### "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.

Canva is not as easy to use for my needs.

### "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.

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.

### "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.

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.

### "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

### "A must have for truckers!"

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.

### "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.

### "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.

Very positive experiences in all utilities and functions of the software.

Pros

### "Very Happy Long-term PDFiller Customer"

October 28, 2024

5.0

I have been a long-time user of Pdffiller, and was the first person in my real estate office to begin using any type of document-completing software. Many of my fellow agents began to use it as well. I have used it for forms and contracts, but also for critiquing and marking up college papers for friends' children.

Pros

I love all the different things that I can do -- whiteout, erase, insert anything I need. Plus, I merge documents, rearrange pages, omit pages. And of course, I love the collaborative feature and the electronic signature.

Cons

I hate updates because sometimes it means that I have to learn how to do something a new way.

### "pdfFiller is my Hero"

October 30, 2024

I've been a subscriber for many years. This is a great service that does what is promises with ease!

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.

### "A Great App for Medical Claim Forms"

October 24, 2024

5.0

I am very happy with pdffiller. It makes creating claim forms easy and quick. It only takes a few minutes to complete a form. For an established patient it is even quicker. I have never had a claim form returned for incorrect or insufficient information.

Pros

It is user-friendly and simple to learn. It prints beautifully on a HICFA-1500 claim form.

Cons

Sometimes it is difficult to get the information exactly into the box (not too high or too low).
