My main reasons for using PDFfiller.com is so that I can fill out and sign forms to email; and our customers can fill out and sign our forms more conveniently.

It works well overall
It works well overall. I like being able to take an existing form and change the names of the form elements to match our database.
The one issue I just had was with text alignment for a text box. I do not see the property for that. My workaround was to copy an existing text box that was center aligned.

Extremely Useful, Slightly Non-Intuitive
Love the program/service/software and all its online functions, including the US Legal Forms integration for documents like wills and trusts. But it is a little clunky/non-intuitive in terms of user experience and interaction–be prepared to spend time clicking around to find not only your own documents, but also the service's libraries. Looking forward to integrating with third-party/external cloud storage.

Amazing product and service
Amazing product and service. I had an issue with their billing, and it was literally resolved in 2 mins! No kidding. The product is also really useful if you have to deal with PDFs frequently.

If it were possible to drag and drop email addresses from my email to the pdf filler I believe it would be easier. I'm writing them down currently and then typing in the information.

Can I highlight on a PDF?
To highlight PDF content, click the 'Highlight' button in the left menu, and click and drag over the content you'd like to highlight. You can also use the shapes tool in the left menu to outline certain areas on a page. Finally, you can use handy symbols tools like checkmarks to easily fill out forms or annotate a PDF.
Why won't my PDF Let me highlight?
Most likely because the file is composed of images (possibly scans) and does not contain any “real” text. If you can't select the text with the text selection tool then you can't highlight it, either. Use other markup tools, like the Square tool, instead.
How do I enable highlighting in PDF?
Highlight PDF Text Go to the “Comment” tab and select “Highlight”. Use your cursor to select the text you want to highlight. If you are looking highlight a large area of text, you also have the option of using the “Area Highlight” Button.
