PDFill PDF editor allows you to create and edit PDFs. This software does a variety of tasks, but in today's modern world, it is losing market share quickly. The following review will now the positives and negatives of this software.

Let us start with the positives. PDFill PDF editor could not be easier to use. You have your basic document controls at the top and various components you can add to the left side of the software. The software also allows you to place multiple components at once. For example, if you need to repeat a button or form element over and over, you can quickly complete this with the table tool. Another positive is that this software combines well with the PDFill Free Tools. A series of buttons allow you to do a variety of PDF tasks. For example, using these free tools you can combine multiple PDFs into one; or split one document into multiple PDFS. This software also comes from an outfit that has been working with PDFs for many years. This means you can trust them not to infect your computer or fill it full of junk. Their software feels very snappy.

Now the negatives with PDFill PDF Editor. The largest downside of this software is that it is not free. This software may have a trial, which adds a watermark to any PDF created, but for the full non-watermark version you have to pay $20. In the past this was a huge bargain. After all, Adobe Professional cost $500+... so getting something similar for $20 was fantastic. However, now that Microsoft 2013 can edit PDFs, along with a number of freeware software, $20 now seems kinda expensive. On the flip side, the software may be too simplistic for advanced users. I am not sure if scripting or other functionality are included.
