pdfFiller is a web-based document management platform and PDF editor created by airSlate. It enables users to upload, modify, convert, complete, sign, and distribute PDF files through the cloud.
History
Established in 2008 by Vadim Yasinovsky, pdfFiller originally launched as an online tool for completing and submitting PDF forms. Over time, it integrated into airSlate’s extensive portfolio of document automation and workflow solutions. The platform later incorporated features such as electronic signatures, form creation, optical character recognition (OCR), API connectivity, and integration with external applications.
Products and features
pdfFiller delivers capabilities including online PDF editing and markup, creation of interactive forms, electronic signing combined with workflow automation, file format conversion (including Word, Excel, and JPG), access to legal and business templates, collaborative tools, cloud-based storage, mobile applications for both Android and iOS platforms, as well as API connections with various business software. Available through a subscription SaaS model, the service can be accessed via desktop browsers or mobile devices.
Reception
Mahmoud Itani from Macworld provided a largely critical assessment of pdfFiller, pointing out issues with its stability and the absence of some promised features on the Mac system. He remarked that there are more cost-effective PDF editors with enhanced functionalities available, stating he could not identify any compelling reason to choose pdfFiller over other options. Conversely, Michael Ansaldo of PC World commended pdfFiller for its exceptionally comprehensive feature set and valued its extensive document library.
In a review for TechRadar, Steve Paris emphasized pdfFiller’s strengths in collaborative online editing and robust password security but noted drawbacks such as its premium pricing and the absence of a free plan. Harold Glicken from Tribune Content Agency observed that while pdfFiller’s features are less extensive than those in commercial desktop software, it remains suitable for fundamental document tasks.
