Great office tool to use. I used PDFfiller to fill out superannuation and government forms where clarity is desirable. Very easy and intuitive to use.

FPDF FILLER EXCELLENT TOOL. IT WOULD BE NICE IF WE COULD ADD A PAGE TO AN EXISTING DOCUMENT SO THAT IT ALSO BECOMES PART OF THE ORIGINAL DOCUMENT. IF THE THERE ARE FOR EXAMPLE 10 PAGES UPLOADED AND I WANT TO INSERT A PAGE IN FRONT OR IN BACK OF SAY PAGE 7 THEN I COULD MAKE IT A COMPETE DOCUMENT WITH THE PROPER INSERT. OR IF I COULD DELETE A PAGE FROM THE 10 PAGES AND INSERT A NEW PAGE IN THE PROPER INSERTION POINT.

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.

Easy to use I have converted from our company's old way of emailing documents to print, sign, and scan back to us to digital signatures. It has made the process much easier for me and all of our new team members I would love to be able to consolidate multiple documents into one OR send multiple documents with one email

First time trying this app/website. So far it has worked perfectly for what I needed it to do. So only time will tell in order for me to find out if it'll work good for any other different edits I may need in the future. Only downside so far is when I first used it I just used it on their website and after I finished my first edit I went and searched pdffiller in the app store and I downloaded the app and I started my second edit thru the app. I noticed that when editing in/thru the app I didn't have at least 1 of the features that I had/used when I was doing my first edit so I ended up closing the app and finishing my second edit thru their website bcos the main reason I needed an edit document app was so that I could delete the pages from a few documents that werent needed to shorten the document itself and in the app it wouldn't let me delete any of the pages. The only option the app would give me that had to do with the pages was if I wanted to change the order the pages were originally in then I could choose what order I wanted the pages in but there wasn't any delete pages option but other then that I love pdffiller so far! Although I really wish/think the account subscription price in order to actually use the app should be cheaper. Which for the cheapest/bare minimum options they give you is $8 monthly which I think is expensive considering. I personally think it should be at the most $4 monthly. Or have an option where it's $2 monthly and then depending on how often you use it and what you have to use it for, then there should be a small $.75¢ - $2.00 charge/fee depending on what you'll be editing and how many tools you'll be using and then that should be how the company decides how much to charge per edit and then the customer can decide what exactly they want to do for edits and what they don't etc. I don't know I just think $8 monthly is really high especially for someone like me that will likely only use it a couple times a year and I'd be more likely to keep the subscription and not just do the free trial if it was lower then $4 a month otherwise it's not worth it for me to keep the subscription after the 30 day free trial but that's just me personally
