I've edited 4 documents with pdf filler which was fairly easy considering the editing I needed done was fairly simple. I'm a little disappointed that there is no on-demand training because I've only used some basic features & would like to learn alot more on all of the features that are available & how to use them

As a Realtor I am constantly having to merge PDF files, or fill in forms, or add notes to contracts, or rotate pages from horizontal to vertical. My hand writing is not very legible, but PDFfiller makes all of my docs look professional.
