I had a 20 page form that I had to complete. I scanned the document into my computer and used PDFiller to complete it. Well done!

I am finding it helpful indeed. I haven't utilized all of the options yet. So far I like it. The mobile app is far more difficult to use than the website. Doesn't quite sync with the different cloud websites for transfers into the app.
