The stars did not appear on this survey, so nothing is marked; however, this was and still is a great service, and is very much needed as it is a very helpful tool in filling out forms that do allow computer input. :-)

I like the idea that I can go back and fill in the parts of a report that I couldn't finish in one sitting. This will a big help to me in my newly appointed position.

I am not very savvy with computers and am trying to learn more everyday. Your system was easy enough where I did not have to call my kids to help me figure it out. Thank you for the simplicity of the web site. It is helping me meet my needs and not be frustrated at the same time. Great feeling to be able to use this web site and get what I need from it. Thanks.

Very useful service. Trying to create a fillable pdf is made simple. Although when it's downloaded, one or two areas are not fillable anymore so have to do it again.

Best software for PDF editing! My non-profit radio station has been more productive than ever before with PDFfiller! An user-friendly web app able to do much more than you thought it would do! - Edit PDF files easily - Recognize text and make them editable - Sign document simple as 1-2-3 It is not really cons, but some features are actually useless for me (ex: print to other companies to be sent at our offices)

Making editing so easy and fuss free Making editing so easy and fuss free! Hope that the membership could be more affordable or have a student price perhaps.

I really like the service a lot. It is user friendly and intuitive. I like that this also comes with Sign Now so that I can have all the forms I need for my business easy and accessible for me to get electronically signed. I would give it 5 starts except in the Sign Now program the program should default to the text box for people to sign and then have the live signature be on a separate tab, so basically reverse what it is now. It is hard for some people to get to the text box for them to type their signature. I use this all the time in my business and I would recommend it.

Filling out a Federal claim form, but people were sending me versions (Word, PDF, etc.) and they were all junk...not very professional looking. Lots of problems with layout, font size. Found this pdfFiller and I completed the form in a matter of minutes (struggled for hours with the others).
