I am just getting started. I am happy with the forms - only done one but in a panic- and you all came through. However, I signed up for the monthly plan and I got a bill saying the amount was $180 - the annual amount.How can I verify that I signed up and will be billed monthly at $15.00? I will be happy to do a survey in a month or two.

Nice program. Was able to learn without reading the guide much. Would like the option to pay per document instead of subscribing via monthly or yearly.

What do you like best?
PDFfiller is a very easy to use software in which I can easily edit the documents in PDF format. This tool saves every document in the cloud, so wherever you go, your documents are always with you. It also has feature to sign the documents and also making the templates is an easy job.
What do you dislike?
PDFfiller takes too much time when it comes to adding a file to edit it, it takes so much time to open the file. Also the price is a bit high as compared to the number of features provided by it.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
As PDFfiller is a nice way to manage the documents in the industry, it is recommended by me.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
PDFfiller is really a good app helping me in my industry for managing and editing the documents. I also use this tool when I have to send documents to have signature on it and it does great work. Using this tool has increased my efficiency of doing work.

Only ever used Adobe in the past. Found this affordable option. It is fantastic. User friendly and effective app. I applied for a rental with a heap of forms to fill out and now our family are living in it. I accidentally signed the 1year subscription. Advised that I only wanted to use it during the trial period for a purpose and happy to pay for one month. They communication was quick and on point. They summarised and actioned exactly what I requested. Only charged me $30 for the month and cancelled my future subscription. I would happily use this again. Thank you.

What do you like best? I love the fact that we can collect uploads AND money through filled PDFS What do you dislike? The entire site is very confusing and we have a hard time understanding where our active sheets are located within the site. We see things like "documents" and then we make a new template ... then lose which template is live and which one isn't. I also don't care for the fact that we cannot choose to have ZERO color in the field that the customer sees for filling in and I would love to be able to disable the "lock to grid" feature that is clearly on at all times. Recommendations to others considering the product: I recommend reading through the site, reading through all the tutorials you can and getting very organized about what you are going to do before getting started. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? We no longer have to deal with faxing our documents to customers to fill out, sign and fax back. We just tell them to go to our website . They are also so much more likely to complete the entire process including sending us pictures that we require and we no longer lose the pictures or get confused as to where everything is.
