I am so happy that I found this. It makes completing so many forms so much easier. Additionally, I've got forms that must be completed that are now no longer fillable through the agency that created them. This will allow me to continue to fill the forms.

I found it a bit difficult to navigate text changes and then the printed format is not the correct size needed for the IRS. I had to spend time reopening on desktop to make changes and print.

I love PDF Filler- I generate a lot of documents and this is an essential tool I can manipulate the documents that I create. I do a lot of RFP answers Ease of use. The program is easy to use and manipulate forms. I was introduced to program at another employer and requested my current company purchase There really isn't any aspect of the program that I do not like. Maybe a couple of more options with regarding the size of the fonts.
