I was a first time user and it was late at night and the PDFfiller.com information was a little confusing. I had problems opening the document on my computer as it was not readable. I reported this via live chat around 12:45 AM and it was resolved in about 10 mins or so. I was happy with the outcome.

This system is excellent if you are using it most of the time if not surely with its complication and unique property compared to facebook and google, surely you will face difficulty in understanding all its features. Again this software requires time to master the system.

All trials have been very satisfactory. It has been easy to learn the use of the various features. Especially the relatively small size of the ready documents is appreciated.

AWESOME CUSTOMER SERVICE AND POLICIES Used PDFfiller for one document and forgot to cancel my trial subscription. As soon as I was billed, I contacted customer support for a refund and Anna from the customer support team did it immediately. The process was so swift that even I was surprised. I wish more companies were as quick and understanding as these guys. Will definitely not hesitate to use this company again or recommend it to people. Thankyou so much!

A good program (and nice people) A good program, a bit too comprehensive for me (in some ways), and a few (to me) important features were missing. After my trial period, I was accidentally invoiced for a full year, the support department solved that nicely.
