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 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 AC Angela C. Owner Mental Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to use" September 14, 2026 5.0 pdfFiller is very easy to use. It also has features for auto signature for contracts to send out when needed. Pros Great value for money to use this. I use this to merge several pdf files together and "write" on the pdf also. Cons Really can't think of anything I least like about the product. The only issue I had was for auto renewal my credit card expired and it was hard to get taken care of. 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. JR Jenifer R.

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 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. Review Source DB Donna B. Owner Transportation/Trucking/Railroad Used the software for: 2+ years ### "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. 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 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 ADEEL A. Digital Marketing Assistant Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Review of pdfFiller" November 4, 2023 5.0 Overall I am quite satisifed with the service and recommending my team mates as well to use this. Pros The best feature in PDFfiller is the digital signature that help us to finish our work with in no time, a user friendly interface and very good customer services that help us to fulfill the work in no time. Cons As the work flow is quite good but the price of buying is a bit high. Alternatives considered [PDFescape](https://www.capterra.com/p/209932/PDFescape/) Reason for choosing pdfFiller User freindly interface and ability to work smoothly with the functions avaialble Switched from [PDFescape](https://www.capterra.com/p/209932/PDFescape/) Limitation in PDFescape but we have so many functions and services available in PDFfiller that help me to switch Review Source BO Babatunde O.

April 24, 2025 5.0 It was easy to add content to sign my pdf and also fill forms online, however it is usually not free Pros This was the only pdf editing tool that allowed me add content to pdf without affecting the design of the original pdf Cons You might need to signup to download edited pdfs but that is completely fine by me, you just need to be upfront about it. Review Source AI Alex I. Graphic Designer Design Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Easy To Use" January 14, 2025 5.0 Pros I like how straightforward it is to use. The editing tools are really powerful, the e-signature feature is secure, and it connects easily with other platforms, which makes handling PDFs so much easier Cons The subscription pricing feels a bit steep if you don’t use it often. Plus, I’ve noticed it can sometimes lag when working with larger files Review Source SB Suzy B. Student Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Use it and Love it!

Pros It enables me to work remotely without a scanner. Cons Not much comes to mind to criticize - it makes my job easier. Review Source SJ Shellie J. PAS Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "PDF Filler to the rescue!!" December 2, 2024 5.0 I use PDF filler to modify documents that need to be notarized by my clients. I am able to successfully send out documents to be completed via email in a timely manner. Pros PDF filler has been a lifesaver with my notary business! I am able to quickly modify templates and receipts for my clients in office and more importantly out of office.

Pros I like the ease of being able to combine documents. Cons I'm hoping it is a glitch but the last 2 days have been unable to save without jumping thru 3 different hoops which is a pain costing time. Review Source MC Martisha C. CEO Apparel & Fashion Used the software for: 2+ years ### "How PDFfiller helped me " February 27, 2023 5.0 PdfFiller has saved me alot of time and money, I've used PdfFiller to sign documents for work and get them signed. Navigating through the software is easy, it allows you to not only upload the document needed to sign but email and a host of other different options which would definetly come in handy for those who are not tech savy and up to date with using the internet that well. Pdffiller has been not only a life saver but a time and money saver too. It is great for people who may not have to sign alot of documents or have to especially with the trial thats offered. I would highly recommend trying the program out. Pros I love the fact that PdfFiller is easy to navigate and it helps maintain formatting which is very important to the way people retain information and it keeps it just as it should be. PDf also allows you to implement watermarks and digital signatures which are very viable in the business industry. I also love the fact that software allows you a free trial so if your not satsfied your not obligated to stick to the program. Cons I cant really think of any cons about Pdffiller its very easy to use and worth the price. Review Source HA Hilda A.

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.

Director of Software Engineering Financial Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Pdffiller, an excellent alternative to Adobe Acrobat." May 8, 2023 4.0 Pdffiller I would recommend it for people who use large amounts of PDF all the time is that it allows you to save unlimited files in your cloud. It is a software that adapts to current times where it is not necessary to download an installer on your computer since everything can be to do online, once a PDF document is finished, be it a form, it can be sent by email and track sending documents. Pros PDF Filler is a great alternative to Adobe Acrobat, it has features that are even better such as uploading documents directly to its platform for later editing or filling, it can take files saved in Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive or any other URL. One of the great features that it has is that all the PDF editing tools can be done online. This makes it easy to work on PDF files from any device. One of the functions that I like the most that is very practical to use is adding annotations to PDFs. Cons Something I don't like is the organization of the files that are saved in the cloud, although it may be an advantage not to have to download it to your device, it lacks a better organization to organize images and other types of documents with which you work, Another aspect that should be improved is an interface since at first it can seem confusing and difficult to use when you are editing a PDF file which takes time to adapt.
