Great for PDFs!
Great for PDFs! PDF filler is a great way for me to edit PDFs that clients send me. It is also very handy for finding my own PDFs that I need for a variety of reasons. I love how useful this product is. It is also really easy to use once you get the hang of it. The database of forms they have to search and use is also incredibly helpful! It can be a bit hard to use at first, especially if you aren't familiar with PDFs. I typically have to train an employee for about 30 minutes before they can really understand and use all of the features that PDFfiller provides.

Apart from being 100% happy with the program, I let my free trial period lapse accidentally and was blown away by the exceptional service given to me regarding a refund AS SOON as I contacted Peter (online chat) in the customer service team once I realised I had been charged for the yearly subscription. If only there were more businesses with such accomodating customer service that operated in this professional, efficient & understanding manner. Thanks so much Peter & the team! You guys deserve great success.
