What do you like best?
I like that the website is very easy to use and allows many different functions, including digital signatures and saving directly into your computer. I also like the options to save a template to use, which saves me a lot of time as I am always using the same forms.
What do you dislike?
I dislike that I always have to log in again every time I use the website.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
Digital signatures. Being able to edit PDF with a Mac since most PDF programs are only compatible with windows.

Overall great value for the performance and features!
Great UI/UX, picks up all embedded objects from a multi-layer or flat PDF file. Reasonable subscription plan options and the signature/send to sign features are a game changer for a SaaS tool.

All trials have been very satisfactory. It has been easy to learn the use of the various features. Especially the relatively small size of the ready documents is appreciated.

PDFfiller is an asset to my work as an ESE teacher. Without it, I'd have no way to send forms which require digital signatures. I like that it is very easy to use and the link feature is great!
