Initially, I wasn't too sure on how to use the various features and tools available. I took my time to read each area carefully, used the "help" icon. Very pleased with the results of todays work.

Needed a pdf editor, so found this one quickly on google. Expected to edit one document and then cancel my subscription. Edited many more. Wish I had this for the last two years I've been in school. Great Product! Will recommend.

It was really easy to modify the text but it didn't allow for modifying the form itself. When I ran out of blocks (Employee Review Form), I couldn't add any lines to the bottom or even take away some of the "Reviewer comments" to give me space to add more lines for categories.

So convenient and easy I absolutely love how easy it is to pull a document and fill in information or sign and send back out. This is super simple for the constant paperwork I must complete. It is difficult sometimes to get the size and format of wording to fit correctly.

One of the better document editing apps available Allows you to go completely paperless. Create pdf files from Excel, Word, etc. Merge or split different files. Offers electronic signatures. Easy to operate. Can track if the document has been viewed. The app does what it says it does but in order to use more advanced features and options, the cost can get expensive.

Anytime a client uses this, I sigh a relief Excellent for contracts and any paperwork. PDFfiller is super easy to use and takes the headache out of mundane paperwork filling. Kudos! I dislike that more people do not use it, if you aren't using this, what are you doing?

I started with pdfFiller almost a week… I started with pdfFiller almost a week ago, and tried to get support on and off. The Live Chat didn't work, so I was emailing, but the emailing didn't really work as I would wait for a response, and when I got a response, I was working on something else. But the Live Chat did work today. The first person was trying to help, but I didn't know how to do a screenshot and he got tired of waiting for me to do it and ended the chat. Then, I got KARA, who was fantastic. She did a Zoom meeting and showed me how to do everything I want. I am so relieved that I understand how to fix my problems, and I was just about to give up until Kara got on the Live Chat. She was patient and informative. She is a rock star!

Took some time to get used to it's… Took some time to get used to it's quirks after years of using Adobe Acrobat. But, I have actually found it easier to use and can do more .

PDF Filler - Very Helpful PDF Filler is an easy way to find and download documents. However, being in South Africa and having to pay in US $ is just too expensive.
