I was in a real pinch with only a couple of days left to send out 1099-R forms and facing having to type them on an old-fashioned typewriter, until I found PDFfiller. You saved me hours of frustration and extra work!

Great product but some features were clunky for me during the trial period...specifically send to sign. Hoping for smoother usage with the purchased professional version & after attending the training webina

So far so good! Can't figure out a way to fill in dates properly though without dragging text in - or change the check box from cross to tick. Overall though saving a lot of time!

I like it but only need to fill in a few forms a year so it's not cost efficient for me. I would pay if the pricing were different. Instead I'll just unsubscribe.

Very professional, highly recommended. I needed to create some fillable PDFs for a course I'm running and PDFfiller allowed me to do that with ease. I needed a bit of guidance on how to do it from their person in the chat box (who was very helpful and efficient) and, once they showed me what to do (it was easy), the software was great and pretty intuitive and allowed me to create fillable boxes neatly and easily - it gives you guidelines so you can line them up with each other. It's a pity they don't do a "one-off" fee of $5 or something, rather than a subscription because it's not something I need regularly, so I'd have been happy to just pay a little something toward using it, rather than signing up for the 30 day free trial. Highly recommended. Very professional. Lisa Cherry Beaumont of LisaCherryBeaumont.com

Works well with scanned pdfs to You can wite-out on the page when you need to change some data. You can highlight, it has most features like other pdf programs. The time it takes to upload takes longer than with adobe acrobat.

I had DocuSign and tried PdfFiller. A much better experience with PdfFiller. Easier to use, and less costly for the infrequent user like My Wife and Myself

It includes everything I needed to do, and then some. Its much more user friendly then even Adobe itself. But, for the price, and my specific needs, it works great.
