Kudos to the PlotSoft team for making the world a better place and saving us hours of headaches with the product you created and so generously share.

Switched from [Adobe Acrobat Reader](https://www.capterra.com/p/170833/Acrobat-Reader-DC/)[Adobe Acrobat](https://www.capterra.com/p/251329/Adobe-Acrobat-DC/) Adobe's free version doesn't work well for me and it always locks me out and forces me to pay Review Source Lynn B. Attorney Law Practice Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good for the Price" May 21, 2021 4.0 I don't recall having any real issues with PDFill. It always worked find, and it was relatively user friendly. I like that it allows you to save in the editing format, but also as a full-fledged pdf if you prefer. I think I have had a good experience with PDFill, and although I have been using adobe lately, I still go back to PDFill for certain forms and will continue to use the product as needed. Pros PDFill was very cheap to purchase (I think it was about $20), and it definitely served its purpose of enabling me to fill in forms in pdf format. I also like it because it is very easy to use to enter fields on forms and other documents. Cons There is really nothing "not to like" but maybe that it does not have all the options that adobe offers with its product. I don't think that is really a fair comparison because I am paying almost as much for adobe on a monthly basis that I paid in full for PDFiller. Alternatives considered [Adobe Acrobat Reader](https://www.capterra.com/p/170833/Acrobat-Reader-DC/) Reason for choosing PDFill I chose PDFill because of the price, and I was pleased with it for a long time until I needed more functionality than it had with respect to creating and editing pdf documents. Now I use both PDFill and the much more costly adobe (I pay a monthly fee of about $15.93 for adobe). Adobe does offer more functionality, but PDFill definitely services its purpose for a great price. Review Source Oriana Veruska G.
