I am happy with PDFfiller for the most part. It is a very good editor that makes a normal document look sophisticated. My only complaint is the price. 15$ a month for this? I mean it is a good editor, but 175$ a year is to much for me. Overall, it is a great app for editing with a great package of fun.

Think a bit pricey, but for what it offers it is highly recommended. SUGGESTION: Add a once off option - I only use it occasionally.
