Pros:

The customer service team saw that I had no further use, and were reasonable and generous, offering to give me a full refund when I couldn't really afford the full version.

Cons:

IT's horrible, you can't download your pages without providing personal data - so you can't actually assess the product. The front end is clumsy and cumbersome.

PdfFiller is My Go-To Editing Program, and Has Been for Years!

5.0 last month New

Comments: Have used the program for years now on a variety of personal and business documents.

Pros:

Whatever the source or type of document, I always manage to upload it digitally to pdfFiller for easy correction or updating. This tool is superior to the editing capabilities in various source programs - faster, easier, and very flexible.

Cons:

It's always regrettable to have to delay what you're working on to use a separate program like pdfFiller, but ultimately I've found it to be a timesaver and a more reliable method to edit docs.

Pros:

The ease of using the program and the storage component.

Pros:

Easily being able to fill out and sign forms

The text often doesn't sit on the line and needs to be moved. Also, if using a document multiple times, the text can erase parts of the line under it

Great app with minor adjustments

3.0 4 months ago

Comments: Overall it is a great app that could use some adjustments to make an incredible app

Pros:

It is easy to use! The app has so many tools you can utilize to make an pdf document. It as well converts other formats to pdf

Cons:

I do not like the design layout. It is to scrunched together making it hard to see and creates more frustration when meeting a deadline.

The Most User Friendly PDF Editor Out There

5.0 last year

Comments: We're very happy with the service we get from pdffiller. Our work involves a lot of documentation which most of the time needs scanning or editing or merging and whatnot, so we needed something that would help us do those things without causing issues or errors where we'd lose certain its of the document etc. And pdffiller has definitely delivered in that regard. Oter than the performance, it's also priced well and syncs well with other tools. Very handy tool to have for our business.

Pros:

The editor itself works almost flawlessly. I like the secondary features by pdffiller as well but our biggest praise is definitely for how smooth it works. It's fast, doesn't lag, rarely misaligns, and has quite a few handy features like the format converter. We work with a lot of pdf docs so it was a breath o fresh air to have it work so well compared to the other tools we evaluated.

Cons:

The forms feature needs to be develope din my opinion. It doesn't have a lot of the advanced field customization options that other form builders have.

By far the best and easiest to use PDF editor out there

5.0 last year

Comments: I love using Pdffiller to edit our PDF documents. It was very frustrating to use Adobe, especially when we had a lot of documents to scan onto the cloud, but since switching over to Pdffiller, we've been able to get everything done much more quickly and with less issues.

Pros:

I just love the interface. Compared to Adobe, it's so much easier to navigate and there are much fewer alignment/placement issues. It makes it a lot faster and headache-free for us to onboard new hires with it. The e-sign feature is also a big plus.

Cons:

The form builder feature feels a bit incomplete. We gave it a shot to see if we could switch from our form builder, but it seems to be lacking a lot of the advanced form field options that other builders have.

A great option vs Adobe

5.0 7 months ago

Pros:

Pricing, ease of use, a good alternative against Adobe's pricing tiers.

Cons:

Doesn't have the full range of Adobe, but doesn't carry the price tag either

Convenient

5.0 last year

Comments: With PDF filler, I can complete a lot of tasks faster and more effectively. I appreciate the advantages of having several options for completing the project, sending it for signatures, printing, emailing, saving, etc., as well as cloud storage options and compatibility with widely used file formats like Microsoft Office and Adobe Acrobat. Numerous capabilities are available with the software, including legally binding digital signatures, infinite storage, and customized templates. Pdf Filler is the perfect tool for companies and people who require a rapid and effective digital document management procedure because of its user-friendly design.

Pros:

For the past five years, I have been using PDF filler. It's incredibly easy to import and interact with documents while on the road because to the excellent editing options that are provided. These include filling out forms, altering text, adding comments, and signing papers. Drag and drop and the ability to import and export data to and from cloud-based sources. E-signature is another fantastic perk that practically all users enjoy. When this was completed electronically, the traditional method of writing an email address was substituted with an electronic signature. Following their upload to this program, you can quickly click to choose the original, saved sign in electronic format.

Cons:

I have no complaints regarding Pdf filler. There are still electronic signature forms available for people who would rather not pay for the subscription.

Say Goodbye to Repetitious Form Creation.

5.0 6 months ago

Comments: PDFfiller is a great way to save time on tasks that are infamously tedious. You will never look at paperwork the same way!

Pros:

PDFfiller is a versatile online tool for creating electronic forms, featuring a robust PDF editor and a large library of fillable documents. It includes basic editing capabilities like typing, erasing, and redacting, along with unique options for adding graphics and videos. The software also excels in auto-filling forms with data from sources like Excel. I found it easy to merge documents and highlight areas for signatures without starting from scratch, as well as password-protect and watermark sensitive information. This app has significantly streamlined my workflow and saved me a lot of time.

Cons:

Some edits that I made to a proposal didnt save correctly.

Simplicity at its best!

5.0 7 months ago

Comments: I’ve been using this for multiple years now, and I’ve never even thought about using a different method. I used docusign in the past, but the pdf filler is MUCH simpler! I mean, who wouldn’t want to fill out documents with just the two of a button? Rather than typing or writing out each signature or response!?

Pros:

The ease of use, the fact that I can have my employees sent a folder with each document that needs signed, then they can electronically sign and send back to me within minutes!

Cons:

I don’t dislike anything. It’s simple, it’s fast, and it’s convenient!
