Why convert documents with pdfFiller?
More than a PDF converter
Upload a document in DOC, DOCX, RTF, PPT, PPTX, JPEG, PNG, JFIF, XLS, XLSX, or TXT format and instantly convert it to a high-quality, editable PDF. You can edit or sign your file, turn it into a fillable form, split it, or merge it with another document.
Convert documents in batches
Bundle several documents together and convert them all in one go - no need to process each file individually. Bulk conversion saves time and helps you organize your digital documents.
Preview and manage pages
Before converting your document, review and remove any unnecessary pages to keep it as clean as possible. Excluding pages you don’t need is a great way to reduce file size without sacrificing quality.
pdfFiller scores top ratings on review platforms
I was upset about a billing issue. Customer service reached out to me immediately and had my issue resolved in a very short period of time. I appreciate the way they handled it and followed up with me. Great customer service!
Amazing software except for the licensing. I just want to pay for when I need it. For a business the month to month is great, but for a single time user it is a bit tougher.
No way to easily add additional pages in a template I used. Had to keep erasing everything to start new page. “Next” button skips all over the page, so this isn’t tablet-friendly. Waste of my annual subscription fee.
So far all worked really well, the only thing that could be still improved is to have the possibility to change the font size, when filling in a document
Features & functionality
I use it a lot when responding to discovery requests
The variety of features & functionality for PDF's
Not easy to navigate website, site not visually appealing
I like having this resource as an option.
I like that it offers a clean, crisp look for documents.
The forms or finished forms look very neat when they are typed. It seems like a great option for persons to use when their handwriting is not legible.
The words do not stay within the lines. I used the software recently and the office manager had to retype the form because the words did not fit.
Really wonderful app
Really wonderful app! It gives you the possibility to edit every element of the PDF you need - from the text (with its exact font) to images and more. I`m really very satisfied with it!
Need clients to complete a form and/or sign a document; pdfFiller is the perfect tool.
I needed a way for clients to access a fillable PDF via link multiple times throughout a process and give access to this same form to other team members to sign off on different stages of the process.
pdfFiller made this very easy to do I was able to teach this to my team in 10 minutes so we were able to integrate this into our workflow.
Easy to use, even if you have no experience creating fillable forms or verified digital signatures.
It only manages very basic workflows, however, their sister app AirSlate does full workflow management, so if you need something a bit more robust, that's a great option!
I really like your product. I am not very computer savvy so I would greatly appreciate a webinar to help with navigating your website. That being said I have used your chat feature several times and your agents have all been awesome...very helpful!!
