A must have for truckers!

5.0 4 months ago

Comments: I have used this app for 5 years and will continue to for years to come- well worth paying for!

Pros:

I love that I can sign and return documents, and fax things as well. I save everything to my app as well as my iCloud- it’s very convenient for a business that’s done on the road.

Cons:

I don’t really have any complaints, everything I have needed has been available.

Alternatives Considered: Adobe Acrobat Reader

Reasons for Switching to pdfFiller: I feel this one met my needs a lot more than Adobe would have.

Good but not great

3.0 4 months ago

Comments: I have been using pdfFiller for 3 or 4 years. I think the concept is excellent and if processes were intuitive and consistent and there was much less of a lag, pdfFiller would be an excellent product.

Pros:

It can do pretty much everything I need it to with respect to creating and filling forms. Low cost.

Cons:

Processes seem to change a lot. I have to keep figuring things out because of changes that occur every few months. Things aren’t always intuitive. Also, it is clunky and very slow.

Great alternative to Adobe.

5.0 4 months ago

Comments: I've been using this program for...maybe four years now and it does exactly what I need.

Pros:

Economical way of editing and altering .pdf files.

Cons:

I don't have any issues with pdfFiller. It exceeds my expectations - I can even get docs notarized using this program! Now...if I only knew how I could be one of those notaries, that would be helpful.

PDFfiller works very well, but could benefit from some detail improvements

4.0 4 months ago

Comments: I find the “customize message” a little frustrating because it always defaults to the default. Anytime I make a change and wish to save the overall message for future use, it has just never worked.

Pros:

Initially, I went with pdfFiller because of pricing and usability. I’ve continued with it since then because it works for me in my large and small document signings.

Cons:

I wish that there was a quick way to find all versions of the contract, including signed versions, in the same docs folder that I’ve organized by project. I produce films and this would make a huge difference. I also wish there was a way to do batch downloads of signed documents as PDFs for filing with legal entities.

Alternatives Considered: Docusign and Adobe Acrobat Reader

Reasons for Switching to pdfFiller: Pricing was important, as well as ease of use.

Comments: It's been soooo helpful! It has made such a difference day to day. Very polished, professional product.

Pros:

Easy to use - fair price. From day one, minute one, you could produce exactly what you needed!

Cons:

I don't like the template process - not so simple

Alternatives Considered: Adobe Acrobat Reader

Pros:

Outstanding edit of uploaded documents of all sixes and formats. Superior signature sharing capabilities.

Cons:

I dont like that all pdf files are automatically uploaded to pdf filler. Many are useless and too large to be on the program.

Alternatives Considered: Docusign

Reasons for Switching to pdfFiller: Cheaper and much more powerful and solves all my needs for products.

A Great App for Medical Claim Forms

5.0 4 months ago

Comments: I am very happy with pdffiller. It makes creating claim forms easy and quick. It only takes a few minutes to complete a form. For an established patient it is even quicker. I have never had a claim form returned for incorrect or insufficient information.

Pros:

It is user-friendly and simple to learn. It prints beautifully on a HICFA-1500 claim form.

Cons:

Sometimes it is difficult to get the information exactly into the box (not too high or too low).
