What our customers say about pdfFiller

See for yourself by reading reviews on the most popular resources:
To Whom It May Concern, I need to let you know that I jumped the gun on submitting my prior severely bad review. Knoll G ended up figuring out the issue and assisted greatly in resolving it. She had much more patience than I had as I had been trying to figure out where everything had been changed to from when I used your site the year before. After 4 hours of much frustration, Knoll G saved the day. I would like to ask for you to somewhat disregard my initial review. I only say somewhat because I feel that the site had such a huge change from last year's "easy to use" formatting. I never needed to use support help. That said, I would like to praise Knoll G. She never gave up even when I did. Huge THANK YOU for not giving up Knoll! You're great and I hope you get some sort of reward for going above and beyond. I would also like to add a technical note...I don't know how everything is viewed on the companies side, but it was very difficult to work with support in terms of the chat box. Every time Knoll G gave me a direction to go and I went (which means the screen changed), I would lose the chat box and had to wait for Knoll G to type and send me something before the box would reappear and then I could respond. It only added to my then current frustration so your site coders might want to look into that.

I like the ease of use. I do think the help system needs and upgrade. Should have a searchable index. It is hard to find topics. I am an experienced software guy and just want to find out how to do thinks.

It would be easy and helpful to implement: A tool which allows you to pick the colour you want (and be able to use that colour to erase, paint and write). A auto text-detector and erase

I'm in my second year of subscribing to PDF Filler. I use it for filling all my online forms, related to legal documents and other forms related to my business. I like it, because I can use it anywhere, and I am not tied to one computer, in order to access it.

Manage PDF Documents and Forms My overall experience with pdfFiller is really perfect because I have created a lot of PDF documents for my clients using pdfFiller. I have found this platform really amazing for my document needs. pdfFiller is an incredibly professional platform that allows you to create, edit, and manage PDF documents. You can transfer your static PDFs into interactive documents. You can convert and edit documents according to your requirements. The features and options of this platform are really easy to understand and use, so anyone can edit the documents easily. I personally never faced any issue on this platform, for me, pdfFiller is perfect without any kind of cons.

It's very satisfying. Extremely easy to use and edit files! I would definitely recommend this website to anybody that is in need of a Great Editing tool provided by PdfFiller. Great job on this website and I will highly support it.

What do you like best? I personally like using PdfFiller over other programs like Adobe to edit my documents because the site is more user friendly. I can do everything I need to quickly and efficiently. What do you dislike? I wish there was an option to combine documents. You can delete pages but not upload new ones. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? I used to use Docusign to add digital signatures but now I used pdfFiller instead. It's great for adding quick signatures on internal documents without the waste of printing and hand signing forms as I did prior.

Great service. I thought my subscription had expired but the tech support hooked me back up in a jiffy! I prefer to use PDFfiller program rather than the Acrobat Reader DC program. I will always renew my subscription in the future.

Annotate PDFs Online

Sometimes, when completing a PDF form we don’t know the exact answer to a particular question or need feedback from the document recipient. In situations like this, you can add comments to PDF documents online using very simple tools. pdfFiller's simple but powerful document editor allows you to add comments anywhere in the document. In the past, you probably had to print the form and write your comments on the margins of the paper copy. Depending on your handwriting, the form might not have been very tidy and pleasant to look at. Now there is a far easier way to add comments to a PDF online and remove them when they are no longer needed. You can simply use pdfFiller’s editor to add comments to your PDF documents! To get started, you can upload a form to your account or open a document that’s already there. There are two ways to add your comments to a PDF document: text boxes and sticky notes.
