Is pdfFiller free?
There is a 30-day trial that needs a card, and reviews on Trustpilot and the App Store describe being charged for a year after it. Editing is possible during the trial, but downloading the result needs an account and a plan.
Can Fillfront edit the text in my PDF?
No. Fillfront places answer fields on top of your PDF and writes replies into them. The document itself stays as it is. If you need to change the printed text, do that in a PDF editor first and then upload the result.
Does Fillfront need a card?
Not for your first form. It is free, with unlimited responses, and there is no trial to run out. Every form after it is one payment, taken when you publish it.
Will Fillfront renew or charge me again?
No. A Pro form is paid once and stays Pro for as long as it runs. There is no subscription, so there is nothing to cancel.
