What our customers say about pdfFiller

See for yourself by reading reviews on the most popular resources:
My first day! As far away from tech savvy as you can get! With help on "Team Viewer" I learned how to solve all the problems I had getting started. I will certainly use tech support again but off to a fun start.

What do you like best?
PDFfiller is a great way for me to pre-fill documents that I use on a regular basis for my clients. By having as many fields clearly completed as possible, transactions that may have been held up due to illegible or missing information can be processed much more quickly. Clients also appreciate not having to do as much work! I also like the fact that I can use a social media signin for PDFfiller instead of having to create a separate user ID and password. It's one less thing that I have to remember.
What do you dislike?
Sometimes, I get frustrated by the "auto-detect" feature that highlights an entire line of a form. I'd rather use the text insertion feature and place text where I want it rather than have to edit the whole line. The other frustrating thing is having to make sure you're logged out on one computer before using it on another device in the office!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend PDFfiller without hesitation, with one caveat: only one sign-in is allowed at a time per user. If you use multiple computers at your place of employment, make sure you're signed out of PDFfiller on one computer before trying to sign on with the other. It will save you some aggravation. This is especially frustrating if you use the program on a desktop and a laptop and forget to sign out of the desktop computer before bringing the laptop home to work remotely. I did do a lot of research before deciding to invest in PDFfiller, and after my due diligence was hard-pressed to find an option with all of the features that I needed and at a price point that I felt was affordable. For the money, PDFfiller is a great investment for offices looking for ease and convenience with pre-filling forms. The learning curve is not very steep, and there is a lot of functionality for adding features besides text: check/"x" in specific boxes, highlighting, erasing, etc. I have used all of those features with little to no difficulty. Erasing is a bit of a science, with some trial and error involved in determining the exact size of the eraser needed for the job. Being able to move inserted text around easily and increase or decrease the font size as needed is a very helpful feature, especially if you want to call attention to certain pieces of information or make them stand out from the rest of the document. While I have not used the signature feature very often, I have found it to be useful in the rare instances that I have needed it. I have a copy of my signature saved in PDFfiller, which makes it very easy to insert a signature field into documents. Clients also appreciate this feature as well.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
PDFfiller is making it a lot easier for me to personalize and email forms to my clients, improving their service experience and saving me time and trouble. It's a huge convenience for me and much appreciated by clients whose handwriting is less than clear! The biggest benefit to me is having a library of frequently used documents that I can pull up on the fly, make adjustments and edits to a few fields, and have a new document ready to go in a matter of minutes. I've also been able to add information in the "white spaces" of forms I have created in the past, to include client-specific text, contact information and other items.

PDF Filler is great PDF Filler is great, I only gave it 4 Stars because the amount of features and functionality can be confusing and the interface is a little out-dated, but this is the most complete PDF solution available.

Great program and awesome customer service This program did above and beyond what I needed to accomplish for my pdf files that I needed to urgently edit. Signed up for the free trial and had no issues cancelling the subscription service when contacting the customer service for assistance. Should my work orientate around paper work and documents, I would most definitely pay for this service with peace of mind knowing that this service values it's customers.

Program is very user friendly. Able to properly prepare and submit IRS Form 941. Easy to use and instructions on usage is very user friendly. Cost to use the system is affordable. Ability to save documents is crucial to church finances.

I've used their software and it's extreemly good. But what I liked most about their company was their integrity. Twice our auto renewal popped and most companies would use this as a gotcha moment to take your money. Both times we didn't require the auto renewal they credited within 2hrs of an email. Amazing customer service and great company integrity. Would reccomend to anyone.

Very good to be able to edit pdfs Very good to be able to edit pdfs, though it is still a fairly clunky procedure. But for a free download you can't complain.

Great service. I thought my subscription had expired but the tech support hooked me back up in a jiffy! I prefer to use PDFfiller program rather than the Acrobat Reader DC program. I will always renew my subscription in the future.
