What our customers say about pdfFiller

See for yourself by reading reviews on the most popular resources:
The complaint has a First Count, Second Count, Third Count and Fourth Count. The form did not allow editing of the formatting to insert space for identifying the "Count" being addressed. Otherwise, the form was fine.

PDFfiller is a very helpful tool. However, I do feel there are aspects that could be improved. For example, it would be useful to be able to fill in ovals.

I really like it. I have not read all of the instructions, but have used it on several forms. Would like to know how to print a form, without all of the background being printed. I mean, I upload a form. Fill it in and then try to print to the form that I have. It prints everything, when I just want to print what I filled in. For instance, had a problem with my QuickBooks. Wanted to print a check, quickly. Thought I will just upload a check, fill it in and print in on my check. It wanted to print everything. Of course, the bank will not take that, because if it just isn't quite right, it can look altered. Is there a way to do it? Of course, as you know everyone just wants to start working and not read the instructions. Thank you

I had a little issue trying to find out how to print the form. Also, the little movable box that kept showing me where to check got in the way of reading the document. I X'ed it out most of the time so I could read the instructions.

Hello, My only complaint would be opening a previous filled in UB92 form. Otherwise, I find PDFfiller a great way of quickly taking care of business... Thankls!

When filling out 1099-misc form, it would be beneficial for the information on the first page be copied throughout the other copies, as they are the same.

Exceeded expectations Exceeded expectations! The product was easy to use and customer service is top-notch. I had nothing short of a pleasant experience.

What do you like best? I enjoy the ease with uploading and editing files. As well as, the ability to change file types or combine documents. What do you dislike? The formatting can be time consuming and is hard to keep text consistent with original document. Recommendations to others considering the product: I would consider what you need it for and the price. It serves a good use for pdf editing and file management. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? It has simplified my study resources by allowing me to combine relevant documents.
