It seems to be pretty straightforward. I have trouble saving it to Word and printing it but I can just print it from this program and it turns out perfect.

I did not like the way my card was charged the $120 initial annual fee. I only wanted to pay by month. That was misleading and I did not appreciate it. If your going to offer the monthly plan, offer it, make the wording more clear. don't try and trick people into the yearly plan and make them go through customer service to get the refund. The reason I give four stars is because (1) the customer service rep was so helpful in getting me my refund back and (2) you have an awesome product. It is really working well for me.

It's very good and I recommend it to others. I know I am not getting the full benefit, and should attend a webinar but feel too busy unless it could be archived and watched at my convenience.

It is easy to use and very helpful. I just started so I am a bit slow in getting the documents made or using it. I would have liked it a bit more straightforward, but I like it so far.

in a nutshell: sooooooooooo much better than adobe acrobat. i'm a new user, but this was just infinitely less frustrating (and i'm hoping less expensive) that dealing with adobe.

This program has great functionality This program has great functionality for myself and my team and they have excellent customer service. I switched to PDF filler nearly two years ago and have never looked back.

What do you like best? It is much easier to use than Adobe Acrobat. Much more intuitive functions and file management. It has saved me a ton of time with the cloud storage of documents. I have used effectively for construction related documents. What do you dislike? Very rarely I have needed to use another platform because some municipalities require it but 98% of what I need to do is supported. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? Remote completion of forms and extracting text from PDF documents mostly.

What do you like best? The dashboard is intuitive and for me the best thing is being able to sign documents. What do you dislike? The application is good but has limitations versus the competition such as file size and not having the scanner tool on the cell phone. Recommendations to others considering the product: In my opinion, a multilanguage tutorial is necessary. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? The biggest benefit is being able to sign documents from a distance.

I mislead them on my intentions for the service level that I required. Once I brought it to their attention, I answered 3 questions; and the matter was immediately resolved. Outstanding customer service comms. !!!
