What our customers say about pdfFiller
See for yourself by reading reviews on the most popular resources:
Liking it so far. But when I'm using the eraser, line, or other tool, it automatically changes back to text add mode after saving the change I've made rather than staying with the eraser, line drawer, etc. If you did it this way b/c more users keep erasing, adding lines, highlights, etc when they intend to make only one change and start typing then nevermind. I would rather it stay with the eraser, highlighter, etc. and I'll switch back to adding text when I'm ready to do so. Hope that helps.

I didn't know that PDFfiller would charge me a few after a lengthy form that I had to fill, I paid the fee and left a comment about the experience. I promptly heard back from a representative who made things right without me asking for anything. Customer service at its best!

Just now starting to use it for filling out ODAFF's and so far it is great. I would however like to be able to make templates in the personal cost bracket.

What do you like best?
I have been using PDFfiler for more than 4 years. It makes my pdf documents look professional. There is no longer a need to print a doc, fill it in with pen, scan, and send. PDFfiler reduces the amount of steps I have to take to get the job done. It helps to also have everything saved on the My Docs page. I can find the same tax documents I need month after month. PDFfiler also reduces the amount of paper needed to generate a document. I probably use PDFfiler every day.
What do you dislike?
I would like to be able to turn off the assisted pop-ups. They can obstruct the box I want to enter text.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Simple to use. Makes your docs look professional and neat. Easy to manipulate a doc that is incorrect.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
I fill out every form on PDFfiler. It's automatic to me. In addition, when I am unable to edit a Word doc or other pdf, I know I can upload it to PDFfiler and get the job done right away.

A great move for my professional career, being able to fill out and sign forms digitally as a self-employed musician and house painter who has to do all the clerical work themselves is a huge advantage. Thank you for this great service.

PdfFiller has been an extremely convenient tool and service for me and my business. I basically have admin on demand without all the extra machinery of fax, printers, Scanners, etc. I can do it all from my device. I am happy to have found this service.

Successful Chat Support
Kara helped me locate a document that I could not find after downloading it. What a relief!
I was extremely worried because personal information was on the document. Through the chat support feature, Kara guided me in locating the document in my account (which I didn't know I had), moving it to the Trash, and then permanently deleting it.

How often does one get 5 star support?
How often does one get 5 star support?
Unfortunately the answer is not often at all.
But today was different.
I got 5 Star Customer Support from Kara on Team PDFFiller.
More importantly Kara was patient and guided me to work through the problem with my login issue.
Success all the way around.
Happy customer is a loyal customer.
Thank you Kara.
