What our customers say about pdfFiller

See for yourself by reading reviews on the most popular resources:
Would like it if curser could "snap" to alignment, both vertical and horizontal, and then being able to maybe 'nudge' characters after typing using arrow keys. The red dashed line is very helpful, but getting things looking perfectly aligned takes careful precision with the mouse.

Works OK so far. I'd like to be able to move/drag text so it is better aligned (After using it for a while I found I could make it work like I wanted it to). It was nor intuitive; it required considerable fiddling with

An all in one PDF app for your files One of the most complete and useful tool to work with your pdf files. The amount of options to edit and do things with your PDF files is just amazing, for example in the editor feature you can add text, modify tables, add checkmarks, search and replace, edit text, makes notes and so on, and like this there are a lot of options for your file, like the possibility of add a personal sign, or insert and image, or make a password, this a really amazing app for your PDF fIles. I really do not have any complain about this app, because it comes with all the tools that you need to work with your PDF files, even the free version as powerful as the pay one.
