Disappointing website
March 28, 2017

I used their website which offered the conversion for which I spent 2 hours editing my document. At the end, you must pay to get your document without their watermark. There was no or very small/unreadable prior warning that I would have to pay to access my document.

Very disappointed and shocked

I am using this tool for 5 months and must say that electronic papers dramatically save my time in creating invoices, bills, contacts and paying taxes. It is paid, yes, but my time is much more expensive and this tool definitely helps to save it!

First off about the payment system and the bad reviews.It's not free. Such a premium service with thousands of forms and ease of use, there's no way this service can be free unless it was bogged down with ads.

As for the service, I found it helpful in every aspect of filling out PDFs online, and it never slowed anything down. Very helpful!

I am very mpressed
June 30, 2017

I had a need to fill few documents and used pdffiler for that in search engines. I was thinking that it is really free but after filling they required a payment. After charge I have contacted customer service and said that I don't need it anymore to cancel my subscription. And they refunded all my money back! Very good impressions about this company.

Useful... when it works
October 27, 2018

This program works great, but cooooonstantly refuses to load (even if left for 10+ minutes with 100mbps internet).

Freezes quite often, the Open With Google Drive function does not work, support had no solution for it.

If you don't mind dealing with a brutal amount of bugs, go for it, but be warned this software is chalk full of them and will likely waste hours of your time trying to find work arounds.

I give them 5 stars because that wasn't their fault that Google says that they are free. I think, that's some engine issues.
Anyway, the product is very useful and has very big amount of tools for working with almost any document. Not only with pdfs actually.

No, i'm not a meth head, and this extension makes downloading one of your own docs from Google drive next impossible without buying something. Super annoying.

Get it for a one and done home use, then log into setting and at the bottom of your account settings is the delete button. F these dorks.

They said that it is paid and I must to say that price is good enough for amount of granted tools and possibilities. Yeah, they have some technical issues sometimes but I see that they work hard on improvements.

Business is paying for its positive reviews through Amazon Mechanical Turk. Very Shady practice and invalidates any positive review posted as you cannot prove if it was a real review or one that they paid someone to post. This is also a violation of Amazon mTurk's ToS.

Downloaded because it said "free" bit wasn't: I wasn't expecting that it would be "free" totally but expected to be nagged or have limitations (ie watermarked prints). In fact you cannot even try it for a single printout/download without paying $6 a month. So much better on the market that actually are free to use, edit, print or send with a better interface. Looks niceish though bit there again, other that actually are free look and feel better. All in, look elsewhere than this with it's false advertising as free.

Very good for pdf
September 7, 2017

I am using pdf filler in my legal business and seems like I don't need papers anymore. Well, sending papers by e-mail is not everywhere available but I can print it (and it is completely filled) and send by snail mail.

After filling in document and saving, I've waited 20 min. For processing to stop. Is this normal? Overall, I like the software and the ease in filling in information. Waiting for the software to save so that I can print is a bummer. It's slowing down my productivity.

PDFfiller is a great application. It's easy to use, the interface is intuitive and it does exactly what it says it will. Some people are coming her and giving low reviews because the app isn't free but it doesn't claim to be and, for the price, it's a great deal.

Worked great
August 11, 2015

Sure it wasn't free but the cost was as cheap as could be expected when you're getting such an excellent service. Uploaded my documents and was filling them out within minutes. Zero hassle, zero errors and once I was finished everything looked perfect! I've recommended them to my family and friends to use and they haven't had any complaints either.

This website only helps you do something that is free and easy to do on other sites. This site will charge you as soon as you get past the initial document creation. Do not use.

Sorry if any confusion caused, Stephen! Actually, this is not how it works, sorry if this was not immediately obvious. If this is your first time/day using pdfFiller, you are automatically eligible for a 30-day free trial period. You would need to register an account BUT there are absolutely no charges from us during this first month of use. The first charge goes on the first day of the second month, unless you cancel and unsubscribe earlier, of course. Hope this helps!

Site is misleading. They lead you into the site by appearing to be an official government website. When you fill in the form and try to print it you're redirected to purchase the software. Now they have your personal info and now you feel had.

The website tells you it's "free" and has you fill out your pdf, but once you want to save it they make you register and enter your credit card number or you lose all your work. This completely wastes your time if you don't want to enter your credit card number to edit one pdf. I don't care that they want to make you pay for the service, but they advertise it as free when it isn't and try to get your credit card number so you forget to cancel the trial. Very scummy behavior.

Michael hi! We are sorry if any confusion experienced with pdfFiller! Our site (and all ads) actually says "free trial", not just "free". You indeed would need to register an account and set up a password first, before using pdfFiller. However, you do NOT need to pay anything during the free trial period.
Since you are mentioning one PDF file only, this free trial option should be completely sufficient. You can edit, e-sign, send, download and more! Just do not forget to cancel and unsubscribe once you are done, that's it. Hope this helps!

I had something like 2 months of using pdffiler for making esign on my contracts. Have decided what people think about it and I was really surprised by reviews! I see a lot "scam alerts" but didn't see any solid evidence about that. Not really sure that such reviews are worth of trust.

Program allows you to fill in a PDF nicely and is very user-firendly. Why the 1 star? Because it blocks you from downloading or printing the PDF (i. E. anything that would make it usable) unless you PAY A FEE and sign up. Also, before they inform you that you must pay, you are forced to sign in with FB, Google, or create a new account with them.

This is a bad business model for legitimate business. In short pdf filler is terrible and I wish I were a hacker so I could rid the world of this blemish on it.
