Love the software but a bit of a brain surgery to start with each new document.
Love the software but a bit of a brain surgery to start with each new document. The links, steps and path for loading and working on documents need to be highlighted better for new users. Probably makes great sense to the programmer but new users have to hunt for the next link or button to click.

Helpful Tool I had been trying to send off some release forms and was crunched for time so I signed up for PDFFiller's free trial. In the end, I wasn't able to use their software without a purchase, but it made me almost wish I had paid the money. I like that I can sign any document electronically. It definitely saves time and printing costs. It cuts out about 2 extra steps: printing and scanning. This is helpful for documents that need signatures such as release forms, etc. I didn't like how much I had to pay in order to use my e-signed pdf. I don't use the software often enough to make it worth the price. However, if I worked regularly with documents that needed to be signed this software would be the very best solution.
