pdfill continues to be a tool present in my pc due to its great variety of functions, however for basic and quick operations it is not my first choice due to the presence of mor modern applications.

Pros

PDFill offers you tons of tools, and it is completely free. Is a good tool in the hands of a professional.

Cons

PDFill is not a suitable for inexperienced users due to its unintuitive and messy interface. The jnterface has not been medernized and is very reminiscent of software from the times of windows XP. PDFill. It is fragmented into three different applications.

Highly recommend. Those who can afford it should definitely upgrade!

Pros

I've been using PDFill and Editor for more than 8 years now and I love how it is FREE and gives me all the functionality I need without having to pay for an upgrade. I love it so much that I decided to spend time searching for a place to write a good review for this product. Kudos to the PlotSoft team for making the world a better place and saving us hours of headaches with the product you created and so generously share. Please keep it free!! :) Lol

Cons

It's a bit clunky and the interface looks like it's from the 90's but I can't complain about something so awesome and free.

There is non-existent customer service. After purchasing, the license code didn't work and I have emailed multiple times about it. So far no reply, no solution, and no refund.

Pros

Free version is good for a lot of things except PDF editing

Cons

Non-existent customer service. License issues

Desde que hago uso de PDFill he podido editar un sinnúmero de documentos y adaptarlas a mis necesidades.

Pros

Lo que más me gusta de PDFill es lo fácil que mediante la misma se puede añadir encabezados o pie de páginas, agregar marca de agua, convertir el PDF en imagen, agregar páginas al documento, entre muchas opciones más, que hacen de dicha herramienta más interesante.

Cons

He quedado encantado con PDFill. En realidad, desconocía que existiese una herramienta que fuera capaz de permitir modificar un PDF de modo tan completo.

The paid PDF tools are relatively expensive, and my business would need every employee to have a license, PDFill is very affordable and includes key tools such as merging PDF files and file encryption.

Pros

I mostly use it to merge multiple PDF files into one document. This is great for merging a bunch of receipts into one document for an expense report, or merging pages from different sources (MS Word, Excel, a scanned document) into one PDF document.

Cons

The user interface is bare bones, but easy to use. If I needed a more fancy user interface, I would buy a more expensive tool for the job.

I don't recall having any real issues with PDFill. It always worked find, and it was relatively user friendly. I like that it allows you to save in the editing format, but also as a full-fledged pdf if you prefer. I think I have had a good experience with PDFill, and although I have been using adobe lately, I still go back to PDFill for certain forms and will continue to use the product as needed.

Pros

PDFill was very cheap to purchase (I think it was about $20), and it definitely served its purpose of enabling me to fill in forms in pdf format. I also like it because it is very easy to use to enter fields on forms and other documents.

Cons

There is really nothing "not to like" but maybe that it does not have all the options that adobe offers with its product. I don't think that is really a fair comparison because I am paying almost as much for adobe on a monthly basis that I paid in full for PDFiller.

Alternatives considered

[Adobe Acrobat Reader](https://www.capterra.com/p/170833/Acrobat-Reader-DC/)

Reasons for choosing PDFill

I chose PDFill because of the price, and I was pleased with it for a long time until I needed more functionality than it had with respect to creating and editing pdf documents. Now I use both PDFill and the much more costly adobe (I pay a monthly fee of about $15.93 for adobe). Adobe does offer more functionality, but PDFill definitely services its purpose for a great price.

It works. It's easy. What more could you ask of a PDF program.

Pros

I use the free version to create fillable invoices for my products and it's pretty simple to use for basic forms.

Cons

I don't like having to download extra software for PDF forms, but it works well for what I use it for.
