Chose pdfFiller
Foxit Pro and Adobe, but the all-encompassing solutions available through PDFFiller and other solutions within the same brand are a tremendous value to our organization and the clients we serve.
Chose pdfFiller
There are SO many options for this category. What I will say is that I am not always in control nor am I always able to suggest going PDF. People have their rhymes and reasons foro why they use what they do.
My next most frequently used option is DocuSign, which by all means is …
Chose pdfFiller
Works great. Filling out pdfs used to be a pain in the rear. PDFfiller is a great app and defiantly makes my life a lot easier. Some of the other apps can be a real pain in the rear. It’s just east to use what can I say. I can imagin my phone without it.
Chose pdfFiller
i have never looked for a similar product. i didnt even know similar products existed!
Chose pdfFiller
I have never been sent a legal document via PDFfiller, only Docusign. We only use Docusign for legal and accounting matters because that is what our accountant, solicitor and real estate agent choose to use.
It is my understanding that Docusign is more appropriate for contracts …
Chose pdfFiller
This is my first time using a service like this. I chose this because it was what a previous coworker used to do the job i am doing now. I would not change services as PDFfiller is very easy to use and navigate.
Chose pdfFiller
I've not had to try any others. I was fortunate to stumble on PDFfiller as my first choice and I've never had to use anything else.
Chose pdfFiller
I find it much easier to use and more user friendly than Adobe Acrobat
Chose pdfFiller
They only other one I looked into (but didn't use) was the editor made by Adobe. The price was prohibitive for a small business like mine.
Chose pdfFiller
I have not used many others but in my field there are real estate specific options like Glide or Homelight that offer pdf editing but I don't think they offer as much editing features I need and is not as smooth to operate.
Chose pdfFiller
I have not used other products - PDFfiller was the first one I tried and have kept my annual subscription active since it was so easy to use.
Chose pdfFiller
I googled filling a PDF over 5 years ago, this is the first software that came up. It has been so helpful, easy to use and reasonably priced, we have not looked elsewhere.
Chose pdfFiller
Easier for a small practice and more cost effective
Chose pdfFiller
Docusign is very limited in my opinion. The software itself is also very clunky and skips around too much for my brain to handle. The UI is also confusing and looks sort of pieced together.
Chose pdfFiller
PDFfiller is much less expensive than DocuSign and you will get more for your money. Docusign charges a ton of money for their product. PDFfiller can do basically the same thing.
Chose pdfFiller
I like this better than Adobe but not as much as DocuSign mainly b/c DocuSign is more readily accepted for electronic signature and also DocuSign has better name recognition.
Chose pdfFiller
Adobe isn't user-friendly in my opinion. I can't save a pdf easily when I want to only select certain pages. PDFfiller is much faster and does everything I need and the interface makes more sense to me.
Chose pdfFiller
I have only sued PDFfiller as it met my needs at the time and the price was awesome!
Sertifi
Chose Sertifi
Docusign was good, I used them for about 1-2 years. However we did have some issues with them as far as contract errors when sending out to the clients. There were also issues with capturing credit card information at times from the client and processing it through our billing …
Chose Sertifi
PandaDoc, DocuSign. Honestly they all seem to work for what we were looking for, but Sertifi was a good price and an easy implementation, our use case was probably too basic to really find holes in any of the products in the space because they all seemed to be able to handle …
Chose Sertifi
Sertifi is nicer to the budget with close to the same offerings as Adobe/Docusign. Adobesign and Docusign are a little easier in the configurations with Salesforce (if you don't have a Salesforce developer, you would probably lean toward something other than Sertifi), but if …

Honestly, everyone should know about PDF filler. But then again, its my little secret, lol. I love the fact that I can make edits to PDF seamlessly and professionally. I also love the fact that the documents i need to fill out, sign and return look great. Not like i printed them and then tried to use a phone scanner to send them back. PDF filler is what allows me to travel without a printer

It is well suited for individual transactions or a couple of transactions by the same customer. Most customers making numerous purchases at different times still prefer the paper format, given that they do not need to start from scratch each time.

Pros
  • Its user interface makes it a very easy-to-operate app. Without having adequate technical knowledge any user can operate it easily.
  • It works very fine on adding text on any part of a PDF document and It also allows users to delete pre written text from a pdf file.
  • It can also convert PDF files in other office formats with good quality.

  • Document generation - it's extremely simple to integrate the data needed from our platform onto a document efficiently.
  • Sytem integration - having the ability to integrate to our Salesforce.com platform was a selling point, in that the open API enables us to keep documents tied to specific clients.
  • Email template ability - not only great for document generation, it is also great in its capability for sending and customizing the email templates along side it.

Cons
  • Manually resending the document was a feature that seems to have been taken away.
  • Templates for Send To Sign letters. I basically have to type the same information over and over again each time. I was hoping that it would save it but it doesn't seem to have that function
  • Signer cannot save the document once it has been signed. I have to make sure that there is a note within the email that states that I will send them a copy.
  • Wish it had a way to send me a copy of the email I sent.

  • More fields where we can copy more clients on a quote.

I will always be a faithful PDFfiller customer. The product has saved me a lot of time over the years and I find a great deal of value in the platform. If I move on to another company someday, PDFfiller will be going with me wherever I go.

Usability
I don't fully understand all the features and I could probably be using it better, especially the templates. The organisation of exisiting files could be better (ie similar to folders on a pc/laptop). I haven't really invested much time into exploring it further than filling out forms; There possibly is an organisation solution I haven't discovered yet

If you need help, you can easily search for it and find online tutorials that walk you through how to do specific things step by step. You do not have to read a 20 page manual or sit for a 10 hour training session, it is refreshing that you can take it at your own pace and learn things as you need to

Implementation Rating
When I was hired on by my current company I was already a paying customer, so I just brought it with me. Once I showed our President/Founder how simple it was to use for our contracts, agreements, and NDAs, it has been a staple in our company ever since. That was almost 3 years ago. We've closed quicker because of the speed at which we can turn signed docs around.

People have their rhymes and reasons foro why they use what they do. My next most frequently used option is DocuSign, which by all means is a top performer as well. The ease and universal comfort of PDF Filler resonate on a higher level of subconscious use globally so it becomes second nature like using text messages to video conferencing

Return on Investment
  • Achieved significant ROI immediately, by freeing up our sales staff to actually sell (show properties, prospect new clients, list new houses), rather than spending time printing/scanning/manually completing forms, documents, and legal agreements.
  • Huge quality of life improvement immediately felt by our entire team that uses the application

  • Able to more quickly close deals, spend less time on sales reps hounding people to pay.
