What our customers say about pdfFiller

editing document is fine. Underlining is hard to figure out. Simply saving for future use (not exporting) is not clear but I stumbled on a solution that I hope will work.

Much better than last year. But the pages slide badly -- need one page at a time to finish rather than slipping from page to page as I try to work on just one.

So useful! I use pdfFiller to quickly complete forms. It even has my signature saved so I can sign the document at the end. Since I type much faster than I write, I prefer pdfFiller rather than printing and filling out forms my hand. It makes completing forms much easier without having to print and fill them out by hand, I have no issues with pdfFiller. It works well for me.

I use this almost on a day to day with all kinds of documents. it is the best thing that has happen to me when it comes to computers. I have been trying to get everybody I know to get this program, I paid for the year and most likely will pay for next year too.

This program is a life saver. Only that I wish I was able to push the numbers over to the side a bit and make them a little bolder. I pray that they don't see the imperfections and I can get my loan approved. Thanks for the help pdffiller.

PDF Filler is a great website for me to… PDF Filler is a great website for me to use. It's simple and convenient since I don't need to fill everything by hand. The only issues I have are filling in the date because I'm required to manually select the day, month, and year. Another issue is the website automatically switching to the next page which is annoying because I want to check all the fill ins are correct. Lastly, the layout of the website is rather confusing because I had to spent a couple of minutes figuring out how to import documents and other stuff. That's why PDF Filler gets a 4 star rating because of these mild inconvenience.
