I worked with Elie tonight and your support is amazing. She was friendly, patient and knowledgeable. She was able me to better understand the PDFfiller and was able to accomplish what I wanted. Very Pleased with your service and product.

I had the wrong EIN number on a… I had the wrong EIN number on a 1099-misc.and it kept rejecting it until I got it corrected which made me frustrated until I saw it was an error in the EIN given to me and then I was glad that I used the service to correct the error.

PDFfiller has is a great application for my personal and business life Used to fill out tax and health forms. Used it fill forms related to my real estate business as the forms are repetitive and can be revised easily I like that I can email documents or email them from the application I like that I can store all of my documents in one place and retrieve them easily I like that I can redo forms that need to be submitted annually without having to refill out the entire document. I just update what is new. I can't think of any downside to the product

I found myself trying to rate it 4… I found myself trying to rate it 4 stars, but it's honest about what it is- a robust, web-based pdf editing tool that doesn't try to be more than it is, and does what it is supposed to do very well.

pdfFiller Good for buisness My overall experience with pdfFiller has been a positive one. I would recommend to others in our industry that deal with a lot of forms to connect with customers. The ability to use the pdfFiller for our customers to submit forms that needed editing in the field. The lack of options on the form editor to add buttons and boxes for surveys.

The NC OTP was a perfect match and was all that we needed to get the buyer and seller on the same page. Although it wasn't used by the attorneys it could have easily been used since it was identical to the one they used.
