I am very pleased with how easy it is to create impressive PDFs. PDFfiller offers all of the features that Adobe offers with acrobat - for about 1/2 the price. The support team responded immediately when I had a problem (on a Sun night, I believe!) and the situation was resolved there and then. Impressive.
