What our customers say about pdfFiller

See for yourself by reading reviews on the most popular resources:
The form 1096 is not current in the video shown - it shows 2012 and the number 7 is different for 2016, so would like an explanation of what NEC means. Thought I could use this for 1099 and also 1096 but still need to use IRs forms to send them, so dissapointing. Wondering what I will use this service for - does it allow ALL pdf files that I receive to be opened and edited? If so, then useful. Otherwise, probably short lived for me.Thx

Much better than last year. But the pages slide badly -- need one page at a time to finish rather than slipping from page to page as I try to work on just one.

What do you like best?
It is 100% easier than anything else I have ever used to manipulate and work within pdf files. Please contact me if you would like a reference. I have told everyone about it and how great the site is for true productivity.
What do you dislike?
It is a very robust platform that could use a few more page editing tools - what about cut and paste to move a line of text left or right?
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely get it. It is the best money spent for my productivity. Per the question above, I am now going to check out and see if this integrates with other software!!
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
I work on government contracts which require pages and pages filled out. I import them all into pdffiller and work right from there.

It has been pretty intuitive. Had some issues with a long 70+ page doc at about page 50 it was going blank. Help chat sorted me out telling me how to delete cache which sorted this.

What do you like best? Not only is the actual program extremely easy to use, but when i did happen to need support, the guy, Ray, I was connected to was happy to fulfill my every request and in less than 5 minutes had me back to my project. And my issue was requesting my already processed payment for a whole year subscription be returned and only run for a month. I was prepared to argue and be given every excuse out there just to be let go with a bad taste in my mouth and not helped. Boy was I wrong! Ray was super helpful and more than happy to process my request. I was pleasantly surprised. You just don't find customer service reps like this anymore and it's a shame. I was extremely pleased!!! What do you dislike? I don't like that in the Google search it claims to be a free PDF editor but when you get finished with whatever you are working on, mine was 48 pages, before you can save or print the document you are asked to purchase a 1-year subscription. Recommendations to others considering the product: The program is easy to use, affordable, and customer support is top-notch. What more could you ask for?? What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? I used pdfFiller to edit divorce papers I downloaded from the court clerk's website in another city in my state. PdfFiller allowed me to be able to draw up my own divorce papers instead of paying an attorney more than $500 to do it for me. Customer Service Representative, RAY, is a HUGE benefit I have realized.

User friendly The interface is fairly easy to use, and there's a wide range of things to do with your document once your are finished. It's a bit pricey, but for the limited things I've needed so far, PDFFiller has been able to deliver.

*** ****** is literally the best *** Filling *** out there. ******. All the functionalities of *** filler are remarkable and make doing business a complete breeze. Unfortunately the Platform I use daily - is cheaper however - isnt as functional as *** filler. So I tried completing my need with them as I have used them in the past. So I signed up for the trial - attempted my documents - I failed; closed the window and forgot about the subscription. This morning I woke up and saw the charge, I couldnt remember what Email I even signed up with. I emailed *** ****** at 5 am and got an immediate response with an agent ready to help. They asked easy questions and were able to locate my account and issue an immediate refund. I dont think there are words to express how incredible and unmatched that level of customer service is. Thank you *** ******
