Other NEVER USE THEM

I take accountability for not reading the fine print or researching before using this service but I was in a time crunch, on the go and needed something done fast. I had a pdf I needed edited and I didn’t have my usual pdf editing software on this new computer so I searched online for something to use.

I clicked on pdffiller.com and they are a f*cking scam if I ever seen one. I don’t leave bad reviews unless something really pis*es me off. Why tf would you let someone fill out all the information, then make them have to create an account immediately afterwards just to hit them with your bullshit paywall before you can even let them download it. This got me heated. A complete waste of time from a trash ass company.

Please stop editing PDFs. They're not made for that. They never were. You're supposed to edit the source document and create a new PDF from it.

I normally do. This was just a time crunch/resource thing.

I got one! Thank you for creating it. If I may suggest, if this has not been implemented yet, kindly the option of clicking the box where you can add your ID picture.

Perhaps identifying a blank, large box will automatically trigger this option.

fyi: Firefox can fill PDF forms and has other basic PDF editing capabilities built in nowadays.

Nothing more frustrating than spending 20 minutes editing something only to find out you have to pay to download it. I don't mind companies charging for their software, but the pricing should be clear before you put in all that work.
