What our customers say about pdfFiller
See for yourself by reading reviews on the most popular resources:
What do you like best?
I can format any of the documents I need signed into pdffiller. I really like that I can see if someone has opened a document without completing it so I know to follow up with them to see if I can answer questions. I work for a virtual company so this service has been very beneficial to us (and makes me look good for finding it!)
What do you dislike?
I wish I could send more than one document in one email to a particular contact.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
I work in HR so I use it for onboarding: signing new contracts, responsibility agreements, etc. It makes it easier to track everyone's progress and create a digital contractor file

Great customer service
Great customer service, such a hard thing to come across. Easy access to your cloud uploaded documents from any device. The only thing limiting the 5 star is the relatively clunky interface. Still would use again for secure pdf development.

Great product
PDF Filler is easy to use and has been of great use to my company.
Some of the PDFs are difficult to use. I have been able to overcome any issues.

This application saves me significant amounts of valuable time in the clinic
The most desirable feature of this application is the time that it saves on recurrent clinical and axillary paperwork for my clients
The most tedious aspect is searching for past documents which dont seem to search by just part of the title

Efficient service
I had great service and very efficient. I was asking for a refund ,which I thought I wouldn't get,to my surprise Pdf filler has given me the refund and it should be in my account within a few days. The sales assistant who I was emailing is named Phoebe. Phoebe made the whole process a breeze and was very polite.
Thank you Pdffiller. I appreciate it.

Great Tool!
This service has helped me fill out many online forms that were sent in the form of a PDF, and has made things so much easier! 100% love this tool.
2022-08-02
Your product is excellent and if you could scrap the 30 days free trial and create a subscription for 1 week or 2 weeks access for under 2pounds and also give referral bonuses, I think it would be profitable for you.

How do I keep a signature from being copied from a PDF?
Open Your PDF. Launch PDF element on your computer. Click the “Open files” button on the Home window.
Protect PDF from Copying and Editing. Go to the “Protect” tab, then click the “Set Password” button. Then select the “Permission Password” option.
How do I stop my signature from being copied?
The only way to stop your signature from potentially being misused is to not include your signature in the document. This isn't as flippant a suggestion as it sounds. For instance, you might use a “modified” signature in the document, such as only your first name instead of your full signature.
