I use PDFFiller for our trucking company Bills of Lading and Log Sheets. I absolutely love it! My paperwork looks so much more professional and the more I use it the more I like it.

I use this software daily to mainly merge other documents into one PDF. It's very user friendly. time management and expedition of documents requiring signatures! Merge feature and being able to delete pages that I don't need. I like that I can save my agency's details on the different forms I use; rather than retyping each time. It has locked up a couple of times but once I get out and go back in it's fine. It hasn't happened in the last year so they may have done some updates to the software.
