Excellent website with great features
I receive documents from my client's customers that need to be filled out and signed by my client. These are handled by PDFFILLER quickly and efficiently.
It's very easy to fill in PDF files and it's just as simple to add and insert signatures.
Sometimes movements within the website are a bit lengthy. After downloading a completed document, returning to the exact page would be nice.

PDFfiller Review
In my job, we send out contracts and W-9 forms to meeting attendees all the time. PDFfiller is great because attendees can quickly "sign" and send their documents right back, without having to print the forms, sign them manually, and then deal with faxing/scanning/or taking a picture to send it back. I like how seamless PDFfiller is.
Sometimes, the actual signature does not populate, and all that shows is a stamp saying the person signed it. However, with things like contracts and W-9s, we need an actual signature, whether it be manual or digital.

I really enjoy this site and all it had to offer I've been able to get everything I needed done and more. I would reccomend this site to anyone looking for the types of things this site has to offer.

What do you like best?
Not only is the actual program extremely easy to use, but when i did happen to need support, the guy, Ray, I was connected to was happy to fulfill my every request and in less than 5 minutes had me back to my project. And my issue was requesting my already processed payment for a whole year subscription be returned and only run for a month. I was prepared to argue and be given every excuse out there just to be let go with a bad taste in my mouth and not helped. Boy was I wrong! Ray was super helpful and more than happy to process my request. I was pleasantly surprised. You just don't find customer service reps like this anymore and it's a shame. I was extremely pleased!!!
What do you dislike?
I don't like that in the Google search it claims to be a free PDF editor but when you get finished with whatever you are working on, mine was 48 pages, before you can save or print the document you are asked to purchase a 1-year subscription.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The program is easy to use, affordable, and customer support is top-notch. What more could you ask for??
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
I used pdfFiller to edit divorce papers I downloaded from the court clerk's website in another city in my state. PdfFiller allowed me to be able to draw up my own divorce papers instead of paying an attorney more than $500 to do it for me.
Customer Service Representative, RAY, is a HUGE benefit I have realized.

I grew tired of waiting for my colleague to get around to fixing our PDFs. This program has made it quick and easy for me to accomplish what we really needed to help our clients! I am very pleased with how intuitive it has been.

Very helpful customer service experience
Very helpful customer service experience! Used the chat function on the website and Sam was quick and efficient to respond and my issue was instantly solved. Very refreshing as so many many companies leave you on hold for hours or don't reply at all!

The program is easy to use and powerful, and I had a great customer experience with their support team. I was stressed and they left me satisfied. 10/10 would recommend this to anyone in business.
