What our customers say about pdfFiller

See for yourself by reading reviews on the most popular resources:
I don't like that you have to hard return on open spaces or the text goes off the page. I don't like how there is not any guidance on the cursor in pre-developed forms-there should at least be a grid view option. I do like how clean it looks and intuitive it is to use.

What do you like best?
I love that I can make any document filler-friendly. My handwriting is atrocious. I've completed applications, tax forms, and more. I love that I can move my text around. Love that I can easily insert check marks.
What do you dislike?
Sometimes I struggle a bit with saving my documents. I sometimes want to save one as a blank and one as a completely filled form.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Yes! It will make your life easier!
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
It's so easy to change a document I might have goofed up! I can make the change and reprint. Done. It's been a huge timesaver for me. I can prefill certain parts of a form I have to use over and over which saves time.

EASY like 123 having being able to come to this website , find the court document i need , and fill it out all at the same time has been life changing for me lately. i am able to clearly see what's written, understand it more, and also once i'm done implementing my information i can print however many copies i need without leaving home. This makes it a breeze when trying to look for court documents that you need.

I had difficult printing what i had written on a PDF. Although customer service was EXELLENT I still could not fully implement their detailed instructions.

Love this app very easy to use Love this app very easy to use. I highly recommend for applications that require "fill in" sections, majority of us have terrible handwriting and there is nothing more annoying than explaining what you wrote. Also you want to ensure your application is submitted as quickly and efficiently as possible.

How to Reduce the Size of a Word Document Compress Images. Save Images at Lower Resolutions. Avoid Embedding Fonts. Save a Copy of the Document. Stop Tracking Changes. Use the .docx Format. Insert Images Instead of Using Copy/Paste. Optimize When Saving as PDF.
Click Edit Document > Edit in Word for the web if you haven't done so already. Press Ctrl+A to select all the text in your document. Click Home > Shrink Font one or more times. As you click Shrink Font, Word decreases the size of every font in your document.
DOC and DOCX format Remove unnecessary images, formatting and macros. Save the file as a recent Word version. Reduce the file size of the images before they are added to the document. If it is still too large, save the file as a PDF.
Avoid embedded fonts Another reason Word files may get very large is because of font embedding. Users may embed fonts if they are using a non-standard font and plan to open the file on a device that does not have the font installed.
