What our customers say about pdfFiller

See for yourself by reading reviews on the most popular resources:
It's somewhat costly, but it works. I have no idea whether it's worth it. I needed to get something done, and it was easy to find, so it was worth it to me. I certainly was glad there was a half price sale.

I live in Philadelphia SEPTA is not running because of contract issues but my military ask that I complete a form and send it to them within five days or I would be subject to pay large amount. Since I could use PDF Filler that lets me fax , signed update all at once I made the deadline without leaving my home ... I sent this out to many of my friends we all need a choice to fax and complete forms ASAP

Gets the job done! Amazing, all sorts of adjustments can be made (Text, highlight, signature, templates etc). User friendly and a simple enough design. Cheaper too! My only issue is internet connection, perhaps if it was available offline (I'm not sure if that's a feature or not), it would honestly replace Adobe Acrobat all together.

So far this program is a game changer So far this program is a game changer. I wish it was cheaper (a discount for teachers on a year subscription would be wonderful!) but I like what I am seeing so far ;)

To prevent printing of a PDF file, uncheck the “Allow the document to be printed” option. You must always enter a master password when security options are enabled or when a user password is set.
It is not the printer who make it, it is Google Chrome which you are using (please correct me if I'm wrong ). From the printing dialog of Chrome click the Change button and change from Save as PDF to your printer, then it should print instead of saving the file.
Here are two solutions: From the menu bar, click Edit Preferences, select Documents, go to the Save Settings section and uncheck Save As optimizes for Fast Web View.
