PDFill is a desktop PDF editing suite from PlotSoft LLC that provides an alternative to Adobe Acrobat for working with PDF files. It addresses common document tasks such as filling forms, editing text and images, annotating and drawing, creating barcodes, scanning paper into PDF, managing pages, redacting sensitive content, and running batch operations.

The suite includes PDFill PDF Editor, PDFill PDF Tools, and PDFill PDF Writer. The editor supports form filling and form creation with savable fields, text and image editing, comments and stamps, drawing tools, QR and other barcode types, PDF actions and links, layers, OCR, and page management features such as insert, extract, replace, rotate, crop, bookmark, watermark, and header/footer tools. The free PDF Writer creates PDFs and images from printable Windows applications, while the free PDF Tools handle merging, splitting, reordering, encryption, decryption, conversion, and scanning. The software runs on Windows and supports international languages in text, form fields, and comments.

PDFill is aimed at individuals and organizations that need practical PDF editing and document management without a subscription-based suite. It is available in a free basic version, a Professional edition, and an Enterprise edition, with paid editions including lifetime upgrades.
