It took a while to begin to understand how this works. I would definitely like to attend a webinar to learn more about it.
After I fill in all these forms I send you, how do I save them to my computer?
Thanks,

I'M disabled, and confined to a wheelchair. I'm not able to get out, and look for a place that will agree to fax things. I have arthritis real bad, and it is painful to hold a pen, and fill things out. The ability to do all of this for my nurses, and care-provider's, with PDF filler online is a true blessing. Thank you, so much!
Good utility but service was even better
I used this a couple of times. It was good, but other than that specific task I had no use of it, I let the trial run out and a week after I was charged and they were gracious enough to give me a refund and cancel the subscription with no fuss. Greatly appreciated.
Definitely Useful
As I mentioned, it makes the mailing process much more efficient.
PDFiller allows you to create and mail PDFs easily, saving you the hassle of getting an envelope, purchasing a stamp, maybe having to go to the post office, etc. For me that has been its greatest strength. The PDF customization interface isn't bad, but it's not immediately usable. It takes a little bit of time to learn how to use it effectively.
Right off the bat: I would not recommend this software to someone who isn't tech savvy or doesn't want a bit of a learning curve, for example, employers I've had in their 50s, 60s, and 70s who don't really "get" technology. The interface is fine if you just want to sign a document, but is not particularly intuitive when it comes to doing simple things like outright deleting portions of text. Too many steps.

Your customer service named Kara was really helpful and very quick to respond to my request of refund. The money to be refunded is for my medication so I am very happy and I really appreciate your understanding and your good heart. Thank you very much to all of you. God bless and more success.

How do I add a radio button to a PDF form?
Open the PDF document you want to add radio buttons to in pdfFiller. Click on the 'Add Fillable Fields' button located on the right-hand side of the toolbar. Select the 'Radio Button' option from the dropdown menu. Click on the area of the PDF where you want to add the radio button.
How do you create a radio button in a form?
They are created using the <input type="radio"> tag and must be grouped using the same name attribute to ensure only one selection is possible at a time. In this example, all radio buttons share the name="payment" attribute, so selecting one option automatically deselects the others.
