What do you like best? It's so user friendly and very robust in the many changes that I need to make to any given file. What do you dislike? I wish it would allow you to add more than 5 pages at one time when I'm trying to make changes to a several documents and uploading it into one main file. Recommendations to others considering the product: it's a great platform and worthy of your consideration. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? It's been perfect to allow me to make a change, super quick, and get it back to a client in a matter of minutes. It has saved me time and allowed me to make money as a result of being really easy to use and super functional.

The program is easy to use and super convenient.
What do you like best? The program is easy to use and super convenient. Your documents are always with you on the server PDFIller provides. What do you dislike? Getting in touch with a person in customer service is impossible and emails to cust. serv. have not been answered. I originally signed up as a single user; but then as my needs expanded at my office, I added and paid for three more users. For a while everything worked without issue, but then the other three users could not log-in and the different prompts in my dashboard were saying the subscriptions were active and to this day my office staff works through my sole account which can knock someone off in the middle of something. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? The fax benefit is awesome. I use the program with my insurance agency. It is way more user friendly than Adobe and you don't need a separate service to send a client a form to sign.
