Used PDF Filler to create 1099's for caregivers for my aunt and uncle. It was a good experience overall. I wish that I did not have to re-enter my information again for each of the 1099's.

PDFfiller Software Great software to update, fill, and sign PDF documents. User friendly, simple to use, easy way to make quick updates/changes to a PDF document, allows for PDF signatures to be completed, easy to make a document fillable, easy to share documents as needed. Software can lag with larger documents, tutorials are beneficial when first learning advanced features.

All services in one! I love PDFfiller for its multifunctionality - you can edit documents, send them, sign them, store them. I spend 50% time less in my email now and forgot my Dropbox password as such since now I store everything here If the contract has more than three pages, it might take a while to upload it and reopen it in PDFfiller What do you think about this review?
