King of PDF Filling PDFfiller really saves time by allowing you to directly write on the PDF. Previously I had to print it out and fill out the details and have to rescan the document and PDFfiller eliminates all these steps. It's very simple to use as you just have to drop the PDF file which needs to be filled. The biggest advantage is that it also works with a file which is not "fillable" by allowing you to add text and images on it. Often times larger PDF file doesn't work directly so I have to divide it and have to re-upload them again. I think it would be really helpful if PDFfiller allows such functionality by default where it either works directly or ability to divide it on their website.

The software worked great but didn’t… The software worked great but didn’t quite fit my needs as a student who uses pdf editing 90% of the time to write with a stylus for exams. The reason I gave them 5 stars is for customer service. They were very kind and helpful when I contacted them about my account.

Our Explain PDF tools enable users to improve their understanding of complex pieces of information within their PDF documents. Enhanced by AI technology, this feature offers detailed explanations for selected content within your document. The flow is super intuitive. You just need to copy and paste or enter the text that needs explaining in the input box and get a response in the output box.
Under the hood, our Explain PDF feature uses advanced AI algorithms designed to clear up intricate content in your document as accurately as possible. However, like with all AI-driven tools, human oversight remains essential to ensure the highest level of accuracy and avoid potential errors. That’s why if you deal with important documents, you should always cross-verifying information, especially from complex niches.
Primarily, we plan to design our Explain PDF feature to be English-based. However, you can use another AI-based option pdfFiller will provide to translate your text without leaving your document—PDF translator.
Despite its name, pdfFiller supports various formats. You can upload files in DOC, DOCX, RTF, TXT, PPT, PNG, and JPEG formats, and the editor will automatically convert them into PDF. You can also convert them back later in our editor.

It uses advanced encryption SHA-256 algorithm, offers industry-regulated standards to be able to comply with PCI DSS and HIPAA, and more. Additionally, our editor provides two-factor authentication for electronic signature requests and allows storing documents in password-protected folders while tracking document activity with our Audit Trail option.
