In my field of work and opportunities, I quite often have to complete and sign agreements and contracts whenever and wherever.
Utilizing a great format that is simply put- user friendly and fast, PDF Filler ensures that the people needing my consent or handling signed forms can be done in the moment. We live that way today so it is one of the most useful tools to do such. I am usually the "user" yet in a side hobby for other business work I get to seek the PDF Filler benefits from my outside sourced clients.
  • Getting that quick disclosure paperwork signed , dated and instantly delivered
  • The PDF Filler is reliable and a trusted concept that we see on both ends from user to a specific target or group deal. And I have found it's comfort level of use to work for so many people creatively.
  • As I said: Signed, delivered and flexible for molding and multi person engagement.
  • Not needing to print out in the moment or the opportunity to create and review and touch all points from one place streamline this platform.
  • This is THE standout for Electronic Signature needs.
  • As a using recipient mostly I have avoided larger picture concerns that seem to be a part of the past.
  • There are multiple, additional aspects that I have yet to uncover but have seen in smaller collaborations so I feel good on overall functionality.
  • I find for myself and sometimes my individuals involved simply can use this program with minimal complications and I personally feel it's become smoother over time. There are MANY alternatives but once you connect to a solid performer that is universally known, the extra needs don't appear as you might think.
  • Consider your needs and it's usability together and find out just what can be done and know there is assistance if you get tripped up. But that's more a part of the past as well.
  • You have to decide for yourself. And often you will be presented with this option as someone is seeking your responses or signatures and you can correct a mistake. And you can keep folder flowing.
I chose to hit #9. I believe we all have abilities to broaden our needs so for the majority you may end up thinking this is a 10 if having used comparison tools or remembering those times when a certain "other" signature and document completion tool didn't go as planned or seemed less familiar.
I will always welcome the clients and professionals who need my response to send their documents to me for PDF filling. On the random flip when I have to have communication rapidly flow on the go in a last minute piece of time, these people will receive my PDF™ items. And if tips and tools are necessary, they are rather easily placed where they can be worked out by anyone.

  • Re-arrange documents or pages within a PDF document
  • FAS a document in the US
  • Sign, using existing signatures

We use PDFfiller to efficiently process and submit building certification forms and client contracts. PDFfiller has cut out the need to print and complete forms with pen then return via fax/photo. PDFfiller has saved an enormous amount of time not only completing forms but submitting forms in a more than timely manner.
  • Electronic Signature
  • Editing forms
  • creating templates for repetitive forms and contracts
  • Organisation of files into folders
Well suited to completing repetitive forms for different jobs/addresses.
Well suited for electronic signature so administration can electronically sign on behalf of the signee.
Well suited to editing a previous form that needs to be updated/renewed.

I use PDFfiller to search for different standard operating procedures in the trucking industry, such as OSHA forms. I also use it to fill out applications for permits and then update them, so I do not have to fill them out every time they need submitted. I have also used PDF forms while doing inspections of facilities and checking the list off on PDF as I complete them. This makes it very convenient as I am able to save them as a pdf and save them to my computer.
  • Makes forms easy to fill out
  • Keep my forms organized
  • able to search for different forms/policies/checklist
  • Nothing having to save more than one file as a zip file
  • Not having to research for a from after exiting a form
  • having templates to creata your own form
I use PDFfiller to fill out permits for the trucking industry. It makes it easy because I am able to just change the dates on the form rather than filing a new application each time a permit is needed. And if a new vehicle is added I am able to duplicate the application and just change the appropriate information and submit the application in a timely manner.

We need clients to fill out documents for transport. We used to send them and they hope they had a program to edit or add. We tried a few options but never worked right.. We also had a problem with people overseas not being able to open up the attached files... Nightmare...

PDFFiller solved this ... now they go to the link - fill out the form , add a signature, and send... simple. easy. done..
  • allows us to work internationally
  • allows us to get a stamped signature
  • allows us to collect name and emails before they fill out the form
  • is simple for the client..
  • re-editing pages -- very had to find the page
  • to re-edit you need to go to 4 different buttons
  • you can't re-edit text easily
  • the main page is more focused on received forms -- forms are sent to us so this secondary to the edits
  • Took a while to set up the "order"
allows us to work internationally -- people no longer need to worry about opening files... allows for signatures and verification .

I often need to alter pdf files and PDFfiller allows me to do it with ease. I am able to delete pages, add pages, merge documents, electronically sign documents, make notes on documents, edit text in pdf's, and more.
  • Merge pdf documents
  • Electronically sign documents
  • Create documents with fillable fields
  • It doesn't allow for merging of documents of more than 150 pages
  • There is a limit on how big of a file PDFfiller will allow you to upload to edit
  • It doesn't allow you to compress the size of documents
It well suited if you work with a lot of pdf files and need to edit them.

We use PDFfiller for editing PDF documents. Whenever we have a document that needs editing or updating we have found PDFfiller is faster than adobe to finish a project.
  • Edit PDFs
  • Erase unwanted information on PDF files
  • Align text in PDFs
  • Moving of text is difficult sometimes
  • Takes long to print edited pdfs sometimes
  • takes long to save at times
Editing PDFs without downloading clunky software.
Speed of saving and printing edited pdfs could improve.

We use PDFfiller daily to fill and sign documents, it looks more professional and helps to avoid having to print/scan. We have not tried the notarize feature yet but look forward to trying it once we require a document notarized. It is nice to have a software that has all of these features in one and I also like how it is consistently adding new features.
  • Easy of use to fill pdfs
  • Drag and drop pdfs to add to our account
  • Sign documents
  • I would prefer to be able to download the document once finished from the same screen
  • More font options
  • I can't think of anything else because it is so easy to use
This software is easy to use, simple to learn and is always adding new features. I would definitely recommend PDFfiller, it has made filling and signing pdfs much more efficient.

PDFfiller allows me to upload many documents into a single downloadable file. I manage many accounts for our platform and during the onboarding process, there are a lot of digital files that need to be edited, signed, and returned regularly. It allows me to focus more on customer relationships and successful implementations, than on struggling to keep the paperwork in order.
  • Upload multiple files
  • Combine Files into a single downloadable file
  • Edits to PDFs and other Docs are simple and effective
  • Stores multiple files for a quick history reference
  • UI is clean and easy to use
  • Allow for multiple users to easily sign in to a single account
  • Better quality digital signatures
  • Customize your own dashboard
Anytime I have multiple files I need to edit, sign and return, I use PDFfiller. It saves so much time and effort and the files always look clean. I highly recommend PDFfiller for any business that manages its reports, contracts, agreements, NDAs, HR paperwork, and any other documents that require text entered. It's a great tool that I use every day.

I use PDF filler across many different platforms in my company. I use it mainly for applications for licensing for the 41 companies that I support in annually renewing their applications with the state. I save each Year's application information so when I go to renew a company for the next year the information is already pre-populated on the form I just print it and submit it very conveniently since the applications are about six pages long. I also use it to fill out any form and I do mean any form I uploaded into the PDF filler click on the boxes enter the information save it print it send it or email it is a convenience that I don't know that I could live without. If I've lost a form on my computer I know I can always go to PDF to find the form because I use it for every form I fill out. This is a must-have for any company I also use it for employee documents forms and letters.
  • Spell checks
  • Love the signature feature
  • Acts like a word document in terms of the features of font bolding
  • If you double click in an area it will reduce the of size of the font in that area.
  • When I edit a document title I would like for that document title to appear on the My documents page
Is mainly used for filling out forms. It doesn't have a blank document field so you can't just create a document you need to upload a form into it. It is easy to upload forms into the PDF filler and to retrieve forms that have been filled out. I would like to see a zoom training done so that I could become more familiar with the other benefits that PDF filler has and I just don't use them because I don't know about them.

We use PDFfiller to have application forms filled and signed by clients electronically. We use this in my department only for now but it eliminates the need to have clients print out and scan documents. Now that many people are still working remotely this has been very helpful since many people don't have printers or scanners while working from home.
  • Automatically maps text fields
  • Easy to insert signature lines
  • Creates easy links to send to clients via email.
  • Learning how to edit and send out for signature can be daunting.
  • There doesn't seem to be a laid out learning path and the learning section is vast but that can lead you to getting lost.
  • No phone support.
  • Some vendors still wont accept this e-signature vs one of their larger competitors.
I use PDFfiller to complete carrier applications and sometimes employee applications. I also use this when I need to sign forms internally for my company or for licensing paperwork. You need to be careful using the signature feature because some companies will not accept PDFfiller signatures.

We use PDFfiller to combine documents, sign documents, or simply complete and forward them to others. As a remote team, it is crucial to be able to have a simple-to-use tool to complete these tasks. The corporate/admin team uses this the most, but it is also used by the program and operations team for contracts and the like.
  • Combines documents
  • Makes completing documents simple
  • Intelligent response (defaults to 'text' mode and tabs to next open space on the form)
  • I wish the 'save as' would be a one-step process as opposed to a download that I then have to open and save
I have recommended it! It really is a very user-friendly tool. I prefer it to the competitors as it's much more intuitive and simple to use. It doesn't 'think' it's smarter than I am and allows for me to edit my own work, undo, move around, change order, etc, as needed. Too many pdf tools make it difficult to switch between text and check box and signature and almost impossible to go back and change answers as needed. PDFfiller is very robust while not being overly complicated.

PDFfiller is our primary goto software for creating and editing pdf documents. This is being used my many departments but primarily used by the HR department for recruiting purposes especially since last year as the recruitment has become 100% remote. It helps us create, edit and encrypt pdf documents with ease and help create completely trackable workflows for document filing and signature.
  • UI is intuitive and simple.
  • One can edit literally any sort of pdf including scanned pdf documents as well.
  • Provides functionality to merge multiple pdf documents and also to convert a pdf document to image, word and other formats.
  • Integrates with most of the cloud storage solutions and also with CRM solutions.
  • Sometimes editing text on pdf changes the background to completely white background which should not happen at all.
  • Limited font options for adding text.
  • No option to set the orientation of text at a particular angle in order to align with rest of the sentence while editing text.
PDFfiller is like a swiss army knife for all things related to PDF documents. It is most suitable in organizations where a lot of documentation is required like the medical, insurance, and banking industries. It helps organizations almost go paperless and helps them enhance productivity of employees while making processes more efficient.

PDFfiller comes in especially handy for my organization when working with freelance talent. It allows us to get signatures for contracts and tax documents quickly and securely.
  • Files are easy to find, complete and sign.
  • Takes the hassle out of getting multiple signatures on documents.
  • Limited choice of fonts.
  • Paid version could be more affordable to stay competitive with other options out there.
PDFfiller is especially well suited to filling legal documents like W-9s or NDAs, a scenario we frequently encounter when contracting new freelance talent at our agency. PDFfiller makes it quick and painless to get these forms filled in and submitted.

A well-architected solution for a common problem that has been a pain point in large organizations for years: creating simple workflows for generating friendly, editable, cross-platform PDF files. We leverage PDFfiller to fully automate this process, for our vendors and partners when we need strictly compliant yet also user-friendly editable PDFs.
  • Easy workflows for creating new templates.
  • Ability to bulk send to multiple recipients.
  • Easy to collect signatures as well as other fill-in details.
  • Some formatting options are not as flexible as they could be.
  • More flexible options for pricing for occasional users.
  • UI is a bit overwhelming for new users.
Great for teams big and small who need to be able to occasionally or frequently create beautiful and user-friendly PDFs with clear editable sections. Great for signature collection, contract management, procurement, and legal. Highly usable for all teams in all business functions, and requires little training and onboarding to be productive.

PDFfiller is an excellent tool for a lot of our departments. We are a resort with lodging, F&B, golf, work out facility, and more. PDFfiller has been especially useful for my Membership documents. I know a lot of other departments use them, for example, event contracts. PDFfiller is a great tool for getting and receiving forms from Members who do not have a printer or scanner. This has made my job a lot easier. I can also more easily electronically file forms as well.
  • Easy to use program. I am not great with technology and was easily able to figure out how to use this software.
  • Being able to send a professional looking document to clients and Members is key.
  • My Members and clients appreciate the ease of receiving and completing fillable documents.
  • No more scanning, I can save these documents electronically a lot easier than paper.
  • Honestly, I have not had any issues with PDFfiller.
  • My PDFs are pretty basic so this has been an easy tool to use and has caused me no problems.
  • I would recommend this software to any business, small or large.
PDFfiller is fantastic for so many purposes for me. Most recently, I created all of my time exchange Members with fillable forms to let me know what weeks they wanted to book for our next Club Year. I was able to get these out immediately, rather than waiting for snail mail and received them in a more timely manner than a paper form. They look professional and are the perfect tool for the job. My Members appreciate not only the ease of using these documents but also how quickly their reservations are being entered with this more streamlined process.

I have used PDFfiller to complete tax filings, separation notices, and more.
  • Easy to use.
  • Clear instructions.
  • Tons of forms to use.
  • I have occasionally struggled to find forms I need.
PDFfiller is well suited for small or large businesses. I feel the price is commensurate for the features and abilities I receive. I have introduced it to several of my employees to utilize and they have been very happy with it. I highly recommend using PDFfiller for your business.

I use PDFfiller for several types of documents. The first and foremost is to sign letters, contracts and agreements in the plethora of paperwork that I'm involved with daily. More important is the filing of reports and regulatory documents that constantly re-occur and have to be updated. An example would be an annual report or a quarterly report that is required by a State Public Utility Commission, Secretary of State or a Department of Revenue. Some of these reports can be north of 10 -15 pages. Once you have uploaded one of these blank forms to PDFfiller and fill it out, you can save it in several formats and also file it in a specific folder. The next time you need to file the same report you're able to log back in, find the report and treat it as a template. In other words, you're able to simply change the date on the form and update the numbers and re-name it to fit the occasion.
  • They allow you to keep and save multiple signatures on file so you can sign documents on behalf of a multitude of people.
  • They allow the conversion of file formats. For example from a Word doc to a PDF and vice versa.
  • Locating where you have stored specific file folders could be made easier by providing a larger 'arrow' to click which changes the direction it points to in "My Docs' and opens up the directory of all your file folders.
  • Sometimes when you log in you do not see all the available tabs or buttons to click to be able to accomplish specific functions. For example, I used to see a control to enlarge a page, which I don't see any more?
The only scenarios where it isn't appropriate are when a company you are doing business with demands that you fill out their form using only Adobe Acrobat. However, in the majority of cases, PDFFiller is extremely well suited and seems to integrate with all the companies I deal with when contracts have to be signed and countersigned.

PDFfiller is used widely throughout my organization. Used to automate our employment application processes and create/modify our staff training handbooks. With the ability to add lines and sections into a fallible format saves time and increases productivity across the board. Cloud access makes documents available to staff company-wide.
  • User-friendly. Easily used by even the most entry-level users.
  • Helpful instructions offered to assist new users to learn the product and many features available.
  • Price for paid version can be slightly lower in order to keep up with competition.
  • Could have more sharing options to send to other platforms.
I work in recruiting and human resources. Many applicant tracking systems require specific file types in order to upload documents successfully. The many file format conversion options make it easy to convert any file to accommodate each client. The eSign feature is one of my favorite features I I used on a daily basis for our application process.

The sales, leasing, and administrative support employees all love using PDfiller, because it saves us all a ton of time and allows us to do process the documentation associated with our deals/job quickly, efficiently, and with ease. Prior to discovering this application, filling out legal forms and documentation required printing, manually completing forms, scanning or faxing them back, and saving the file on the computer. PDFfiller allows us to get rid of the giant scanner/copier/fax machine, and complete these tasks simply and free from unnecessary stress.
  • Create and edit forms with ease.
  • Send forms out for signature and field completion to clients, vendors, and employees.
  • Saved us a ton of time and space around the office, since we have been able to eliminate the fax machine and scanner.
  • I prefer the “send to sign” feature used in DocuSign. It feels more “official” and “binding” for legal documents and contracts but this is really more of a personal preference than reality; they both get the job done and perform a very similar function.
Every time we have a new client we send a consumer notice out that allows clients to easily “acknowledge” receipt by virtually signing the form. Likewise for all residential and commercial leases and agreements of sale, PDFfiller has been a lifesaver. What used to be a major time suck to complete a simple form, for example, a seemingly simple task which should have been the easiest part of completing a sea always took a tremendous amount of time, because PDFs are simply not editable. Contracts would need to be filled out with pen and paper. They were hard to read, required scanners and/or fax machines, and took tons of time away from more productive income-generating activities. PDFfiller finally solves all of these problems for us.

It is used by various departments in my organization. As an analyst I use it in credit department of my organization. I use it to edit my office documents. In many of my financial documents I need signatures of my clients So I use this software for e-signatures. This way I can save lot of time by doing all my works from my desk itself.
  • Its user interface makes it a very easy-to-operate app. Without having adequate technical knowledge any user can operate it easily.
  • It works very fine on adding text on any part of a PDF document and It also allows users to delete pre written text from a pdf file.
  • It can also convert PDF files in other office formats with good quality.
  • multiple users can not login at the same time. When the 2nd user login to the same account, it will logged out the 1st user automatically.
  • For using advanced features of this software users need to pay a lot. It's very expensive.
  • Unavailability of task manager. It can help users to add their tasks on the dashboard itself and give reminders of those tasks.
It is very well suited in my work where I need approvals of my clients with their signatures on it and I don't want to print my documents. With the help of this software, I create those fillable documents on my computer itself and I send them to my clients via email and get their signatures on them digitally.

I used PDFfiller for some time in conjunction with another similar program, since there were times when I had to create many pdf files from images and other documents and using only one program would take a lot of time, so I added PDFfiller to my list of programs. Frequent use at that time was very favorable.
  • Create pdf files from jpg, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint quickly and easily.
  • Usually the process of creating Word, Excel, or PowerPoint files from pdf files works quite well.
  • When you create pdf files from images, normally the result is a very large file whose handling is difficult when you want to send through a social network or by email.
  • Although, the process of going from pdf to Word usually works, there are occasions where PDFfiller has generated some strange characters in my new file.
If you need to create many pdf files or, if you only want to pass your office files to pdf and also place a watermark so that nobody can use your documents without your authorization, this can be a great ally for you.
