Love it I love it and have recommended it to friends and collegues. Love the ability to change forms around and manipulate the forms to move entire sections around and still keep things neat and professional looking. The dashboard is messy and not as well organized as it could be.

Easy Forms It has been good, but the saving of the files is not that easy, have to upload document every time you want a new copy. The easiness to write pdf's and print them out. The documents are not categorized and it would make it easier to find.

Editing pdfs without the need to convert them What i like the most about this software is the fact that when i have to edit a pdf wher i lost my source document i dont have to convert it in order to edit it, i can just simply use pdf filler editing functions and that's it. Took some getting used to as it, also in some cases is complicated to get the text in the place i selected to put it

I am very happy with the customer services of pdfFiller. I am very happy with the services of pdfFiller.com Their customer service is excellent. A payment was automatically made from my credit card. However, after talking to the customer service, I got my refund which I never thought would be possible.

Eliminating so much wasted paper Very good! Would highly recommend to any fast paced office We have cut out paper usage in half since we started using this product! And by refusing our waste we also reduced our shredding fees I haven't found anything to dislike yet. So far it's been a very positive experience and no complaints.
