The ease and operation was fantastic. I get confused very easily with all the new technology. With PDFFILLER I was able start at file I found in the browser and fax it, import a file and email it without any trouble. I will be using this a lot.

I spent approx $70 for PDF Filler, could not find a page rotate icon when I really needed it, then a screen popped up that I would have to spend $120 per year to have this additional function. I was in the midst of needing to reorient some legal documents so paid the additional money. I find this to be less than fair business practice as when I signed up there was no clear breakdown presented on the functions available for different costs.
