I'm happy with it for the most part. I think it's BS that you allow the eraser to be used on the 1st document and only when the customer goes to use it again, do you mention that it's an upgrade is bad business!!!!!! There's another issue but at the moment it escapes me.

It works and I'll keep using it! It's been a good experience. I have used it several times and it gets the job done. I get PDFs sent to me from time to time and it can't get much simpler than using the PDFfiller. It works great. Nothing that I am unhappy with. It works every time and I have come to depend on it. Allows me to be professional and quick.

If you have a lot of digital documents, you should use pdfFiller My overall experience is great! It's free and very easy to use, and I strongly recommend it for any student, teachers or professors, colleagues from work, and even for managers because during this pandemics, we all had to adapt our documents to digital format, and print them at home could be an issue for many people. I love to use this software because it's free and it allows me to sign digital documents from anyone in my company without having to print everything, sign it all, and then scan it, and e-mail it to the recipients. It's great because it has other checkmarks so you can add little details in case you are reading a contract or a file that needs reviewing. Positively, there are no cons for this software, as I have been using it for work and college matters, and it solves a great deal of signing important documents!

Have had no issues since we first started using PDFiller. Recommendations to others considering the product: Purchase it What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? I am whiting out personal information, Printing documents with additional text not on it to avoid printing more than necessary.
