What our customers say about pdfFiller
See for yourself by reading reviews on the most popular resources:
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.

There is a learning curve that I did not anticipate since I have been a long time user of Abobe. Your Live Chat customer support staff are very helpful, knowledgable and friendly!
2018-07-03
I really like working with the filler although there could be better control in the editing. I believe it could be more intuitive as to the fields which are potentially fillable and place the cursor within those lines automatically. It is fussy to try to line it all up.

Awesome App
I love how easy it is to use. I'm not a tech savvy guy and this has given me absolutely no problems.
Honestly it does what i need it to do. NO complaints

Would be better if you didn't have to input personal card information for a one time use on a free item. Other than that, good experience because it was easy to navigate.
2024-01-03
It is easy, so relax and just do what you need to do.
I am so very, very pleased with how easy the program is to use. I tried others for this emergency situation and was frustrated out of my mind with the complicated programs. This one is easy, easy and very effective.

I only just started using it
I only just started using it, so only 4 stars, but I don't see any issues other than the lack of fonts in the signature section. Seems to be a solid app.
2021-06-22
Dealing with this company was truly amazing. I have never had such professional response from the customer service of any company. The customer service rep was such a gentleman and solved my problem immediately. I would highly recommend this company!

What do you like best?
It is very easy to use. You can move/resize text, revise previously changed documents, add digital or scanned signatures, and then share it by email, SMS, fax, etc. If I was going to design such a service, this is how I would do it.
What do you dislike?
The only dislike I suppose is the small annual fee; only thing I can think of.
Recommendations to others considering the product:

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
I get alot of paper forms to fill out, intended to be completed by hand. But pdfFiller allows me to type on any form, after it has either been uploaded or scanned, and it looks very professional. Nothing can make the document better.

Instructions and Help about Add Checkbox Fields in Forms For Free
pdfFiller makes it easy to create and fill out or modify various types of documents while preserving their original layout. This is made possible with the help of pdfFiller’s advanced “Fillable Fields” feature. There are six types of fields that can be added to make the form fillable: text, number, date, signature, image and checkbox.
The Checkbox fillable field feature makes it easier for the owner of the document to add checkboxes and require the recipient to check the applicable options and not miss anything. To add a checkbox field, click the Checkbox icon, then click where you want to place the field.
You can move the field around by clicking and dragging it, resize it by dragging the dots around the edges, and delete the field by clicking the trash can icon. When adding this fillable field you can customize it: Check the box, “Required field” if filling out a certain checkbox is mandatory; Choose checkbox type; Add a note to serve as a hint; Change the Database Field name; Add a group name if necessary.
Add text in order to make this process clearer for users. It will be shown in a navigation note after you save the changes;
By pressing the “Order” button on the right, you can define the order in which all the checkboxes must be filled. Press “Save” to save all your work on fillable fields.

Did you know?
Check boxes allow users to select more than one choice from a group of possible options. The name identifies what option the checkbox represents for the user. The export value indicates whether the user selects an option in response to a question. Each form field has options that are unique to it.
The first option will create text that, when clicked, downloads a Terms of Service document. The second option will show you how to add your terms/disclaimer text directly to the form no download needed, with special text formatting. To get started, you need to either create a new form or edit an existing form.
