Just started using the program today. Easy so far. A little problem with the aligment of fields. It would have been great to use the "tab" key to toggle between fields.

It's great! Only problem I had was trying to erase a hi-lited area I accidentally added. The software wanted me to pay for an upgrade for the eraser which I think is ridiculous guys. Other than that, awesome.

I appreciated the ease and speed, just a few little glitches here and there when entering data and printing. Dealing with IRS docs, so need to do it correctly and quickly. Thanks!

So far, so good. I don't like that it seems to lose its connection frequently and I have lost data a time or two but that may be a function of where/what I work on. Otherwise, fair deal for the price.

AWESOME program but too expensive
AWESOME program, but the monthly cost is WAY too high. Should charge customers a more affordable price of $10/month. And stop trying to force us to pay for a whole year up front -- what if I don't need it for an entire year? Fantastic features, easy to learn, a pleasure to use. Just TOO EXPENSIVE.

Best Value PDF Software
I am using PDF filler to help sign documents that were sent with Adobe and therefore locked for a countersignature, date or time stamp edits, and changes to PDF documents to fix legal edits.
This software is very easy to use, gets the job done, and is extremely well priced relative to its competitors.
There are no features I dislike, it has honestly been a huge lifesaver at work as I am constantly fixing documents/changing pdf versions.

It is cumbersome to upload every document, fill it out, then download it. I wish there was a free program that let you fill out and sign pdf documents directly

Perfect for merging multiple JPG images into a compact PDF
This app / web page allowed me to easily merge six JPG image files (each 2550x3300 pixels, some included photos) into a single compressed PDF document that was small enough (7MB) to be easily shared as an email attachment. Did exactly the job I wanted it to!

How do you label Bates documents?
Open the PDF file containing bate numbers. Choose Tools > Edit PDF. In the secondary toolbar, choose More > Bates Numbering > Remove.
What is the Bates numbering system?
Bates Numbering, also known as Bates Stamping, is an indexing method used for legal, business and medical documents (PDFs in most cases). Bates Numbers are perceived as digital reference points used to uniquely identify and label each page in a set of documents.
Why does Bates stamp?
Bates stamping can be used to mark and identify images with copyrights by putting a company name, logo and/or legal copyright on them. This process provides identification, protection, and automatic consecutive numbering of the images.
Is Bates stamping required?
ESI evidence (which derives from the 1s and 0s of computer bits and bytes) does not require a Bates-stamp because it has something even better — a unique fingerprint. For every computer file, there is a 32-digit key that is unique to that file.
How do you make a Bates stamp in Word?
Download Bates Express from the official website. Install Bates Express. Open Bates Express. Select the folder the Word files are saved in from the tree of folders automatically created by Bates Express and then select the files you want to stamp bates to.
How do you Bate stamps a document in Word?
Select the folder the Word files are saved in from the tree of folders automatically created by Bates Express and then select the files you want to stamp bates to. Choose the target format if you want to convert Word files into PDF or another format (TIFF, JPEG). Specify bates settings (location, font, size).
