I LOVE this program! I find it extremely beneficial when completing scholarships that are in PDF form. The forms are neat, legible and professional looking.

It's been very good working with PDF Filler. Makes saving forms so much easier. I only have one complaint. When it comes to dates, I usually need to write it as year-month-day; but PDF Filler is already programmed as day-month-year so I have to keep on erasing dates and fill it out by hand, which is annoying.
