What is a Signable PDF, and why you may need it
pdfFiller's ability to make signable PDF files for different purposes has become a game - changer for individuals and businesses going digital. It takes just a few clicks to create fillable PDF forms and other types of documents you may need to sign and share.
How signable PDF files enhance document exchange and management
Just imagine how easy your workflow becomes for multiple parties when you can just sign PDF documents instead of printing out, signing, and sending paper copies. An electronic or digital signature is legally binding just as a handwritten signature, but the time it takes to digitally sign the document is significantly shorter.
Benefits of creating signable PDF files
Creating a PDF document that is available for multiple signers and collaborators can simplify your customer communications, telemedicine documents, legal agreements, and social surveys. With pdfFIller, creating signable PDF documents is easy and intuitive: any team member can easily create or customize the needed files.
Examples of signable PDF file usage
The need to digitally sign and send signed documents is crucial for many spheres. Here, we gathered some common examples, but of course, the complete list would be much longer.
Commercial offers
In remote collaboration, sending and signing commercial offers to collect signatures is a common practice. With pdfFIller, you can easily create a professional - looking signable PDF document with all the necessary details and fields for signatures.
Сontracts in the legal sphere
Sending legal contracts through traditional mail or in - person meetings is time - consuming and costly. You can speed up the process using signable digital documents by allowing multiple parties to securely sign and return the document electronically.
Medical forms
Telemedicine has become increasingly popular, especially during these challenging times. With pdfFIller, medical professionals can create signable PDF forms that patients can fill out and sign remotely. This not only saves time but also minimizes physical contact for safety reasons.
Event management documentation
Organizing events often involves a lot of paperwork, including registration forms. By using signable PDF files, event organizers can streamline the registration process by allowing attendees to register and sign electronically. This also allows for easy tracking of registrations and reduces the risk of lost or missing paperwork.

pdfFiller scores top ratings on review platforms
The system worked very nicely overall. I have uploaded several documents now and found it very nice for completing PDF and Pre-made fillable Word documents as well. I only had one minor glitch the first time I used it, but have not seen it repeated in several usages since. Overall I would definitely recommend this if you have to regularly fill and edit forms.
I spent approx $70 for PDF Filler, could not find a page rotate icon when I really needed it, then a screen popped up that I would have to spend $120 per year to have this additional function. I was in the midst of needing to reorient some legal documents so paid the additional money. I find this to be less than fair business practice as when I signed up there was no clear breakdown presented on the functions available for different costs.

Took some getting used to the different text box features, but overall good. Worth the annual cost to be able to edit and print PDFs
Pdf Filler and the support…
Pdf Filler and the support representative Dee went above and beyond to make sure we tried all options to make sure I was able to manipulate the document exactly the way I wanted. Thanks again!
Really came through for me when I was charged a subscription fee. Being a small business owner, things get hectic. I had used it for my taxes and meant to cancel it but forgot. They cancelled my subscription and refunded the fee with no questions asked. Too bad it really wasn't a good fit for my business."
I recently saw a charge for a PDF filling service, and I had no memory of signing up for it. December 2020 has not been a picnic for me. I reached out to customer service, and ******* handled it from beginning to end. She even works to get things done when I was not able to get her all the information she needed, due to unfortunate events going on in my life. They have reverse the charges. I don't know if this product works or not, but I do know that their customer service team does or very well if you are patient and persistent with them. That's rare for any product. So, they get five stars from me.
