This is an awesome tool to have and it makes filling out documents way easier. I had to fill out a document in which everything has to be perfect and the PDFfiller helped tremendously.

It works and is easy to use. I think it is a little pricey for the occasional individual user. Would like to have options based on degree of use: e.g., individual vs corporate.
