Use case overview
An accountant uploads an independent contractor agreement to their pdfFiller account or finds it in the online library. After adding fillable fields to the document, the accountant saves it as a template. The template is then pre-filled with data and sent to a client for review and eSignature. Once the contract is approved, the accountant receives a signed copy of it in their pdfFiller inbox.

We use pdfFiller to fill out government tax forms for our nonprofit organization. The primary benefit is a secure place to share and store all our documents that we can search and edit when we need. This software saves us an immense amount of time. It provides a method to update and edit documents in minutes with recurring pages that would otherwise take 4x times longer to fill out.

This platform is so easy to use. I usually get very annoyed with PDF files as most of the other websites I have tried have been a complete pain to make the adjustments I need. pdfFiller allowed me to easily add the information, download, and save my personal eSignature with my toddler on my lap!

Using pdfFiller has saved us 110 hours per year at $35.00 per hour as far as we can tell. And that was just the beginning of the savings because that time was put to productive, front-end, revenue-producing use, so the swing was at least triple in addition to what we saved.
