This software seems to be nice and easy to use, im still working my way round it. I was looking to send a form to be returned filled in. Looks like this should be easy enough. I will keep my fingers crossed.

PDF Filler is a must for me!
I love it! As a small business owner who strives to maintain a professional business image (website, business cards, etc.) , PDFfiller does just that for the proposals I create for my customers ... both future, and repeat. I know for a fact my customers appreciate the quality and professionalism of the proposals they receive from me - they've told me so! Thanks PDFfiller!
I love the ability to quickly, and easily, create/copy professional proposals for my customers. I then save each file as a PDF (with my logo embedded at the top left of each document), and attach via e-mail for completing my estimation process with each customer.
The only thing I've discovered is with the particular template I use for my particular proposals - my template has an area that indicates "Page 1 of _" ... well, there are no additional pages that are affiliated with my template, so I end up either having to re-edit to ensure my entire proposal fits into "Page 1", or I have to continue additional pages outside of PDFfiller.

Really wonderful app
Really wonderful app! It gives you the possibility to edit every element of the PDF you need - from the text (with its exact font) to images and more. I`m really very satisfied with it!

Easy and convenient
I usually use free apps because they're free, but this program is worth the money. I do a LOT of paperwork on the daily, so this makes life much easier.

Perfect for College
I've been using this for my online math course worksheets and this has been so helpful. It's easy to type and draw, editing isn't annoying, and the color palate is easy on the eyes.
2022-09-07
It works well in that you can fill out the form, but it would be great if you could move the text box once you've started. I was unable to do that and had to start over in some cases because alignment was off.
