Need Email Ease
I would prefer to have the email document link a little easier to navigate. Maybe a big button with 2 steps to it so it isn’t accidentally sent?

Difficult to naviagte
Frustrating... but it may work better on a computer rather than an ipad.
I like that you can create password protected files and templates to sign if there's is sensitive information needing to be shared.
The overall function seem to be helpful, but difficult to use on an ipad for sure! I found it difficult to attempt to build a template as you cannot move the fields you create once you place them. It can make for a sloppy look in your template.

The experience was good, glad to be able to complete a 'Regie du logement' lease online and to maintain our paperless way of working. The text box takes more time than I'd like to align.

Very useful program and easy to use
I found pdfFiller online to work with my Chrome browser for work-related documents. I have found it easy to use right away and so far it seems to handle all I need it for.

I had an issue and emailed the company and not only did 2 different people respond immediately they resolved my issue within a few hours of me sending the email. I’ve never seen that quick of a response before. Very impressive.

Just getting to know how to use it, but it is exactly what I needed to make my documents sent to clients easier for them to fill out and quickly return to me.

Works Perfectly!
I don't typically need a lot of editing, but what I do need this service does perfectly. No guessing about what you need to do like with some other apps, and although I do sort of enjoy the uncertainty of wondering whether things will actually edit or not pdfFiller has definitely helped me be more productive.
2020-10-01
Awesome customer service!
Received a prompt and courteous reply to my query. The customer service you provide has been exceptional, right from the onset. I will not hesitate to call upon your services again in the future. Many thanks and keep up the awesome work!
