i loved this. i was confused though at first about whether i could use a free trial or if i would be charged. i would recommend highlighting the free trial offer upfront to get more people to use this great product.

Great product.
Good interface gives you all the options you need in one place. Clear and easy to understand. The only downside is remembering its a browser only interface, remembering the product name and having to navigate to the URL to begin. Not an issue for a daily user, but if you use only intermittently like I do, I have to make myself a reminder. To that end, I think its a little expensive for a casual user; but I do still like the interface so much that it overrides my concern on cost.

honestly was harder to understand the first time, but I came back a few weeks later and in just that time it had become much more intuitive and to me seems to flow perfectly!

I needed a document for work
I needed a document for work. I didn't have a template so I googled the form. PdfFiller popped up from the search and had a copy of the form I needed. PdfFiller made my work so easy! I'm doing the trial now. If all works out I will keep it. It seems to be a great business tool.

Moving and transportation with pdf filler
I don't have any problems to solve with my company using this. I use it for digital signatures and creating pdf.
I like how easy this program was to use. It works like and editor should. The utilities within the program and the ability to do digital signatures, makes this a program any business should use.
The price is a bit high, and you have to keep the subscription for it, or you lose what you've done. If it could be a reasonable price one time,instead of a company making money every month off it. I personally like a program you download on the computer instead of relying on the cloud.

Instructions and Help about Add Text Fields in PDF 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. To place the necessary data into the document, open it in the editor, and press “Add Fillable Fields”. You can locate specially designated areas where the certain types of data must be entered including text, date, signature, number, image and checkbox. To add a Text field, click the Text icon, then click the document 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 a field by clicking the trash can. All field types can be moved, resized or deleted this way.
To add more fields, simply click the icon again and repeat. To customize a field, select it, then click “Text Settings” to expand options. Field name is an easy way for you to identify the field. However, only you will see this text. The default text will appear in the field when others fill the form. It can be replaced by those completing the form unless you lock the field.
You can add hints or instructions to each field, and they will appear whenever you hold your mouse over or select that field when filling the document. Max characters and lines allow you to limit how much information can be put into any text field. Any text field can be marked as “Required” and a warning will appear to anyone filling the form if they attempt to submit it to you with an empty required field. If any of your new fields contain non-default text, you have the option to clear them or continue with text in these fields. You can rearrange the order in which users navigate the fields by clicking the Order tab and dragging the fields into the desired order. The form can be navigated when being filled by clicking the arrows above each field or pressing Tab.
When you’re done adding fillable fields, click Save at the top of the page, and you can then fill or share the document.
