So far, so good. It is easy to learn and fill out forms. The questions I had were answered on the spot. Should make multiple signatures on a form possible via email. Amazing.

just started using the product and it works very well. The only thing is that I will use it for the forms I need to fill out and then will cancel since I won't need to use the product after 30 days. You should have a one time fee.

What do you like best?
It works. Easy to use platform. I've subscribed for several years and they continue to make improvements. I tried docusign and this was just as good.
What do you dislike?
I don't like that it won't link up with business accounts on OneDrive so I can't store my files on OneDrive. Really would be nice to have them fix that! Also for some weird reason, the system only can connect with personal accounts. Sometimes, it's not easy to find my documents. Finally, the plug-in for Chrome doesn't always work well. Usually, it's just better to go into the app itself.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Compare the functionality you need to what it offers. I suspect you'll find it's sufficient.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
Send out paperwork for signatures and fill out paperwork online instead of printing, signing, and scanning it.

A time saver A great way to fill, edit and sign PDF documents easily and on the go. Create professional-looking documents even if you are out of the office. Affordable and efficient. It includes many customizable templates for different purposes and the Drag and Drop feature makes it easy to use. Compatible with a variety of formats. None, really. It takes some getting used to after using tools such as Adobe, but overall it's pretty intuitive.

I've been using PDFfiller regularly for over 2 years now, and it works wonderfully. I'm able to upload documents, add fillable lines, and get electronic signatures seamlessly. Customer service is also great - prompt and friendly in attending to any questions or issues. Makes running my business that much easier.

Could NOT figure out how to sign a PDF… Could NOT figure out how to sign a PDF in Adobe Acrobat to change my address with the IRS. Did it painlessly in PDF Filler. Thank you!

PDF ****** provides a useful service that was difficult to find on other platforms. It does require providing payment info when you sign up for the free trial, but their customer service was extremely polite and helpful when I needed to cancel and get the charge refunded. **** helped me, and if I was in a position to need their service for my job or personal life, I would absolutely renew my subscription.

It was very easy to navigate the site and fill out the form I needed. I like that they have several options available to print, email, fax and even send out a copy USPS.

I signed up for a trial. I'm so happy to purchase it. I love it and it has made my business processes move much quicker than printing a form, completing, scanning, send it back, and storing a copy. Excellent!
