pdfFiller scores top ratings on review platforms

I found PDFfiller through Goggle search after trying numerous other sites. I was pleased at how easy your site was to use, in addition to all the options and of course, the price.

So far it is wonderful but I've got to continue further to see if it is all that and the cake and ice cream at that time I should give 5 Bright Shining Stars!!

I have yet to use the on-line features. Still deciding if I want HIPPA files out there. I don't know where your servers are located, but if they are outside of the US then I'm concerned about where and what the privacy laws of the "domain" country are. I ran into this issue years ago setting up some legal files. All servers were required to be located within the US.

I love the product and help via chat has been great... I love the product and help via chat has been great but it would be nice to have some training videos to help me get up and running with the product. This is my busy season and it slows me down having to chat for help a video would be so much nicer. Thank you for a great product.
