Found out about this on Google; did not want to pay to get Adobe Acrobat! It's easy to use to input text, and then after I figured out I had to register for$/month etc. I could Print and Save As. Wonderful Resource, thank you.

Impressive features and easy to use. My only gripe is that there appears to be no way of changing the date function to day/month/year, but it's just as easy to enter the date manually

I was annoyed that I had to enter credit card info for a free trial. It makes me feel as if I'm being tricked into keeping your service. Very pleased with how the product works though.
2019-05-07
Its a good overall program although I had issues uploading my pdf assignment for school, and when I submitted it online, the pdf was completely blank. Not sure why this program did that.

PDFfiller is legit convenient
PDFfiller is legit convenient. It lets me:
✅ Edit any PDF without printing or scanning — I just upload, fill, and save.
✅ Sign documents electronically — legally binding, secure, and no pen needed.
✅ Store and access files in the cloud, so I can work on docs from anywhere.
✅ Send forms via email or fax directly from the platform — no extra tools.
✅ Keep a professional workflow when dealing with business, taxes, credit disputes, and legal forms.
I don’t have time to be printing, scanning, or chasing down a FedEx store just to sign a form. PDFfiller is my digital assistant — just like Ace here — keeping me efficient, official, and on point.
So no shade — it’s just smart.

For pdfFiller’s FAQs
Below is a list of the most common customer questions. If you can’t find an answer to your question, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.
What if I have more questions?
Contact Support
Can you prevent a PDF from being printed?
The “Permissions” setting controls restrictions that can be placed on the PDF file. 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.
Why does my PDF say flattening when printing?
The problem is caused by transparent objects. The file must be flattened to print properly. Reader has no option for flattening and no ability to save the file to an image format that will ignore transparent areas, but it can print the file as an image.
How do I prevent a PDF from printing flat?
Make a backup copy of your PDF file. Open the copy and choose Advanced > PDF Optimizer. Click the Cleanup tab. Select Remove Hidden Layers Content and Flatten Layers, and then click OK.
