### "pdfFiller the best ever"

September 29, 2023

5.0

Cons

Maybe some things related to the shape of the platform

### "An inexpensive version of Adobe Acrobat that does what you need for PDFs"

July 10, 2023

5.0

A good experience. It's resolving the issue of users not having Adobe Acrobat which is the main marketshare holder.

Pros

That you can access the basic PDF features needed - email signature, editing and saving. These are basics and not very costly on pdffiller.

Cons

Sometimes, it can get buggy and glitchy. I think the team need to fix these issues.

### "Lost all my company files under an appointed user. "

September 22, 2020

2.0

As a company we use many software programs and we are never in a position where we could lose our data. There is a huge disconnect of how an admin panel is important and has access to all documents.

Pros

The link to fill options is the only reason we are with this company.

Cons

We bought the premium program and we are allowed to add admin users. We had to update our company card for a billing cycle which was just on oversight on our part. We immediately paid and the added account was deleted. I was on chat support ( that is all they have ) for over an hour. It took me forever to explain the issue and the outcome was sorry there is nothing we can do all your docs are gone.

Alternatives considered

Reason for choosing pdfFiller

The one feature I use for my business is the PDF link to fill. But now after losing so many company documents for clients I may just have my coder create our own in our portal. It isn't worth all the pain of losing hundreds of hours of work.

Dear Sylvia, we are very sorry for the inconvenience caused. We have investigated your case, and there was a technical misunderstanding involved there. Your documents have been restored, actually. Our Support has been trying to reach you via phone (the one indicated in your subscription), however, it goes straight to voicemail.

### "Generates SPAM even after instructing them to cease"

June 1, 2020

1.0

I will not conduct business with this organization in the future.

Pros

I did not find the software useful at all. It is very similar to several other products of various names which all have the same issues in usability, user-friendliness, and pricing. There are better products available online for free or at a very low fee.

Cons

Does not support formatting of languages of languges/fonts of languages such as Chinese very well. Once set and previewed, saving, then returning, the format of the document would change slightly. The controls are clunky and hard for beginner users to understand or use efficiently. WORST OF ALL, they will bill you even after you try to unsubscribe, and although they refunded the money quickly in my case, they did not disable, remove or restrict access to my personal information. An organization should immediately remove ALL information from active databases upon the first request. This organization will tell you that they cannot, and that you have to follow steps to delete it yourself. They asked me to screen share in order to help me with this action. That in itself is a HUGE risk which users should not allow except in the most dire of circumstances. After deleting the account once in the past, I continued to get spam from no-reply addresses and had to delete it again. Until this organization begins protecting their users' information with maximum sensitivity and security, I recommend that everyone cancel their membership, delete their account, and keep a record of speaking directly to Customer Support in telling them to discontinue all contact. Identity security is no joke!

Dear Eric, we are really sorry your experience with us has been so upsetting! We fully understand that your decision in this case is final; however, we would still like to clarify couple things here as both are very important for us. 1) Your email address has been deleted from the database exactly on the date your account was deleted. You will not get any further emails from us, I can assure you. 2) Screen sharing is just an option we suggest sometimes, in cases when the user experiences troubles with finding the right icons and the like. Such screen sharing is NEVER recorded on our side and can be stopped by the user themselves at any point of time. Everybody at pdfFiller takes data security very seriously. And in all these years at the market, we did not have a single data breach. I am sure you can check this online, as you are in IT services yourself. I hope this explains our position here. Once again, we are very sorry for any frustration caused.

### "Work and Study Budy"

February 16, 2023

5.0

Overall I love the app and all the features it offer! The benefits totally outweigh the cost. Amazing app!

Pros

What I like most about the feature is I can use it both for work to fill out pdf files and for my personal studies where I can write notes, comment, add highlights and more to the file.

Cons

What I least like about this is it can be a bit pricey to maintain especially if I were only a student. But good thing I am also using it for work so I can really maximize its use.

### "PDF Filler Useful but be Mindful"

June 15, 2022

3.0

My overall experience with PDF Filler would be neutral. Although PDF Filler is well known they still have a lot to work on to better the software.

Pros

What I like the most of PDF Filler are the options of tools you have to create and or edit the document you want.

Cons

What I dislike the most about PDF Filler is that the fill-in-the-blanks do not line up with the original document wording. For example, when you create the form and it has fill-in-the-blanks for the recipient like full name, email address, etc... So when the recipient receives the document and completes the form, when you get it back the fill-in-the-blank responses are not lined up with the document. For me this was frustrating because I would have to send the document to myself multiple times to make sure it's all lined up.

### "Using PDFfiller, PDF editing is quick and simple."

May 27, 2023

5.0

I can't recall what different projects we did a preliminary with...but we attempted a couple of different projects that were similar in cost - This program won by famous vote across our organization.

Pros

As a project manager, I viewed pdf filler as a significant device for altering and dealing with my PDF reports. The product is unquestionably natural and easy to use, permitting me to rapidly and effectively alter and redo my solicitations, contracts, and other significant reports. I particularly value the extensive variety of altering choices, from adding text and pictures to making usable structures and adding advanced marks. With pdf filler, I'm ready to smooth out my record-the-board cycle and save important time and assets.

Cons

PDFfiller required a couple of days to get familiar with the fundamental usefulness of, however, that will be normal for a product that gives us extraordinary worth. I deducted no focus for this as this is an extremely minor burden

### "Simple tool that increases productivity in office"

September 29, 2022

4.0

I'm a software engineer and have to deal with many documents everyday. Having a simple tool that has all the features needed for me to edit and handle all my documents makes my life easier. At the same time it saves me time to look up new tools and ways everyday. The UI is simple and intuitive, and it's easy to attach files, download and share it as needed. Overall it makes me more productive in office.

Pros

My favourite feature is the electronic/digital signature feature. As a person in the IT department, I have to work with numerous documents and sign many of them. And this tool made that really easy for me. Also, the signature looks blended out and not out of place. Other than that the merging tool and conversion tool are also very helpful. Depending on my needs, sometimes I can convert a ppt into a pdf for easy access or for sending it to anyone. I also get to attach different pdfs together in whatever order needed.

Cons

I don't have any major concerns. The only small problem I've had is regarding character recognition from scanned pdfs. Sometimes it is not entirely accurate. Though it is manageable for me.

### "Just a Little Bit More"

October 23, 2023

5.0

It has made editing documents sent via .pdf a lot easier to change. I think it's a great option if you don't need the many features that Adobe offers in its Reader Pro app.

Pros

I like that it's accessible online from anywhere in the world. It's not a cumbersome program and it's easy for people who may not be as tech-savvy or intimidated by Adobe products to use.

Cons

Some of the visual styling things seemed to be a bit dated when compared to Adobe, but otherwise, I have no complaints.

### "Best PDF Solution"

March 14, 2019

5.0

Pros

I work with PDF's every single day and that requires a software that can handle PDF files with ease and allow me to create and edit these on a moment's notice. PDFfiller is perfect for that. PDFfiller allows me to store private data fields (and documents) safely and share them with the right recipients knowing no one can intercept the private data on the way. My team and I often use the same templates on a daily/weekly basis, which saves us a lot of time all together. The interface itself is easy to use once you get the hang of things. All things considered, PDFfiller is an outstanding solution for all your business' PDF Needs.

Cons

PDFfiller took a few days to learn the basic functionality of, but that is to be expected from a software that provides us with great value. I did not deduct any points for this as this is a very minor inconvenience.

### "Pdf filler is better than Adobe"

June 21, 2022

5.0

Good for small simple doc editing. Adding signatures etc.

Pros

I was able to get my docs edited and printed with my native software and android phone. Adobe is too picky about using their product only, with PDF filler I was able to get everything done non issues.

Cons

It was a trial basis for free, I wish they would have told me that from day one to save me the hassle of going back to purchase, but really it didn't matter.

Reason for choosing pdfFiller

The price was a better deal.

It is a user-friendly tool with a versatile range of features for document management. While there are some subscription costs and a slight learning curve, it is a valuable asset for businesses and individuals seeking efficient document editing and collaboration solutions.

Pros

User-Friendly. pdfFiller offers an intuitive and easy-to-navigate platform. It also has versatile tools. It provides a wide range of features for editing, filling, and signing PDF documents

Cons

Subscription costs. The pricing plans might be a bit on the higher side for some users. Limited Free Features. The free version has limitations, and the best features come with a subscription.

### "pdfFiller Review"

February 17, 2023

5.0

Overall, PDFfiller is an excellent solution for digital signature, document management, and PDF editing needs. I highly recommend this platform for any user looking for a reliable and convenient solution to work with PDF documents.

Pros

PDFfiller is an excellent online platform that I really enjoyed using for its features of digital signature, document management, and PDF editing. I used this platform for more than a year and I was impressed with its ease of use and the speed of its features.

Cons

The negative aspect that I noticed on PDFfiller is that it is not always easy to find advanced editing options, especially for beginner users. This can lead to some frustration at the beginning, but once you get familiar with the interface, it becomes much easier to use.

### "easiest way to fill forms!"

August 9, 2018

5.0

I like it and I recommend it to anyone who works with Forms that cannot be edited using another softwares.

Pros

In my job we need to complete a LOT of forms (we are a law firm specialized in tax and corporate law so we need to complete a lot of forms that come in PDF format) and some of them doesn´t allow us to make any edit in the regular PDF program so PDFFiller is our salvation. It is super easy to use and it allows you to edit the entire document using only this software. You can add text or even delete parts that you don´t need. It is a software that doesn´t require any effort to understand because everything is as simple as upload the document, make the changes and save as pdf or print the document. I use it every day and I find it very complete for the things that I need.

Cons

You are not able to use it in several computers, so if by mistake you open your session on another computer you may loose your work.

### "PDF Filler-Sign, Send and Relax"

June 9, 2020

5.0

As a user of PDF Filler, I have found I can do so much and I try to when put to the challenge. I have many ways to adjust files and docs to my needs or the needs of my Agency or Management. My fault lies in my own lack of knowledge sometimes or my being scared to try to edit or sign something. Yet I can do so much more than I actually have to it amazes me. It is nice when I have to work on the go and don't have a lot of traditional options as i would use before-print, fill, sign,fax-etc. Stuff like that. I get great simplified organization here and it is right on point.I will keep growing and using this over time.

Pros

It is the only way to play for me with needing to sign documents while on the go or out of my home area. Today with covid-19 shutdowns, I am at the mercy of technology more than ever.And I am not the tech type guy. I have to try, fail, try again and learn if all is well. Sometimes, I will get a document on my mobile that says sign and send back right away. I get confused on my Google options, other things I use and I have 2 phones and can easily get lost on both. PDF Filler works so easily and involves virtually nothing.

Cons

I still get lost at times or can't get what I am aiming for on one of my personal devices. That is my error. The interface and expansions and lack for separate software actually are great here. Least liked features or issues are at my own fault here. It is pretty solid.

### "A very useful tool for PDFs"

February 16, 2023

4.0

Very good experience. In my beginnings I had a little trouble but everything came very quickly. I mainly use it for my professional paperwork with the administrations when I need to edit some files and sometimes I use it to sign. Not only do we save paper but also if we don't have a printer or are on a mobile or the tablet one can use this application. It's great !

Pros

Multiple features, easy and practice of use, especially for the modification of documents.

Cons

One thing to take into account is that pdfFiller is not easy for one who doesn't know more about this kind of software. Slight bugs sometimes but otherwise nothing to report on the software.

### "An Ultimate Timesaving Software"

May 16, 2022

5.0

I have never been bored using this software except for motivating me to give my maximum to the company. Once I am done with my PDF file, I just need to click one icon to send it to the respective recipient or recipients. Comprehensive icons on the right and left sidebars(panes) give a visually soothing experience and increase the efficiency of the work. Last but not least the privacy of the documents is guaranteed as the files can be password protected through this app. Indeed, the above-aforementioned aspects are only a few but there are plentiful advantageous features are available in this software, hence I highly recommend this software to use in your company or even personally.

Pros

One of the most important features I personally like is the ''AUDIT TRAIL". This great aspect helps me to identify each and every change made to the initial report and it gives a comprehensive picture of the amendments executed to the initial report, hence the authenticity of the reports is enhanced. Another great benefit to almost all the users is the ''E-signature". Having this electronically done made signature simply replaced conventional writing email address as the E-sign. Once the signatures are uploaded to this application, you can easily click and select the saved original sign in electronic format.

Cons

Sign-in through the mobile application is somewhat not effective. Our staff has experienced Android devices sending an error message and need to try a few times to access through a mobile device; thus the quality of this software is never sabotaged because the value we are generating from this application is abundant compared to this minor issue. We never experienced any difficulty in using this software on our computers.

### "Adobe for Life"

March 10, 2019

5.0

Overall, it's an amazing feature of the Adobe family that comes in handy for myself and especially in my industry where contracts are signed and requested frequently.

Pros

So you're working on a project, job, whatever and you get a form that needs to be filled out, signed, and returned. It's a PDF file which is great because nothing can be edited off the original form. You're only responsibility is to fill it out and send it back, but you don't have a printer available, there's no fax machine around, and this form needs to be completed ASAP. The PDF filler is an amazing tool that gets the job done. Not only does it allow you to fill in information on any PDF file, it also allows you to upload your signature to docs as well.

Cons

So while you can add your information to any pdf file, some of the files don't always allow for ease of filling out. For example, some forms allow you to type into blank spaces where words and information are supposed to go, while others have distortion issues and don't always allow for certain spaces to be typed into.

### "Convenient, Affordable, Online PDF Editing & Mgmt Tool"

January 16, 2019

5.0

I use PDFfiller on a regular basis. The enhanced security options, including the ability to email a PDF to someone and that automatically includes a ‘security code’ for retrieval of the document gives me a sense of security since the actual document is not attached to the email, which could be intercepted if someone hacked into your mail server. I also use the merging tools, allowing me to combine multiple PDF’s into one file, move pages, etc. It helps me to better organize my PDF libraries. Considering the other options of using a very high-priced service/product (Acrobat), PDFfiller is, in my opinion, a much better tool.

Pros

I’ve been using ‘PDFfiller’, for the last 2 years. The editing tools available are great, including filling out forms, editing text, adding comments and signatures, makes it a very convenient to import and work with documents on-the-go. The ability to import/export to/from cloud-based sources as well as drag & drop. Import options makes things much easier in-terns of document management

Cons

Honestly, there haven’t been any tasks that I typically need to with PDF editing, etc. that PDFfiller already provide.
