What our customers say about pdfFiller
See for yourself by reading reviews on the most popular resources:
It think it can be very useful once I get the hang of it. Disappointed that for a yearly subscription of $72.00 you don't get access to the erase feature. This feature is even free online. Do consider and include it.

Easy, reliable and very effective
Makes completing forms easy and professional. Easy to navigate, easy to find and upload forms and easy to send/save.
the only negative thing I could say is that I would like to have the font a different size and I have been unable to fit it correctly in some spaces.

What do you like best about the product?
It's the best tool for PDF editing I have found so far
What do you dislike about the product?
Too expensive if you're not a business user (the price is too high for myself when I need the tool for a few times during the month, so it doesn't worth the price)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It works perfectly as an editor, so I can easily change my documents with minimum effort.

I love this app but I wish it was more user friendly
I love this app but I wish it was more user friendly. Especially when beginning the use of this app and also know I sometime struggle to figure out how to print or upload my document I need to fill in my information to the document. But other than that I love that this app is out there!!!

I've had a great experience using PDFfiller. This application has saved me an enormous amount of time and gas running back and forth to different agencies in town.

no problems so far
no problems so far, only thing I don't like is that the forms you search for come from google and isn't always the same thing you are searching for.
2020-12-12
Great service. I thought my subscription had expired but the tech support hooked me back up in a jiffy! I prefer to use PDFfiller program rather than the Acrobat Reader DC program. I will always renew my subscription in the future.

How do I know if my PDF is scanned?
How to distinguish scanned PDF from a regular PDF? One way of knowing whether your PDF is a scanned, image-based PDF is to try and select some text. You cannot select text in a scanned PDF, you can only select an area of image. In a regular PDF, you can select and copy text.
How do I search for a word in a scanned PDF?
Step 3: How to Search for Words in a Scanned PDF For both cases, you can use the “Ctrl+F” or “Cmd+F” function in Windows and Mac, respectively.
How do I search a scanned PDF?
