It was the worst because I had no idea how to work the program. It took well over 5hrs for something that should have taken less than 5 mins had a I known what to do

PDFfiller is a good value application for PDF file editing, filling and file management. My limited use of the application so far leaves a lot of its functionality to be discovered. However, it is very user friendly and simple to work with.

Awesome PDF Tool for a low price It is a great tool that I would recommend to people who are not very tech savvy. It is an easy to use tool with helpful features that can help any business that uses PDF documents on a frequent basis. It makes you pay for many features that can actually be found using free software alternatives if you do some research.

Stupid-Easy to use Very easy to get used to. This should be called PDF-Text for Dummies. I literally had this program up and running in less than 5 minutes of downloading and installing it. Wish it was a little cheaper. If you are not using it often it hard to justify the monthly cost. It may be better to go with the annual subscription instead of the monthly in some cases.

Just getting started. Signed up a few months ago but it is only now that I am getting around to cleaning up my forms for a virtual behavioral medicine practice

What do you like best? OMG! I can’t said enough about it. I have use it so many times, why to overpaid for Adobe acrobat or similar when you can have this? I recommend it to everyone who needs to edit, rearrange and send PDFs. What do you dislike? I don’t really dislike anything, maybe I would like the notarize option to let you do multiple signatures/ persons in the same document Recommendations to others considering the product: Try the free trial you would love it What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? Productivity All in one, I love that you can also signed and Edit all in one. Is very easy to use
