It is a little difficult to figure out how to load an existing form with the saved name. I also had to Google how to enlarge the font. Most of the help directions are outdated, but I did finally figure it out after a lot of wasted time. I DO like the program in general and love being able to convert and save in a different format.

It worked great with one exception. On my form the lines that I highlighted did not highlight everything in the printed version. Other than that, it worked great.

****** from PdfFiller is Excellent!I needed to cancel my service for the time being for financial reasons and they handled it kindly and seamlessly with no hassle. Should I need this type of service again, I will definitely be back. Would recommend PdfFIller to others. The service itself is intuitive and helped me easily provide my on boarding information for my new job.

I think you should ask me this again in… I think you should ask me this again in another month. I'm very new to using this, and far from computer literate, but so far I am finding it very easy & extremely useful. Thank you! Lisa Marie

I've just been persuing the many option PDF Fill offers regarding editing pdf documents and everything is clearly labeled, explained, and easy to use. I love the level of freedom and opportunities to customize almost every aspect of the pdf. They offer templates and make it seamless and very practical to make any form a pdf, and the attention to detail in providing you additional features and options to ensure quality presentation is awesome.
