What do you like best? I like the fact pdf Fills stores and keep my documents in order! I like it's easy to use, and it comes with a fax!! I am very pleased that I can send a fax, and I am able to submit report! Also, it come with live help that is an excellent feature! What do you dislike? I dislike the wait period of 30 minute if I forget my password! The systems doesn't seem to lock in my password. I believe I have changed passwords maybe 3 times in under a year. Recommendations to others considering the product: Try it! The price is good! The service is good! I have spoke with tech support a couple of time because I got locked out because I forgot my password and made to many attempts, so that's an excellent feature! You can also send faxes, so that's good. I will look to renew my subscription again! It's a good product! What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? Well because of pdfFiller, I can send pdf files to coworkers and present files as needed! Before pdfFiller, my pdf files were not accepted by my supervisor and staff computers, but now, I can send pdf files with no concerns using pdfFiller! With the company working from home and folks using different systems/computer it's good that pdfFiller documents are able to be received by all my coworkers!
