Love it, I can fill in forms and not use my terrible handwriting. I get the fill on items that I look at and your app is blocking me from seeing it on the screen.

Frequent User Overall I have had a good experience with PDFfiller. I like the ease of use of this software. I can use existing forms or can in form that aren't in the database. It is a little pricey for something I only use periodically.

the storage of files was a bit of a issue. every time i needed to look at the files i would need a code, a bit time consuming but otherwise a good product.

What do you like best? It is user friendly, very easy to navigate and to find the features I need regularly such as text and erase What do you dislike? Nothing that stands out. Again I use it every day and it has greatly reduced time spent on admin work Recommendations to others considering the product: It's worth the investment What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? I have many forms sent to me (employee evaluations, intern evaluations) that are in pdf and pdf filler has been an affordable way to turn those forms around quickly
