confidential information too.
See the Court's Transcript Redaction Policy. All filers must redact: Social Security or taxpayer-identification numbers. Dates of birth. Names of minor children. Financial account numbers. And, in criminal cases, home addresses, in compliance with Fed. R. CIV.
Redaction, sometimes called sanitization or data anonymization, is the process of removing confidential or sensitive information from a document to protect that information. When documents are redacted, they can be used or published by a wider audience than originally intended without compromising confidentiality.
2 : to select or adapt (as by obscuring or removing sensitive information) for publication or release broadly : edit. 3 : to obscure or remove (text) from a document prior to publication or release.
Redaction Defined Redaction is the task of rendering passages in a document illegible because those passages are confidential or otherwise exempt from disclosure. The process to redact passages from a printed document is to obscure the text or images with a dark permanent marker.
Use the paper document method to redact a scanned file. Print out the paper document. Cut out the text that needs to be redacted. Use opaque tape or paper to cover the redacted sections. Scan the document and save it as a PDF.
