Initially, I wasn't too sure on how to use the various features and tools available. I took my time to read each area carefully, used the "help" icon. Very pleased with the results of todays work.

It has been great. It was a little difficult figuring out how to make it work. Having a delete button for the symbols and a spellcheck would be nice. I'm not complaining though. Being able to edit pdfs is EXTREMELY helpful!

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!

With this document I had to learn how to rotate the document which took an inquiry on the internet to find the instructions. Could not seem to open any help window for the instruction.

The only complaint that I have is that… The only complaint that I have is that in the editing section it isn't user friendly. For me I had to just rewrite my whole paragraph since it wasn't easy to just copy and paste! Otherwise I am really pleased with the pdf revise site.Jacqueline Radell- McRaney

What do you like best? Very great experience with editing pdf files. Helps to create a digital signature, no need to print the documents to sign them. PDFfiller does it all for you. What best is to save the paper save the environment. Best website during such a pandemic situation, while working at home. What do you dislike? There is just one problem that it just provides limited font styles. Please provide more font options and some more features like double spacing etc. Recommendations to others considering the product: It is the best website if you are working from home if you are an environment lover and want to save the earth by not printing paper and also save money. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? We are in the transportation business, so we have to send the documents for the Border clearance. Earlier, we used to print the documents and then put a border sticker and write notes with a pen on it. But, with the help of this, we are saving a lot of paper. Just upload the docs to pdffiller and copy, paste border sticker, and write notes with edit text icon. Everything is easy now.
