Customer support was top notch. They resolved my print issues with my form. The reason I did not give it 5 stars and would not recommend is that I Googled for a form to fill out for a US Passport. I didn't expect to find one i could fill in on line. What was not apparent was that ONLY AFTER SPENDING 30 MINUTES FILLING OUT THE FORM did I find out I had to pay $20 to print, save, fax, email or share the form. Customer service was great, but did not want to sign up for a monthly pdf service or pay $20 for 1 form.

Very useful. Would like to see a Strike-Through option where the user can highlight a section of text and select the Strike-Through option to strike through the selected text. Thanks!

PDF Filler Descriotion It has been wonderful from the online accessibility to the ease of computer use. The screen font was adjustable, so I like that it is non-discriminatory. This software is affordable, and saved me some job hunting in person. It allowed me to sign some paper stuff online. I o not like that this software left out the name of the company whose creator devoted it to. In addition, it leaves out some colors like blue and black from a police department.

This morning my subscription to PdfFiller was automatically renewed. Once I realized it, I notified the company to cancel my subscription and to provide a refund. Within a short time, I received a response confirming that the subscription was canceled and that the charge was reversed. I would definitely recommend this company and would use them again if I had a need.TL

easy to use and there are a lot of options to have... easy to use and there are a lot of options to have things mailed, emailed, faxed, etc right with a click of a button and entering information. It does have a fee for this BUT it is SUPER convenient so honestly its a very small price to pay to not have to worry about all the extra work i would have to do myself.
