What do you like best? I like PDFFIller because it always works, unlike some other PDF tools I've purchased in the past. PDFFiller is my goto tool and will become my exclusive tool once my other package expires. What do you dislike? There's a little confusion when saving to my Google Drive. Now and then, the file can't be found there when on my phone. Recommendations to others considering the product: I've also used Ecopy for several years and just find PDFfiller to be more user friendly and stable. As I said, it's my goto PDF tool. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? I fill in forms, I create forms listing medical issues/histories, electronic signatures are always handy. I also convert to Office Documents if needed.
