It was the worst because I had no idea how to work the program. It took well over 5hrs for something that should have taken less than 5 mins had a I known what to do
Anonymous Customer
I like everything about this program, but I prefer to be able to create folders without tags and be able to fill out forms without NEXT bars popping up all the time - they are annoying. But my overall experience with this program is great!
Victoria
Great service. There isn't anything that I can't do with this program. Very convenient. It works when you need it. My only desire is that while typing, the sentences should automatically loop to the next line. It's bothersome that I have to keep my eyes on the line instead of what I'm doing.
Gary F
What do you like best?
I like how easy it is to edit the content of a PDF. I've recently had to adjust a few documents which were not previously editable for me, and this has made it simple to keep things updated.
What do you dislike?
I would like to be able to choose the file destination when selecting Save As, rather than it defaulting to my Downloads folder.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
We've recently implemented new contracts for our accounts, and using PDFfiller has made creating them so easy. It's saved me a significant amount of time.
User in Entertainment
What do you like best?
I love that I can alter a pdf with just about anything. I can also send forms to my clients to e-sign through a secure site. Often I use it to sign documents that are sent to me as well.
What do you dislike?
The only drawback that I have is if I upload a document and want to use it for different customers, it doesn't save each one individually.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Buy it!
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
If I can't get a real-life e-signature I turn to PDFfiller to get the job done. My clients benefit from the secure site when I send sensitive documents to them.
Deidree Jones
The software is easy to navigate and user friendly. Not paying the Adobe prices. The software is very intuitive which is reduces time determining and understanding feature sets about the tool. Some features require a different level of membership which cost more and should be included with the basic package.
Gregg H.
What do you like best? I like the ability to electronically sign documents. What do you dislike? I wish I was able to edit the text in documents without the formatting getting messed up because it only allows for the addition of new text boxes or adding to existing ones which causes the formatting issues. What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you? It's solving the issue of having to print out and fax documents which can be time consuming. It has really benefited my company to be able to sign and send documents electronically making for a smoother more efficient experience.

Free trial Free trial is a great way to know and understand the capabilities of pdffiller it saves the files under a different name, but i dealt with it since i used the free trial
Sara M.
What do you like best? No more filling in forms with my handwriting. What do you dislike? Nothing really. I have found it be very helpful. Recommendations to others considering the product: Easy to use and affordable. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? A nice looking final document with legible information as opposed to my illegible handwriting. No need for a typewriter to fill in blanks on forms which means more space for other equipment.
