pdfFiller scores top ratings on review platforms

I am very pleased with how easy it is to create impressive PDFs. PDFfiller offers all of the features that Adobe offers with acrobat - for about 1/2 the price. The support team responded immediately when I had a problem (on a Sun night, I believe!) and the situation was resolved there and then. Impressive.

I had to buy it as a last minute resort and it was helpful, but I probably need to spend more time learning it before I critique its functionality and/or lack thereof.

I needed to find a template that I could use for Certified Payrolls for a small job we are working on. PDFfiller has helped me meet my deadlines. It also continues to help me as we work on this project by duplicating my existing Certified Payroll Form and updating it week by week so I do not have to retype information again. It lets me cut, copy, and paste just like I was working on a Word document; this feature saves me a lot of time.

This is the only app I can erase and… This is the only app I can erase and fill-in easily so I love it. However, the signing function is glitchy so I use Docu or Adobe sign for that. Still, soooo worth it b/c of the Erase and Fill features.

Easy to use and very convenient to have for filling out forms and other documents that I would normally need to print out before filling in my information. I really enjoy the ease of this tool.
