Owner Arts and Crafts Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A Software For All PDF Needs" February 24, 2026 5.0 It is useful for creating PDF documents, but mostly to help me edit the ebooks I create. Many times I need to edit them or add information. Because the software is stable is offers great editing without changing the formatting or messing up the spaces where words go. I've had this problem with other such softwares, but not with pdfFiller. Pros I have used it to create and edit PDF documents and to create forms. I also use it to convert PDF documents to Word. It was easier to use than other similar software. It was easy to use and has good customer support. With an active subscription files can be kept in the cloud until a user deletes them. It is also a could source for document signing. I have never had bugs or difficult issues with the software, it appears to be a sturdy platform. Cons It does not have a free version. For people who don't use it on a regular basis, they will have to pay for a subscription they sometimes don't use. Alternatives considered [PDF Suite](https://www.capterra.com/p/239713/PDF-Suite/) Reason for choosing pdfFiller I only use PDF Suite to create PDF Files from my computer, not online. Switched from [Canva](https://www.capterra.com/p/168956/Canva/) Canva is not as easy to use for my needs. Review Source BT Bryan T. President and CEO Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "pdfFiller is a winner for easy and simple ways to edit PDF documents. " October 31, 2024 5.0 Overall, I am extremely satisfied with pdfFiller once I learned to navigate my way around the various ways it can be used to edit PDFs. I just started my 3rd year of using pdfFiller and plan to continue in the future. Pros I use pdfFiller on a daily basis for my health coaching business. I keep track of health records, create invoices, create lab orders, and edit previously written PDFs using the seamless interaction with pdfFiller. Cons I have rarely found what I am looking for in the pdfFiller library. Many of them have company logos on the form that cannot be removed so they do not apply to what I want to use them for in my business. My suggestion to pdfFiller is to remove identifying logos from the forms in the library so they could be edited to work with another business. Alternatives considered [Adobe Acrobat Reader](https://www.capterra.com/p/170833/Acrobat-Reader-DC/) Reason for choosing pdfFiller Price was a motivating factor and once I used it on a trial basis, I found pdfFiller reasonably easy to navigate and learn. Review Source DM Don M. Loan Officer Financial Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "NOT IMPRESSED!!!!!" February 10, 2026 2.0 It works O.K. but the functionality for the money could be found in a lot of other online signature programs. I will be researching other programs, finish my subscription and make sure to use another company that is not as deceptive as pdfFiller has turned out to be. I should have expected crap like this being the company appears to be based out of Massachusetts and the support is overseas. Pros The product worked O.K but there are better programs I wish I had of gone with instead. Customer service was adequate but I could have found a better subscription cheaper. Cons The way I was tricked into purchasing the their program in the first place from Sign Now then extorted into upgrading to Premium when I needed the Certificate. Review Source Response from airSlate February 17, 2026 Don hi! Could you please provide more details re what's happened when switching between the plans? Or please let us know the ticket number of your case if you discussed this with our Support agents. We have several options for both monthly and annual plans. In integration with signNow and as a standalone. We are confident we can find something to fit your use case perfectly. If you are not yet sure where exactly you are switching, we actually strongly recommend you do not cancel your subscription before testing the alternatives. We have people switching back all the time (from the most famous solutions that we prefer not to name here but we are sure you know them well), and restoring the initial account, after some time, is not that easy, to be honest. Regarding our Support Team: we have team mates working in multiple locations across the globe to cover all possible time zones. This guarantees our Support is really online 24/7, weekends and holidays included. AW Andrew W.

April 6, 2026 5.0 My overall experience with pdfFiller has been smooth/easy to use and also easy to implement in efficient business dealings! Pros The best thing I love about pdfFiller would be the automated “prefill” function it has that makes document signing a thousand times more efficient and user friendly! Cons The least I like about pdfFiller would only be the access the signer has in editing capabilities. Essentially not the most important aspect but would still be nice just in case. Review Source MG MARCIA G. CPA, Sole Proprietor Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "pdfFiller is part of my office staff" October 26, 2024 5.0 I have been using pdfFiller for so long now, I can't even remember when and how I got started with it. I needed something to edit pdf documents, and I guess the price was right. Since then, I have used it for both professional and personal tasks, and now I would be lost without it. Pros I can use it as a fax, a secure email, document signature, and form filler as well as editing pdf documents. The security really comes in handy, because email is notoriously unprotected unless you do some complex encrypting. This email is simple to use. Cons I don't know if paying a premium price would have helped, but I found it limiting when I tried to combine more than five pages at a time--I had to do i.t in batches Alternatives considered [PDF Professional](https://www.capterra.com/p/182912/PDF-Professional/) Reason for choosing pdfFiller Price was lower for pdfFiller and I didn't need such a heavy program.

October 31, 2024 5.0 I have used this app for 5 years and will continue to for years to come- well worth paying for! Pros I love that I can sign and return documents, and fax things as well. I save everything to my app as well as my iCloud- it’s very convenient for a business that’s done on the road. Cons I don’t really have any complaints, everything I have needed has been available. Alternatives considered [Adobe Acrobat Reader](https://www.capterra.com/p/170833/Acrobat-Reader-DC/) Reason for choosing pdfFiller I feel this one met my needs a lot more than Adobe would have. Review Source RS Rachel S. Virtual Assistant E-Learning Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Online PDF editor that will save you time and allow you to edit PDFs the way you need." April 9, 2025 5.0 Great online platform for editing PDF's giving you many options to edit PDF's in any way you need. I've always found it simple to use and user friendly. Pros I love that PDF filler is an online option and I don't have to download an app or pay for a full PDF editor Cons I don't like that you have to put in your credit card details even for a free trial Switched from [Adobe Acrobat Reader](https://www.capterra.com/p/170833/Acrobat-Reader-DC/) I like being able to use an online platform and not have to download a program onto my computer Review Source LK Laurie K. VP Logistics Security and Investigations Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great alternative to Adobe." October 28, 2024 5.0 I've been using this program for...maybe four years now and it does exactly what I need. Pros Economical way of editing and altering .pdf files. Cons I don't have any issues with pdfFiller. It exceeds my expectations - I can even get docs notarized using this program! Now...if I only knew how I could be one of those notaries, that would be helpful. Switched from [Adobe Acrobat Reader](https://www.capterra.com/p/170833/Acrobat-Reader-DC/) More cost efficient, and easier to use pdfFiller. Review Source RR Russell R. Producer Motion Pictures and Film Used the software for: 2+ years ### "PDFfiller works very well, but could benefit from some detail improvements" October 29, 2024 4.0 I find the “customize message” a little frustrating because it always defaults to the default. Anytime I make a change and wish to save the overall message for future use, it has just never worked. Pros Initially, I went with pdfFiller because of pricing and usability. I’ve continued with it since then because it works for me in my large and small document signings. Cons I wish that there was a quick way to find all versions of the contract, including signed versions, in the same docs folder that I’ve organized by project. I produce films and this would make a huge difference. I also wish there was a way to do batch downloads of signed documents as PDFs for filing with legal entities. Alternatives considered [Docusign](https://www.capterra.com/p/121506/Docusign/)[Adobe Acrobat Reader](https://www.capterra.com/p/170833/Acrobat-Reader-DC/) Reason for choosing pdfFiller Pricing was important, as well as ease of use.

" October 28, 2024 5.0 Very positive experiences in all utilities and functions of the software. Pros Outstanding edit of uploaded documents of all sixes and formats. Superior signature sharing capabilities. Cons I dont like that all pdf files are automatically uploaded to pdf filler. Many are useless and too large to be on the program. Alternatives considered [Docusign](https://www.capterra.com/p/121506/Docusign/) Reason for choosing pdfFiller Cheaper and much more powerful and solves all my needs for products.

Pros Easily being able to fill out and sign forms Cons 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 Review Source JR Janice R. Office Administrator Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "PDF review" October 24, 2024 5.0 Great - very easy to maneuver thru and print Pros that it saves my file and that I can return and modify it at a later date. Cons Sometimes getting the curser to be in the correct place and not wipe out everything that i had already typed. Review Source AH Andy H. Principal Insurance Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Only program that is worth the investment!" October 30, 2024 5.0 I have been using about 7 years and it is used weekly to enhance documents. Pros I love the ability to update documents and improve documents that only have as a hard copy/pdf. Cons I wish the signature part was better. I wish there was a way to detect the size and type of text and mirror that with the correction or improvement needed. Review Source JB Jon B. Owner Insurance Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Good but not great" November 1, 2024 3.0 I have been using pdfFiller for 3 or 4 years. I think the concept is excellent and if processes were intuitive and consistent and there was much less of a lag, pdfFiller would be an excellent product. Pros It can do pretty much everything I need it to with respect to creating and filling forms. Low cost. Cons Processes seem to change a lot. I have to keep figuring things out because of changes that occur every few months. Things aren’t always intuitive. Also, it is clunky and very slow. Review Source JL Jessica L. Broker Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Wonderful, on the go, experience" October 29, 2024 5.0 My overall experience with pdfFiller is fast, convenient and price is great. Pros What I like most about pdfFiller is that it is super easy to use. Cons What I like least about pdfFiller is I cant fax more than a certain number of pages at a time. Review Source RM Robert M.

Pros Simplicity - You can manage signatures, add text, fill out templates, save and send in a variety of ways - and it's all intuitive! Cons There can be an extra click or two involved in saving documents, sometimes, but generally this is more of learning curve about how the system operates. Review Source TS Tetiana S.

No complaints and free storage on my documents and easy to sign items. Pros I use PdfFiller for all of my signed documents. I can login anywhere and it saves my documents in case I need to make changes later. Cons Like everything else these days, it typically takes 2 step verification which is annoying.
