What our customers say about pdfFiller
See for yourself by reading reviews on the most popular resources:
PDFfiler allowed me to create a far superior MO Real Estate Disclosure form. It allowed me to edit to my heart's content, rather than scratching handwritten stuff out and ending up with such a mess that i had to hand write another copy. The end result was far more professional looking than a handwritten form. About a 5 minute learning curve and the software functioned perfectly. After editing, I was able to save the pdf to my computer, send it by email, print it, and some other stuff that I didn't use. PDFfiler can also get remote signatures.

pdfFiller is user-friendly and the site is easy to navigate. I love the fact that a function stays the same until you change it, eg. a font size and format. However, I would like the option to use all the Fonts that I have installed on my own computer. When a page is duplicated, I'd love it if the 'changes' made to the original using pdfFiller, could also be duplicated rather than simply a duplication of the original document. I also can't seem to find a way to cut and paste text to apply it in a different area of the document, which means that the process of replicating a change is more time-consuming, but this could be my current unfamiliarity with the software. I was impressed that within a couple of hours of use, I was offered the option to attend a webinar to improve my understanding.

Signer Authentication and Security. Two-Factor Authentication
Has anyone attempted to steal your online information lately? We understand that while many of you like the convenience of logging in to your online accounts with a single click, others are more interested in enhanced security options. In order to help prevent phishing for your login credentials, pdfFiller is one of the first document management services to develop an account login with two-factor authentication.
If you go to our login page, you’ll notice that there are now four different login options available. The first is the traditional email and password combination. Remember that if you click on the checkbox next to ‘Remember Me’ and close pdfFiller without logging out, the next time you open pdfFiller, you will be taken directly into your Medics page. There is also an option to retrieve your password here using an email or phone number. For those of you for whom security is a priority, pdfFiller also allows you to log in with your phone number. This recently added option, available to those who have a phone number saved in their account information, requires a two-factor authentication process, similar to what you may have encountered when dealing with your online bank accounts. Simply click the ‘Login with Your Phone’ button, and you’ll be taken to a page where you can enter a phone number. After clicking ‘Send Pin’ you’ll receive a code via SMS. Enter this code and click ‘Log in’ and you’ll be taken directly to your Medics page. This method, which requires two keys for account entry, helps prevent phishing and makes it much more difficult for a stranger to access your personal information.

Did you know?
New in version 1.8: Support for login form authentication was added to make:auth in MakerBundle. Make:auth generates a login/logout route, a login form template and a Guard authenticator. The Guard authentication system is powerful, and you can customize your authenticator class to do whatever you need.
Authentication technology provides access control for systems by checking to see if a user's credentials match the credentials in a database of authorized users or in a data authentication server. Users are usually identified with a user ID, and authentication is accomplished when the user provides a credential, for example a password, that matches with that user ID. Organizations use authentication to validate users who log into their websites.
At one time, 86% of more than 2 million breached passwords were identical to passwords that had already been breached. The solution to security on your entire computer system or on your smartphone is a form of secondary authentication. Biometrics is a term that refers to measuring unique individual characteristics such as the retina, the iris, fingerprints or even the face. Multi-Factor Authentication MFA allows you to use passwords for a longer length of time between password resets.
