PDFilller is so easy to use.
What do you like best? PDFilller is so easy to use. I am "tech challenged" and I have no problems using this program. What do you dislike? That I can't upload more than one document at a time even though there is an option for uploading multiple documents and that whenever I print or save a document the program doesn't revert back automatically to my "inbox"...it's just a lot of clicking...too many steps to get from "a" to "b" sometimes. Recommendations to others considering the product: The price is right, it's easy to use, you won't be disappointed! What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? PDFiller cuts down on the amount of time I have to spend creating documents.

Easy to use but comprehensive options for editing.
What do you like best? Easy to use but comprehensive options for editing. Quick and efficient which is important with time sensitive docs and a busy life. Some recent new features tells me the company is progressive. I was having technical difficulties one day and support was responsive. I've tried numerous PDF/Editing programs. and this is by far my favorite. It's web based not some ap that you have to download that later crashes your computer. Can access it from any PC so that helps too. What do you dislike? The price is substantially more that I'd like to see. Takes a bit to save file to PC once done editing. can be a little slow at times but still a reliable tool I use at least weekly if not daily. Something in the $50 range would be delightful and it's well above that currently. Maybe efax for this price I have not used the esign feature yet so maybe will try that given our member benefit program is lapsing. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? Quick way to edit and correct documents. Easy to save and access later. Lots of options for composing sending and revising. I only use basic functions but there are several ways to use this valuable tool beyond the features I use that exceed other competitors.
