What our customers say about pdfFiller

See for yourself by reading reviews on the most popular resources:
This was a great site to get my office free from all papers. When we need a document we just upload it out of our computer or one of our drives and fill the form. It is literally that easy and I am loving it.

Works as you would expect. No flaws, other than I would like to see a way to make the 'circle' option larger for when initials are needed. Great options here.

Had a few difficulties with the process, but was able to sort it out after a little experimentation. I would like the ability to vary the size of signatures. I also tried to change the date format and set a new default but it didn't seem to work. Overall, I was ok with the program but I really didn't find it fitted my purposes.

What do you like best?
I am able to create and update PDF files easily. The newer/updated features are wonderful. (ie. font colors and actual fonts)
What do you dislike?
Haven't had any issues that I can think of
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If your company handles PDF files on a regular day to day like mine this is a must-have. From removing or just moving pages to changing/adding the text. I use it daily and haven't found another product that compares. Even Adobe Acrobat doesn't compare.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
I can update items that have been delivered to me in a PDF format that I would have issues with normally.

Easy to Use PDF Filler It's very easy to upload documents and complete the forms. We use it for all of our documents. I sometimes have trouble with my signature loading. My printed signature always loads but my written one does not always load. I'm not sure what causes the signature failure but it is sometimes a problem.

easy to use and there are a lot of options to have... easy to use and there are a lot of options to have things mailed, emailed, faxed, etc right with a click of a button and entering information. It does have a fee for this BUT it is SUPER convenient so honestly its a very small price to pay to not have to worry about all the extra work i would have to do myself.

You can reduce your file size by saving your spreadsheet as a binary workbook (.xslb) instead of the default format (.xslx). The default format is XML based, which is important if you're using your data with third-party programs because XML is an open standard.
The 5 most common reasons for Excel files getting too large are: PICTURES: If your spreadsheet contains lots of pictures, or some very large images. EXCESS FORMATTING: Excel sheets can contain millions of cells - and if you have formatting applied to them even without any data it can make truly massive Excel files.
With your file open in your Microsoft Office application, select the picture or pictures that you want to compress. Under Picture Tools, on the Format tab, in the Adjust group, click Compress Pictures.
Compress the file This can be done by right-clicking the Excel file and choosing “Compressed (zipped) folder” under the “Send to” tab.
