What our customers say about pdfFiller
See for yourself by reading reviews on the most popular resources:
it is good but finding documents is difficult, and the UI is a little bit hard to use at first. Double clicking on a document should open it, but it doesn't.

É a primeira vez que estou aqui preciso deste documento para publicar o meu e-book. Ainda tenho muito que aprender sobre as ferramentas de navegação. Afinal estou aprendendo. Obrigada.

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.

I had trouble logging in to my account
I had trouble logging in to my account. It was a small issue but I sent a text message and got a reply soon after. The Customer Service at pdffiller is very responsive. I have been a customer (for creating insurance forms for my medical practice) for three years and it is an excellent service. It is user-friendly and intuitive and simple to use. I highly recommend pdffiller.

It is cumbersome to upload every document, fill it out, then download it. I wish there was a free program that let you fill out and sign pdf documents directly

Is sending documents over email secure?
Here's the crucial point: typical email encryption services don't actually encrypt your attachments—so they might not be as safe as you think. Without file-specific protection, tax documents, business spreadsheets and even personal photos can be stolen if your message is hijacked on the way to its destination.
Are PDFs in emails safe?
Yes, they can. Because PDFs are one of the most universally used file types, hackers and bad actors can find ways to use these normally harmless files — just like dot-com files, JPGs, Gmail, and Bitcoin — to create security threats via malicious code.
How can I Encrypt a PDF for free?
In Preview, open the PDF file you want to encrypt. Select “File” and then “Export.” Click “Encrypt,” select a password, and then retype it to verify. Click “Save.”
How do I Encrypt a PDF in Outlook?
Encrypt All Outgoing Messages In Outlook, go to File tab and click on Option. Select the Trust Center >> Trust Center Settings. Now, under Encrypted email, check the Encrypt contents and attachments for outgoing messages option. Now, every message you send will be in encrypted form along with attachments.
Is sending a PDF via email secure?
Using PDF DRM to create a secure PDF attachment is the safest way to send a PDF securely by email. This is because you can stop unauthorized users from viewing the PDF, prevent additional distribution AND control how it can be used.
What is the safest way to send documents by email?
The safest way to send a document via email is by using encryption. This can be done by encrypting individual emails as well as email attachments. However, an easier way is to use electronic signature software, such as Signaturely.
