It is useful.
It is useful. Only thing I would like is for it to figure out what font I had on the document BEFORE I edit it. I have contract templates that I use that I have to edit sometimes and finding the font that will match that size and actual type is very difficult. i usually end up just dealing with whichever one I find. If there is a way to do that, please let me know via email.

What do you like best? Ease of use, variety of tools, and it has everything I need for my line of work which is Real Estate. What do you dislike? Font choice is a little limited unless I don't know how to find them... Other than that, I've used PDF Filler for about three years now and it is almost a necessity with my job. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? I've used it numerous times in Real Estate transactions to finalize contracts, revise items, and change information, etc. It makes my job much easier, neater, and smoother.

Chronological resume This is the most common type of resume format and is generally preferred by most hiring managers. A chronological resume leads with your work history, which should list your current and previous positions in reverse chronological order.
Professionals who got an entry-level position in their degree field and who have worked their way up to a higher position in a company should probably use a chronological resume. Functional resumes are advisable for individuals who have a non-standard work history or who have gaps in their career timelines.
Among the alternatives, one of the most popular resume formats is the functional resume. This resume format deemphasizes work history and puts skills and accomplishments front and center. After your name and contact information, you go straight into your most relevant skills and accomplishments.
The combination resume format combines the functional and chronological formats. It includes functional skill categories but also lists the dates of previous employment. This format works well for job seekers who: May have obtained the required skills from seemingly unrelated industries or jobs.
Under each job are a list of your job duties, skills, and accomplishments. However, on a functional resume, the meat is your skills and achievements. Instead of listing your jobs, you group your skills by type of experience and list out the specific things you can do in each of these areas.
