Hamad hi! What went wrong? Please add more details to your review when you have a minute. Or please email us, it's [email protected]. Our Support is online 24/7, we assure you that you'll get a response from us within hours.
Regarding the reviews though: most of reviews here (over 85%) are actually coming from the in-product integration, meaning those are left by our customers while they are logged in in our system and are actually using pdfFiller, for real. These are not bots or something, they are verified users, often with months if not years of experience with pdfFiller.
Hello there! We would really appreciate if you could more details/context to this review so that we could provide a resolution/detailed reply.
If you need to contact our Billing, please email [email protected].

Wasted a lot of time before finding out…
Wasted a lot of time before finding out it was not free and I needed an account should have started there instead of letting me use the tool, then force me to pay to print or save my work.

Our apologies if any confusion with the conditions, Will!
Account is indeed required because pdfFiller is a cloud-based solution, with each user getting their own cloud space.
Payment is not required at that point, actually.
Please note that once you register an account (which is free), our 30-day free trial period gets activated instantly, and this first month is entirely on us, no charges whatsoever.
Hope this helps!
Dirty business practices. Avoid.
Appearing at the top of Google when searching "PDF Editor" this website loaded. I changed one word and clicked the print button - which was when I was then blocked by a paywall. - To allow somebody to upload their data to something before making it clear that it is useless without payment is disingenuous, dishonest and skirting around what is legally acceptable with GDPR.

Josh hi! Our apologies if any confusion!
If you need to change one word (or several) in one document (or several), this will be totally covered by our 30-day free trial period, actually. Sorry if this option was not immediately obvious!
You'd need to register an account (which is free), then free trial gets activated. There are no paywalls in this first month, we assure you.
Re compliance, on a side note: pdfFiller is a GDPR-compliant solution. However, compliance starts when you create an account and log in. Before that, we do not actually have any access or visibility to your data at all.
It says it is entirely free without signup but after completing editing, it asks to sign up and subscribe one of their plan!!!
Dirty platform!

Monty hi! Sorry if any confusion. Could you please tell us more about this situation? Where exactly did you see this information? Cause this description is not correct, you are totally right.
pdfFiller requires a sign up/log in because it's a cloud-based services (every user gets a personal cloud space of their own).
Regarding the free/not free part: the first month (first 30 days, to be exact) is entirely on us since it's covered by the free trial period. Paid plan is activated once the free trial expires.
Hope this helps! If you have any further questions, feel free to reach us at [email protected].

Such a waste of time
They promote their product as fully free, but only reveal that nothing is actually free when you try to download your edited document.
Such a waste of time.
Reply from pdfFiller2026-06-19
Gökhan hi and sorry if any confusion! We are usually promoting our free trial period of 30 days (we do not have a fully free plan, and never had, actually).
This first month is entirely on us, we assure you. Download is obviously under the hood.
