I like it, but I do want to use the same form and just change a name and date of birth for a sibling. Can I do that or do I have to fill out the same form all over again?

Great extension. Only been using for a day. Only thing so far that I find fault with is that text entered on the android version of the app displays on a single line whereas on the Chromebook extension displays correctly

VERY GOOD PRODUCT. WISH IT HAD "ADD/SUBTRACT" FUNCTIONS, WHICH WOULD PRECLUDE THE NEED FOR DOING SO MANUALLY AND THEN INSERTING TOTALS/SUBTOTALS MANUALLY.

Quite good!Only after I finished, did I see that the date next to my signature at the bottom was misaligned and printing over some text on the form. So, I had to go back to edit that. Very helpful tool, though!

PDFfiller is a great tool to use for editing and templates PDFfiller allows me to utilize the same forms frequently. As a result, templates or refillable forms ensure document preparation is quicker and more efficient. Cloud security, ability to easily create templates for commonly used forms, flatten forms after fields filled in when saving to hard drive, in PDFFiller form remains in tact and is editable for reuse, and menu set-up. I wish PDFfiller would add the ability to add pages to a documents and allow downloading of templates created. Currently, in personal account, PDFfiller allows emailing to recipient to update information in fields, but doesn't allow me to download my template to my hard drive.

I encountered a payment issue where I… I encountered a payment issue where I received an error message and was unable to complete my transaction. The support team was incredibly responsive and helpful. They added 2 days of free access to my account, allowing me to continue using the service while the issue was being resolved. This gesture was very much appreciated and made a significant difference. Thank you for your excellent support!"

What do you like best? It is so easy to learn how to use the app I am not strong on a computer but this made me look like a pro. What do you dislike? Having to answer something I have not found yet everything has worked great Recommendations to others considering the product: I would tell anyone looking for an pdfApp this is the best and easiest I have found to use. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? Erase and retype over words has been a great help. Its quick and Easy to use.
