Where pdfFiller actually earns its money
pdfFiller is built for heavy compliance and HR workflows: e-signature with audit trail, signer-tracking, team collaboration, integrations into Salesforce / Dropbox / etc. If you're a small business sending dozens of forms a week and need a paper trail, pdfFiller is a real product. For the "I just need to fill this one form" case, it's massive overkill.
