What our customers say about pdfFiller
See for yourself by reading reviews on the most popular resources:
A little difficult navigating. There is no clear description of what some of the functions are. Would be helpful to maybe add a description as you hover over a button, or at least give a description of what the function does when you click on it.

I was looking for this solution. I work from multiple locations and multiple computers and using other pdf softwares that only allowed me to use the software on a certain number of registered devices was not a good solution for me anymore. I would have given this 5 stars, but I am still learning to use it, and I wish it was faster. In all fairness, the the lags may have to do with the processor in the chromebook I am primarily using it on right now which may not be that fast. It was an inexpensive device so it is very possible that my device is the reason for the slow transitions and not the software.

Great for filling paper on the go
What I liked the most of this software is that it is great for filling out paper work online
What I liked the least is not many options to choose from as in where to fill out.

Might be signing up again because of the combine pdf feature you offer. Adobe couldn’t even combine my pdfs for whatever reason. I would need a slightly cheaper subscription then you offer.

This is a more intuitive platform than even some of the mainstays in the world of document management. Well done!

At first it seemed hard, trying to figure out how to save the completed document, and to get to the next step of saving the document and sending it by email. But I got it now. Thanks

Customer service is also great - prompt and friendly in attending to any questions or issues. Makes running my business that much easier.

I only just started using it
I only just started using it, so only 4 stars, but I don't see any issues other than the lack of fonts in the signature section. Seems to be a solid app.

How do I black out text in a PDF without redacting?
Tips to Black out Text in PDF without Redacting Use the right color and opacity: When blacking out text, choose a dark color that is not easily visible through the fill. Adjust the opacity to your preference to ensure that the blacked-out text is not easily readable.
Can you edit a redacted PDF?
Once a file is saved with redactions applied, there's no way to get the information back. If you overwrite the original PDF with the redacted version, the redacted information is gone forever.
How do I add text to a PDF redaction?
Click the drop-down menu next to the Redact Text & Images box, and select Redaction Tool Properties. Pick outline and fill colors for the redacted area, or click Use Overlay Text. Add custom text in the field, choose from US Privacy Act and FOIA codes, or import new codes. Click OK when you have your selections.
