I was very upset that I wasn't told I'd have to pay until after I'd edited a very long file, but customer service gave me 30 days free when I brought this to their attention.

Getting acquainted with it. Pretty good. Would be a big help to be able to copy and paste whole cell entry(e.g., multiple-line entry within a cell) into another cell. Also, clumsy toggling between a p.1 and p.2 of a device - several interruptions to tell me the document was being edited.

Very helpful, how ever when I searched PDFiller for this exact document, it was unable to locate it. I had to go on line and search for the document download and up popped PDFiller with the doc. I could not find on my accounts search.

I like the program, but I really needed the ability to add Bates Numbering. If the program would overcome some of the rather important limitations, this would be an excellent deal for the money.

appreciate that this service is available. enabled me to perform billing on required government forms because I don't own a typewriter. a little difficult saving and retrieving forms however.

i thought it was a free program but I needed to pay for it when I tried to print the document, it required payment. I did so, but then complained to the company and they fully refunded my money

I needed to edit a pdf file that was very long with only few corrections so this program was great. It was so easy to use...I especailly like the erase too and then the size too to make the correction look good. nothing.. I liked the entire program. I thought the cost was a little high as I only needed the program for a few weeks and wont be needing it again. So a lower fee for a weekly or monthly use would be good and you may get more users that way too

SSA 44 Review The instructions were clear and the mechanisms to enter and modify data was easy to understand and complete. I'm not facile with computer programs and this was easy for me to complete.

this is the best product I could find… this is the best product I could find for converting a pdf form into something fillable. I don't need to use this regularly so better if you offered a annual usage limit package- say 12 uses a year for $12.00- which seems fair and reasonable to you and the customer. (If you take this idea up, please do let me know)Ross Harling
