It has made work much easier. In the legal field we deal with a ridiculous amount of documents. Many IRS and government forms require some PDF filler, Adobe Acrobat does not do the job PDF filler can. To be able to access my docs from anywhere is amazing. The email, sign, fax, and all the other features make it actually fun.

What do you like best?
Ease of use and the ability to transpose images.
What do you dislike?
Needs a larger variety of fonts. The color chart also needs to have more choices.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
PDFfiller has eased my document management and truly "filled" my non-filler documents!
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
I make documents writable because I absolutely do not write out anything.
