What our customers say about pdfFiller

See for yourself by reading reviews on the most popular resources:
Since this is my first time and I have never used one of these before, I am still learning. But so far am happy with it. I just wish it was easier to actually contact a human being to ask questions when I am not sure about something and so have to search and keep trying to find what I want.

The first time I downloaded the software, I mistakenly selected the one for use with Microsoft and all features did not work on my Chromebook. After going back I found the correct program for use with Chrome. The only problem I still have is creating my signature which I have described below under features to add.

For a new customer who has only used this program for a short time, It's a bit confusing to find all the necessary information. I am learning, but it's taken some navigation, and I haven't used the help line, because I don't even know the right questions to ask.

I have terrible handwriting and often end up having to tear up forms and fill them out again. Especially if the spaces provided to write information are small. This program has worked perfectly for every single document that i have used it for. Very user friendly. Aligns text precisely. Overall extremely satisfied with it.

Editing pdfs without the need to convert them What i like the most about this software is the fact that when i have to edit a pdf wher i lost my source document i dont have to convert it in order to edit it, i can just simply use pdf filler editing functions and that's it. Took some getting used to as it, also in some cases is complicated to get the text in the place i selected to put it
