I have been using PDFfiler for more than 4 years.
What do you like best? I have been using PDFfiler for more than 4 years. It makes my pdf documents look professional. There is no longer a need to print a doc, fill it in with pen, scan, and send. PDFfiler reduces the amount of steps I have to take to get the job done. It helps to also have everything saved on the My Docs page. I can find the same tax documents I need month after month. PDFfiler also reduces the amount of paper needed to generate a document. I probably use PDFfiler every day. What do you dislike? I would like to be able to turn off the assisted pop-ups. They can obstruct the box I want to enter text. Recommendations to others considering the product: Simple to use. Makes your docs look professional and neat. Easy to manipulate a doc that is incorrect. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? I fill out every form on PDFfiler. It's automatic to me. In addition, when I am unable to edit a Word doc or other pdf, I know I can upload it to PDFfiler and get the job done right away.

What do you like best? I like the choice of fonts because one can add changes or complete empty fields to a pdf and by using a different font from the original text it is clear that the additions are different from the original.. Also I like that one can add circles, check marks, "X" to a doc. And can erase portions of text. What do you dislike? I dislike that you have to pay extra to add or subtract pages from a pdf. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? My hand writing is very poor. So I use PDFiller to compensate for this deficiency..

PDFiller is ultra-convenient and super-easy to use.
What do you like best? PDFiller is ultra-convenient and super-easy to use. It's in the cloud, so it's easy to access. And it has a vast array of features. Storage is a cinch, whether on your hard drive or in the cloud. What do you dislike? I can't think of much that I don't like about the program. There might be a more direct or seamless way to save documents to Google Drive, in terms of getting them straight into a particular folder instead of just onto the Drive, but that's a minor issue. Recommendations to others considering the product: Try it. You'll like it. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? PDFiller is a lifesaver when I'm editing contracts and related forms. The clarity of the input and the ability to maneuver the text around the document is a huge plus. Line-outs and erasures are a breeze, making for "cleaner," more legible documents.
