Really good, not sure how I would be at editing large amounts of info on a PDF with the website but I could be surprised if I went through the online training.

I have only been using it a short time but it has made filling out some of my forms so much easier. I no longer have to print, fill out, scan and save.

There doesnt seem to be alot of "man in the street" logic to how you explain things. It seems to be written by Code cutters or IT people. Lots of simple things like , I look up how to save a document. You say : Save your document by clicking the 'Save as PDF' button in either the "MyForms" . There is NO such button only a "save as" button. Also Where is the "My Forms" page? is it named as such or .... ????Bascally though, its a great piece of software. You just have to get a REAL human being to rewrite instructions.

Web based PDF signing tool I use PDFfiller for signing purchase orders or sending proposals for clients to digitally sign. It's great because users can sign documents in their browser without needing to download anything. PDFfiller's editing tools leave much to the imagination. I don't use the editing features as I can accomplish what I need with other programs.

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

What do you like best? The ability to send a link via email or text to allow a client to sign a document makes things a breeze! I also like having an "encrypted" folder that's password protected for my access only. What do you dislike? Nothing really that I currently dislike about the online software. Recommendations to others considering the product: If you're looking for a very affordable alternative to DocuSign or any other "Send to Sign" type of software, this one takes the cake! What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? I have access to Law documents vs. having to google something for a layout where I can save it & populate the information I need from my data.

I am a Medical Billing and Coding student and have been using pdfFiller forms to do an assignment where we are using the CMS 1500 claim form, and pdfFiller has helped me a lot by allowing me to used the forms online. Thanks I appreciate that

It is a great tool that anybody can use It is a great tool that anybody can use. It does not matter what type of business, school, or type of work you do you will get out of this service if you have to continually deal with PDF documents. Do you need to sign something? Check. Do you need to change a shipping label by a major retailer for a return? check. Tax documents? check. For real, I'm just a regular stay at home dad and I use this AT LEAST twice a month.
