It is very easy to use and user friendly.
What do you like best? It is very easy to use and user friendly. It is also easy to add fields and fill them in. When I am creating a document, I can also easily share them with each of our employee accounts. I also like how I am able to remove an employees account from having access to the documents with a click of a button. What do you dislike? I wish our technicians were able to use the app without internet service. In some cases, we do not have access to service, and we are unable to fill out our paperwork. It would also be nice to be able to add more than 4 other people to the account without having to get a corporate account. Recommendations to others considering the product: It has all you could ever need all in one place. We have used the SignNow and faxing features, in addition to the typical use for pdfFiller. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? We are able to keep all of our paperwork in one place, and the technicians are able to access it on their phones. This has made it easier to make sure all technicians are getting the correct paperwork for every job, and with the different accounts, we are able to hold the technicians accountable.

The ease of dragging and dropping new files into the PDF filler program.
What do you like best? The ease of dragging and dropping new files into the PDF filler program. What do you dislike? The extra options such as notary and other things like fax are not free or easily accessible to find out how they work in advance. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? Converting PDF to JPG is a huge problem being solved. Also, easily changing a date on a flyer that is a PDF.
