The best service ever! As a chiropractor, I am able to fill out my exam and soap notes with pdffiller then save them in the encrypted files for Hipaa compliance. My office is on its way to paperless as we speak. I love this service. Highly recommend it to all.

This is a great addition to my business. Fast, efficent and saves a ton of time. I get Forms that need to be signed all the time and I just quickly upload sign/date add notes or make changes and email, fax or scan back. I could not imagine my business without it.

Easy to use. It's good that we have this product cause we can just sign PDF's without printing. Sometimes it's hard to place the 'typing icon' in the right place for filling in information or data.

I really enjoy how user friendly the program is. If I had any complaints, it would be that I have to change the size of the font if I am updating a previous document that I edit.

Cancelling a subscription can be an intimidating and anxiety creating experience. NOT WITH THESE PEOPLE!!! Today I logged in to my account. ***** linked in as my Chat contact and in less then 1 minute the subscription was taken care of for me!!!! I have had to fight too many providers about cancelling subscriptions so THIS WAS REFRESHING!!! Such a contrast and it makes me want to stay connected with them if I ever need their services again.Don't hesitate to access their services and products.

What do you like best? The ability to upload documents as templates, to work on completed documents, whether changing page order or add/modify information. What do you dislike? I find it challenging to change fonts and text color. I'm not even sure it's possible. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? Simplification of creating clear, typed forms that elevate the professionalism of everythign we do.
