"LOVE pdfFiller! Affordable, Time-Saving PDF Solution with No-Brainer Setup"
5/5
What do you like best about pdfFiller?

I love pdfFiller for several reasons. The price is super affordable, I paid $92 for the full year and I use it probably twice a week. It saves me so much time by eliminating the need to get in-person signatures from my clients and families (I have 12 clients with varying schedules so it's tough to track everyone down by deadlines) . I also enjoy the time stamps feature, which is important as I work in the medical field with HIPAA regulations; it helps me show exactly when something was signed and reviewed. Plus, I get follow-up emails, which save me time as well. The initial setup was super easy, which I loved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about pdfFiller?

sometimes I have issues when a document already has the click boxes that when I upload it, it clicks all the boxes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless PDF Management with User-Friendly Interface"
4.5/5
What do you like best about pdfFiller?

I find pdfFiller really helpful for creating and modifying PDFs, which is usually very challenging unless you have Adobe or something similar. pdfFiller makes it really easy to merge documents, fax, and get signatures. I love how intuitive and easy it is to use, with all options being very accessible and user-friendly. The initial setup was very easy too, even though I had a colleague helping me, I remember it being smooth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about pdfFiller?

Perhaps the filing system could be improved, so maybe have some more options for use of folders and ways to store different documents. At times I also have a hard time deleting documents. I tried just the other day and couldn't get the 'select all' thing to work for some reason. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Time-Saving and Efficient PDF Solution"
4/5
What do you like best about pdfFiller?

I really value pdfFiller because it has made the process of sending my private practice forms so much smoother. I love the feature where I can send a fillable PDF straight to the family, which is much better than using paper. I've also created different packs of forms for different types of clients and customized those into PDFs. I use pdfFiller for school contracting too, and it makes signing and sending documents for signatures very easy. When I'm hiring employees, having a separate PDF filled with onboarding forms saves me from the mess of emails and printing. Overall, pdfFiller is very useful and time-saving because I can literally click a button and send documents off, and I love that completed documents come straight back to my email, making it easy to track and organize everything. I like that there are templates available which save me time by not having to search for forms outside of pdfFiller. It's helpful for quickly filling out forms like a W-9 before sending them off. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about pdfFiller?

Sometimes when I have created a fillable PDF document as a template of my own, it makes me have to assign each and every fillable area to the email manually. That's been a little bit of a hassle for me. I would really appreciate if there was just one button that I can use to assign all assigned areas to one email. Additionally, one thing that I will say is that my employee does not have the access that I have and I was unable to resolve that issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy Online PDF Editing and E-Signing in One Place"
5/5
What do you like best about pdfFiller?

What I like most about PDFFiller is how easy and convenient it is to use. It lets me edit, fill out, and sign documents all in one place without needing to print anything. I also like that it works online, so I can access my documents from anywhere, whether I’m on my phone or computer. That flexibility makes it really useful for school and personal tasks.

Another thing I appreciate is how simple the tools are. I can add text, highlight, or even upload my signature without it feeling confusing or overwhelming. It’s straightforward and doesn’t take much time to figure out.

The most helpful feature is being able to fill out and sign forms electronically. Instead of printing, scanning, or mailing documents, I can complete everything digitally in just a few minutes.

It’s also really helpful that I can create fillable forms and organize documents in one place. This saves time and keeps everything neat, especially when dealing with multiple assignments or important paperwork. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about pdfFiller?

1. Confusing subscription and billing structure

I’m often unclear about how free trials convert into paid subscriptions, and I’ve had trouble canceling or managing my plan. I also feel the monthly pricing is relatively high compared to alternatives.

2. Paywall on basic or expected features

I’ve noticed that essential functions (such as downloading files or completing certain edits) are locked behind paid plans, which can feel restrictive.

3. Performance issues with large or complex files

When I work with large PDFs or documents with many pages, the platform can slow down and become less responsive.

4. The interface can feel cluttered or unintuitive at times

While it’s generally user-friendly, the interface sometimes feels crowded, which makes it harder to quickly find specific tools or features.

5. Limitations in advanced editing and functionality

I’ve run into limitations such as limited customization for complex forms, links not working properly after export, and restrictions when combining multiple pages.

6. Occasional usability and workflow friction

At times, it feels like I have to “jump through hoops” just to save documents or finish tasks, which slows down my workflow.

Overall, PDFFiller is a capable and widely used tool, but its biggest weaknesses for me are pricing transparency, access to core features, and consistent performance. If these areas were improved, it would make a noticeable difference in my experience—especially as a student and casual user who needs quick, affordable solutions.

Response from Rina P. of pdfFiller

Hello Vivian! Many thanks for taking time to write such an impressively long review! This is so helpful!

We would like to address comments 1/2 in the dislike part right away:

The logic with the free trial period is quite simple, actually: the first 30 days are the free trial, for any first-timer. After this free trial, you can be either on our monthly plan (paying month by month), or on our annual one (paying once a year). Annual plan is indeed a bit discounted and is more beneficial (thus majority of customers choose it, tbh).

Secondly and most importantly, pdfFiller absolutely does not lock/hide any separate features behind any paywalls. Free trial period and our paid plans have exactly the same features, no limitations. Downloading is never paid separately, we assure you. Neither is any other feature/functionality.

If you have any further questions / have concerns/ can't find the right feature, please email us, it's support@pdffiller.com. Thank you.

"Effortless Document Management with pdfFiller"
5/5
What do you like best about pdfFiller?

I use pdfFiller for updating and filling in forms for a driving school, and it makes the documentation of Road Tests quick and easy with templates for everything. I find pdfFiller easier to use than other similar services because it's clear and to the point. Transitioning from Adobe to pdfFiller was easy, and I much prefer it over Adobe because finding tools in Adobe is a huge challenge in having to search around the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about pdfFiller?

I would love to see static 'buttons' on the page for frequently-used tasks, such as split documents; combine, edit or add fields; edit or add/remove text; highlight information, add tips, and send for signature all on one, easily accessible page. I have the pdfFiller app on my Mac, but can't seem to set it as my default PDF editor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Rina P. of pdfFiller

Kristen hi! Many thanks for your review! Happy to be of help with document management!

Please email support@pdffiller.com, one of our agents will help you with setting pdfFiller as the default PDF editor on your Macbook, no problem at all!

"User-Friendly, Efficient for Document Management"
4/5
What do you like best about pdfFiller?

I like being able to create contacts that we send estimates to regularly. pdfFiller has a very user-friendly interface and makes editing documents a breeze. Having the ability to auto-send docs to other members of my team once a customer has signed is essential for our organization. With pdfFiller, I can create forms from scratch and edit templates, which was a key reason for switching from DocuSign. The initial setup was very easy, and it helps in keeping all our requests for signatures in one space for review. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about pdfFiller?

I do wish that I could send a notification to the designer that the documents have been sent to their customer. I find that sometimes when I am adding text input boxes that I am having to resize them, but that is minor. I also would like the option for Canadian content such as Postal Code and CDN phone numbers. I would like the ability to rearrange the sidebar menu to suit me and what I utilize most. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Rina P. of pdfFiller

Hi there! Many thanks for your feedback, glad to be of help with efficient document management!

Regarding Canadian formatting for postal codes and phone numbers though: what exactly seems to be the problem? We actually have both team members and customers across all Canadian provinces, and this does not seem to be reported earlier. Please email us more details when you have a minute? It's support@pdffiller.com, thank you.

"Intuitive and Economical for PDF and E-Signatures"
5/5
What do you like best about pdfFiller?

I use pdfFiller in my business for filling and modifying PDF forms and for E signatures. It makes it easy to create the forms I need or modify the forms I already have. I use the e-sign daily. What I like most about pdfFiller is its ease of use and reasonable pricing. The initial setup was very simple; just log in, drag the PDF over, and start working. It's very intuitive. I absolutely recommend pdfFiller. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about pdfFiller?

The only thing I have any issues with is when working with forms that are already fillable. When trying to fill a form that is already fillable, I have to open the text spot outside of the 'fillable' spot, then drag it into that spot. So I have started just resaving the original PDF as not fillable, then importing into pdfFiller. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Rina P. of pdfFiller

Many thanks for your feedback, Frank! Glad to be of help with PDF editing and electronic signatures!

And also, so glad to read you've figured the workaround with the fillable fields! This is actually what our agents would recommend for such cases :)

"User-Friendly Document Editing with Room for Improvement"
5/5
What do you like best about pdfFiller?

I use pdfFiller to fill out documents and send them to customers for filling out, review, and signature. It makes the process of filling out documents much more efficient and allows me to fix mistakes that someone might have made when filling them out. I really like the way I can completely edit the entire document, and it's really user-friendly. It's valuable because if a mistake is made on a paper form, I'd have to start over with a new document, but with pdfFiller, I can edit and fix any mistakes in real-time. Also, the initial setup was very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about pdfFiller?

I wish it had the ability for me to fill out most of the information on a document, and then save it so that I can duplicate the same document when I need to send it off to a customer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Rina P. of pdfFiller

Many thanks for your feedback! Glad to hear you've found document editing in pdfFiller to be user-friendly!

Regarding what you've mentioned in the dislike part: all of it is actually very much doable in pdfFiller (fillable fields and their placement wherever you prefer, duplicating a document and creation of a template from it, etc.). If you need our help with that, please click on the question mark in the top right corner of the screen in pdfFiller and then proceed to live chat window. Or you can also email, it's support@pdffiller.com (we are online 24/7!).

"Secure and Easy Document Management"
5/5
What do you like best about pdfFiller?

I like that pdfFiller is easy to use, which is helpful for our diaper bank program and partners when completing documents to submit online. I really like the document completion and submission options, especially the ability to create a page in our form where partners can upload documents. This serves as a way for them to upload documents they may not have created or completed online. For instance, one of our documents allows them to print a blank form, fill it out by hand, and upload it at their convenience. I find that option very nice. Additionally, the link-to-fill option is utilized by several staff and their clients within our organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Document Signing and Sharing"

What do you like best about pdfFiller?

I love using pdfFiller for signing and filling PDF documents for business agreements. It provides a great way to fill out PDFs that can be clearly read and easily shared for multiple signatures. I appreciate the ease of use and the quick connection to my Google drives, which allows me to share documents seamlessly. I like that I can quickly load the needed PDFs, complete them, and then save them back into the drive without needing to download them to my computer both before and after completion. The initial setup was very easy; I just created an account and started using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
