What our customers say about pdfFiller
See for yourself by reading reviews on the most popular resources:
Obviously, the sales portion of the Web site needs clarifying, but customer support could not have been more generous and quick in solving my misunderstanding. Wish all companies did as fine a job.

My need for a Blumberg standard lease was satisfied, however the number of typographical errors in the form were surprising and correcting them caused a change in the font!! Very frustrating!
2019-02-02
I wish there was a way to access a blank 2019 W-2 form. The first form came up as 2019, but the only way I found to create 2019 for the other employees was to duplicate that first one and modify for the additional person. If not for that quirk, I would have given 5 stars.

So far PDFFiller is meeting my current needs and saving me time and money. I am pretty sure there are other features that I could take advantage of if I actually knew what they were. I welcome a webinar to learn more.
