4 starts because of great chat support but some features I would change. Like when filling out fillable form, I don't like how the instruction window follows you through the entire document. Most other online forms don't have this because they assume the form is self-explanatory. The feature is cumbersome, like dragging around dead weight. Anyways, that is my input.

What do you like best?
I enjoy very much that I can scan in documents and then fill in and add things to them easily.
What do you dislike?
Very little. But sometimes I find I accidentally click on the up/down bar instead of the buttons. Also, some of the buttons are not intuitive, but trial and error works well, and mistakes are easily deleted.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
I used to need a type writer (or hand write) sometimes still to comply with using the forms given to me by the government. Now, I can upload them and use the computer. Much better.

Cut the paper trail and faxing Instead of faxing documents, I just get them emailed. The documents are more clear, it's fast, and I can sign and fill in easy without needing to fax it back. I love the signature button. This is so easy to use. Uploading and downloading is all I do now. My fax machine is obsolete. You have to download it to your computer from email, then upload it to pdf filler - at least that's how I do it.

Verry helpful! Things I would change would be to add a paint can where you can color in an entire section. The only other problem i have encountered which may be my own doing is when i edit something and save it and then attach it in an email it looks blurry no matter what i try. Overall the website is great!

We use PDF Filler with SignNow for documents for clients and employees. All seems to work very well. I did 6 documents, each several times as the requirements changed. I updated the company logos, just erase the old ones in the PDF and Word documents. So far, I only worked on a Fillable Signable document for clients I used erase, and then inserted better wording.

Having to make the check boxes into… Having to make the check boxes into check marks instead of x takes while when you have twenty on the page. It would be nice if you could decide for the whole page.
