Time saver!
I have used PDFfiller for several months now and love it. It is a great tool which makes it extremely easy for me to quickly and efficiently fill out PDFs and return them to the sender. Wether it be filling out forms or signing a contract, it has saved me many many hours in the long run - and is a pleasure to use!
There aren't really any cons to this plugin - it does exactly what it says it will do. However the user interface could be improved
