In grad school, much of my reading comes from pdf files my professors post. Prior to PDFfiller, I would print out hundreds of papers in order to annotate. Now, I can annotate while conserving resources and I have access to the files no matter where or what device I use.

Very useful! Always available when I have to fill out forms like MD or Dental offices. Was very useful during school. Ease of use. Always there when I need it. None. I can't find any cons. I have used PDF filler a LOT.

It works. After dealing with another program for five years, that suddenly became dysfunctional as they upgraded, we are happy to have landed into your world.

Easy to Use It's been fantastic to use to add whole sections into a document without having to re-do everything. We haven't required something like this often, so I love that I can access this software for free, on an as-needed basis. Haven't needed to use the software enough to have any issues arise that I couldn't troubleshoot on my own.

pdfFiller is a major player pdfFiller is a major player, it seems to have everything I would ever need. It has been impossible to find anything as good. Also, it is intuitive I have limited computer experience and only once had to contact learner support and than they could not have been more helpful. Thank you.
