What do you like best?
I like the idea that I can edit a PDF document that is not machine fillable. I have been using this program for several years now in personal and not for profit business.
What do you dislike?
This is not the most user friendly program to use. It lacks a search field or help section to answer questions as how to do something I do not know how to do. It would be nice to be able to save a document as you are finishing instead of having to go back and rename a document. This is the case when I am using a master form that gets updated each month. I work on my laptop and the print screen has the print button to low. I see a sliver of the print button, that if I mess around with it for a while, I can eventually click on it. I can't be the only person with this problem. It would be helpful if the print screen could open a little higher on the screen, reduce some of the preface before the print button or have the print button on the top of the form. I also get frustrated with getting an actual signature in the system. There are no clear instructions on how to do that. It took me hours and hours to get my signature as part of the program. It would be nice to be able to scan a signature into the program. I have used Adobe DC with work in the past and I find it is a superior product, but not worth the cost with the volume of paperwork I need to do. Also a typical example of issues I have with PDFiller is the instruction to take a screen shot of my log in page. I have no idea of how to do that so I attached a PDF master document I use pdfiller to complete each month.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Don't expect to see the most beautiful documents as far as how things line up, but it is certainly a way to complete PDF forms typed instead of hand written,
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
As I stated above I use PDF filler with forms that are not fillable. I have used them to complete tax returns when a fillable form is not available. I have used them to sign a document instead of having to print, sign and rescan the document before sending it back to the originator. I have not used it to obtain other peoples signature

Create, edit or convert your pdf files.
Occasionally I have had to extract some images of pdf files, for which this program has helped me and pleasantly surprised, since the process is very fast and the conversion of the file to images is quite fast and of good quality. Also in some moments I had to create some PDFs myself from photographs or text files, I have also in this process pdffil has been very useful, showing a very good performance and rapids
1.- easy to use. It does not require special knowledge.
2.- process of converting from and to pdf is quite fast.
3.- The results are quite good.
3.- create pdf from word, jpeg, excel or ppt files.
4.- export your pdf files to word, excel or jpg.
5.- You can rotate, cut, join, or create watermarks in your pdf.
6.- You can use it for free (although it has a limit of use per day)
7.- The work environment is simple, but effective.
1.- Sometimes, but due to page saturation problems it becomes a bit slow.
2.- You require constant internet connection so if you do not have access you can not use the online program.
Me gustó mucho, lo utilice para editar un pdf y funciona muy bien, muy rápido lo pude hacer.
En celular se me dificulta un poco pero es solo de acostumbrarme
I love the features of the pdfFiller, however, I gave it a 4 rating because you couldn't precisely place the fillable icon EXACTLY where you wanted, like you can in Canva. I had to go back and correct my Canva templates to accommodate the PRECISE application. (They were circular designs, not traditional checkboxes.) If I had this option, I would have given it 5 stars.
However, when I do place my fillable icon in the precise spot on the first "checkbox" it does keep all the other checkboxes in a straight line down the document, and then on the next page it can be re-adjusted again.
So far, I am very happy with the pdfFiller and its features. I have plenty more applications to use it with in the future. SO-- I would give the program a 4.5.
Katrina was quick to begin the chat
Katrina was quick to begin the chat. She immediately understood the problem and provided quick and detailed steps to resolve the issue. Overall friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. A very good chat experience.
Glad to have it
Glad to have it. Wished i didn't have to reset with every entry. It should assume you want the same font until you tell the program to change. Gets tedious to change for every number on the page.
