PDF filler has worked for our business through out the year and would highly recommend it. We mostly use it for fax purposes, but for us that alone is worth what we pay per year.

PDFfiller is simple and easy to use. It gets the job done. Easy way to have paperwork signed. PDFfiller makes the documents look very clean and keeps me organized. Also it is not hard to figure out how to use it. The customer support is amazing too. There are no CC options when sending out a document for someone to sign. I hope PDFfiller creates that feature soon.

Great for Work! Great for work, especially if you deal with a lot of documents, forms etc. Good for making templates, stitching documents together, creating packets, getting forms out for people to fill. Great that you can fax your documents right from the web interface... makes life a lot easier.
