I use it to create and modify PDF documents. I like the highlighting, erase and adding text functions particularly. I use this mostly in regard to marketing to insurance agents.
  • Erases and/or Edits text
  • Adds Images
  • Highlights Key Items
  • Hard to say, it is pretty strong. Maybe more help features.
It is a great tool for updating or editing an existing document to make sure it is exactly how you want it to appear. I feel it is a good value, especially for the price.

Being in Real Estate I need to sign documents all the time. I can't always be by my computer. It's nice to be able to use your phone to sign documents. I don't have to be tied to a computer. I like the price. Adobe products are expensive and have a subscription. I don't need that. PDF Filler does what I need it to seamlessly and for a very reasonable price.
  • I have to sign documents from my Broker
  • I need to sign medical forms occasionally
  • I need to sign forms from my professional real estate board and association
  • I've honestly had no issues with the program
I've often been on the road and you need to sign something. It's convenient to be able to handle it right on the spot. I'm guilty of forgetting things. So if I can see it and handle it right on the spot, that is a real plus. Having a great app at hand all the time is comforting.

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.

PDF filler I was able to edit PDFs on my mobile while in the field or on a jobsite. The problem was not being in the office but needing to sign or edit docs for billing or charges incurred. PDFfiller made it possible to get the job done regardless of where I was at or what I was doing.
  • Edit docs on mobile
  • Save a copy
  • Send in a format used industry wide
  • Esign documents
  • Some edits didnt save correctly
  • Cloud storage would be helpful
Not good for editing plans or blueprints but great for invoices, word docs and email friendly documents and attachments. Highlighting and notations arent the easiest but got used to the format and functions. Doing things on the mobile app worked very well, across most devices I didnt see a difference in layout and user friendly layout.

I use it for everything. Whenever i need to have a document emailed to me, which needs to be filled out and returned, i cannot be bothered to print it, fill it and then scan it back. PDF filler allows me to not have to travel with a printer or portable scanner. The phone apps that are supposed to work like scanners are abysmal. So, thanks to PDF scanner I am able to travel with just a laptop and not bother with having to use the business centers at hotels.
  • signatures look like real wet signatures.
  • copies fonts to make seamless edits
  • matches lines of text
  • autofills dates
  • font matching is pretty good but there are some fonts that dont look seamless
  • run a little bit faster
Honestly, everyone should know about PDF filler. But then again, its my little secret, lol. I love the fact that I can make edits to PDF seamlessly and professionally. I also love the fact that the documents i need to fill out, sign and return look great. Not like i printed them and then tried to use a phone scanner to send them back. PDF filler is what allows me to travel without a printer!

Edit PDF files, fill in PDF files, sanitize PDF files (remove un-necessary data)
  • ability to fill fields with custom data like date, signature etc.
  • Re-arrange documents or pages within a PDF document
  • FAS a document in the US
  • Sign, using existing signatures
  • clarity on User interface
  • User interface is a bit complicated and not intuitive
The price is much better than acrobat however, with functionality that is unique to PDFfiller, however, this is what I need for my needs so I'm happy.

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 use PDF filler to create fillable PDFs that can easily be typed into for business use. We also use PDF filler to save time and limit contact for notary services.
  • Document Templates
  • Fillable PDFs
  • Notary Services
  • Labeling of documents
  • Eraser as a block, it could be upgraded to a flexible shape
  • Deletion of a checkmark after use without deleting part of the document
PDF filler has a lot of really helpful tools that businesses can use to make business documents easier to create and share with others. Even sensitive documents can be shared directly with security embedded. PDF filler makes fillable documents from current documents. It also has contactless notary services. It is a great product/tool for use in business.

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 use PDF filler to create leases, update tenant information with HOA, tax forms, and all other forms related to managing 18 properties. Once a document has been created for a property, I can duplicate it and change tenant-only information leaving the rest of the document as is. This product saves me a tremendous amount of time. It is in the top 5 most valuable tools I use for this business.
  • I love the "duplicate" feature
  • I love the signing feature
  • I love the tools. It allows so many options
  • I would like the ability to create Folders to organize my documents
With 18 properties to manage, there are a lot of forms that need to be filled out for HOA. PDF filler allows me to type in the information, download it to my computer, and/or email directly. When the tenant changes, I can go to the document and just change certain information rather than re-doing the entire thing. Unless you need a handwritten signature, like for a notary for instance, the signature feature is wonderful.

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.

I use it weekly to edit pdf documents and fill in needed information to those pdfs. I have also used for signing and creating training books for employees I bring on to my company. It is easy to use and does exactly what I need it to do. I have recommended it to others in my field of work as a reasonable cost that will improve their business processes.
  • Highlight key sections of your document
  • Allows text options
  • Blackout personal information
  • I occasionally have issues when trying to rename my documents on the main screen but it has improved
I have used it often to add client names to documents.
I don't use it for tax purposes but I do see faxing and IRS options are available.

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.

When you need to sign a document electronically, you'd use PDFfiller without having to download, complete, and scan a document. It's easy to use. For me, this is important because I need to sign documents while I am on the go. I was traveling last month and needed to complete a document for a corporation that needed my services. It was important to do this from my laptop.
  • Convert to PDF
  • Editable PDF
  • Shareable PDF
  • At this time, I Do not see any areas of improvement that are needed.
When you're on the go and don't have a printer, PDFfiller helps! I am a business owner and can work from anywhere. When companies need their documents signed, sometimes you cannot wait to head back home to sign a document. This service will work for you if you work remotely and need a quality document signed and delivered to one of your partner companies.

I work with many students from colleges and universities on internships and routinely sign student placement agreements and evaluations. I also frequently work with other agencies and sign agreements/send signed invoices. I also have PDF posters of services that sometimes need to be amended (i.e. change in dates).
  • Easy way to place signature
  • Erase/update material
  • Ability to size/resize text
  • More font options
  • Not changing the original font when editing
It is affordable and user-friendly. For anyone who is busy and doesn't have the time/technical knowledge to learn new software, it is very easy to use.

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.

Our organization uses PDFfiller to quickly and effectively sign, edit, and complete documents for all of our departments. We primarily use it to fill out lien waivers.
  • User-friendly interface
  • Combine and edit multiple page documents
  • Quick fill in data, like signatures and dates for efficiency
  • Uploading images
  • Changing all font at once
  • Adjusting font size over the whole document
PDFfiller is great for quick edits and is more suited to people not familiar with Adobe. It is 100% more user-friendly. If you need to do more detailed editing, Adobe is better and has more features.

I utilize PDFfiller when I need to update or change documents in RFP, RFI, or contracts where a customer has supplied a PDF. I also utilize the digital signature option on forms as needed. When completing RFP and RFI, it simplifies entering necessary information in the same format provided by our customers.
  • Enter digital signature
  • Update documents with missing or added information
  • Remove unneeded pages and then complete documents
  • Allows "scrubbing" of reports to utilize in presentations to remove private information
  • When deleting pages, I wish it had a select all and then the ability to uncheck pages you want
PDFfiller is easy to use. There is a lot of storage of documents which makes working on RFP's much easier as you can have several copies of the document loaded and work on separate parts then merge together when completed. The digital signature options allow for a computerized signature or an actual signature.

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.
