A Review on PdfFiller

If you worked for a company, whether as an employee or as an employer, there's a decent chance you were in a predicament where you had to edit a pdf file at some point or know someone who had to do it. And there's a high possibility you didn't know where to start at first. Fortunately, there is no shortage of Pdf editing sites out there in the market. However, their end result is rarely what they advertise. Today, we will be reviewing a platform which goes by the name of PdfFfiller and in the end I will give my verdict on if it's really worth it.

What is PdfFiller?

PdfFiller is an online document management tool that allows users to create, edit, manage, share, and store PDFs securely. To put it simply, it is a website that offers the service of creating, editing, sharing and storing pdf files all bundled in one. From the customer's perspective, this saves time and money because you don't have to subscribe to multiple platforms that provide such services separately.

Users can not only gain access to their previous files but also look for forms in PdfFiller library and choose the one that best suits their needs. So, you don't need to take the burden of creating a pdf file from the scratch as you can pluck one out from its library.

How to start using it?

To begin with, you have to create an account by going to their website. You have the option to sign up with your Gmail, Apple or Facebook account, all of which takes just seconds. After that, if you want to use its premium features you have to pay for package plan. Such plan is available in 2 tiers which I will go into debt later in this post.

However, there is a way to get access to such features without having to pay. You can sign up for a 30-day free trial by linking your card and see for yourself whether it's for you. After the trial ends you have to pay for the subscription plan if you want to continue using its service.

Is PdfFiller safe?

Given how the giant tech companies steal your data without your permission and use it as a source of funds, it is quite natural to question security of PDF filler as if the vital documents get in the wrong hand the outcomes could be disastrous.

PdfFiller has emphasized on the security part by stating that they take security extremely seriously and have implemented procedures to provide us with the best possible protection.

Its director of engineering has even said "pdfFiller acknowledges its customers’ need for security as a top priority,”

Package plan

Since PdfFilleris a subscription-based platform you need to pay for the package if you want to access its premium features. However, you can opt for a 30-day-free trial as mentioned earlier.

Now lets talk about the 2 tiers of plan and what they offer.

In terms of price:

• Basic: $20 per month with 62.5% off when billed annually.

• Premium: $40 per month with 60% off when billed annually.

In terms of features:

Pros and Cons

Although PdfFiller offers wonderful services it is not free from some shortcomings. But let's start with the pros.

Strength:

1. No app required

Yes, you read that correctly. PdfFiller runs in your browser, so you don't have to worry about installing programs or keeping up with continuous updates that could eat up space on your hard drive making your PC slow.

2. All in 1

It is a pdf toolkit which allows you to create , edit, manage, share and store you pdf files securely.

I have not come across any platform that offers all these features in 1 package.

3. Secure

Since security is one of its top priorities, customers don't have to worry about their documents getting in the wrong hands or being used as data to generate revenue. Security requirements covered by PdfFiller include: data encryption and storage, digital audit trial, 2 factor authentication and password protection.

4. 180 day money back guarantee

I know it sounds too good to be true but it is true. PdfFiller has a policy of giving back your money if your are not satisfied. They believe in "if you're not happy we're not happy," and by contacting their support which by the way is available 24/7 you can get your money back with no question asked.

5. Time saving

One of the things that PdfFiller has that provides it a competitive edge is its library containing tons of forms. So instead of creating one from the beginning you can choose one that meets your criteria and save time.

Weakness:

1. Complicated interface

PdfFiller has many functions to choose from but this can act as a double edge sword. While trying to edit a file you will see so many buttons that it can get a bit complicated. Nonetheless with some practice and tutorial videos you will get a hang of it in no time.

2. A bit pricey

Although PdfFiller is one of the best tools for managing digital documents it's as bit pricey. The premium package goes for $40 a month and $480 a month if not billed annually. That is not cheap by any means and not affordable for everyone.

Trustpilot review

Trustpilot is one of the best sites to check reviews of a product and has been around since 2007. From the reviews of 7509 users PdfFiller got a rating of a whopping 4.6 which is highly impressive.

My Verdict

From my personal experience of using PdfFiller, I have nothing but good things to say about it. It has every function you would want in a pdf management tool and even more. The fact that it has a 180 day money back guarantee and got a impressive trustpilot score of 4.6 there is no question regarding its legitimacy.
