Really good experience! I used it for UK Law Society forms relating to the sale of my property. The forms are excellently produced and easy to complete and save. The functionality is REALLY good!

My experience with PDFfiller has been mostly smooth. It has beneficial features I haven't found with other PDF editors. There are a couple of things that I haven't been able to do but I'm not sure if it's not an option or I just don't know how to do them.

PdfFiller ou rien Très bonne expérience. Au début j'avais un peu de mal mais tout est venu très vite. Je l'utilise essentiellement pour ma paperasse professionnelle avec les administrations lorsque j'ai besoin de signer.Non seulement on fait des économies de papier mais en plus si on n'a pas d'imprimante ou qu'on se trouve sur le mobile ou la tablette on peut utiliser cette application. C'est top ! Pas besoin d'avoir un logiciel qui prend de la place dans l'ordinateur ou autre. Pas de risque de chopper un virus en téléchargeant !Facilité d'utilisation hors normes ! Je ne vois aucun point faible pour le moment. Si c'est le cas j'en ferai part.

Best and complete tool to edit PDF documents. Editing PDF files is so simple and easy with PDF Filler like using a Doc editor. I use it everytime to edit dates and sign documents, just sign on my device with my finger so every signature is different. They could add a tool to increase the quality or resolution of scanned PDF files.

Being a small business Being a small business, it was so delightful to be able to find and fill 1099s for my employees and not have to pay money up front. Thank you pdfFiller!

Excellent tools Excellent tools. I tried it today on one form on free trial. I won't carry on with the subscription because I find the prices really high and I rarely need this type of service. Also, I don't like the deceiving ways of this business where they make you believe it's all free with no commitments until after you've spent the time to edit the document. When you try to download or print etc that's when you are stopped and asked to choose a subscription and give your bank details.

PDFfiller has been relatively easy to use and been an important tool for the conversion of files to PDF for me, during this time of working from home during the pandemic of Covid-19
