Found the forms that I needed and that were only available in paper in my area. So great to be able to fill them out online, check the information for accuracy and print when everything is in order. :)

It popped up along with a State of FL form that I needed to complete. I'm annoyed that they didn't tell me right from the start that you could only use it with a paid prescription.

4 starts because of great chat support but some features I would change. Like when filling out fillable form, I don't like how the instruction window follows you through the entire document. Most other online forms don't have this because they assume the form is self-explanatory. The feature is cumbersome, like dragging around dead weight. Anyways, that is my input.

I like how easy it is to use, and how much guidance it offers on how to save and find your documents once you're done. You can easily control where you want your filled information to go, and your documents come out looking professional and polished.
What do you dislike?
There is nothing so far that I dislike. It's very easy to use.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's easy and you can learn how to be successful with it instantly, and get right to work.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
I receive documents all the time that need to be filled out and without full Adobe Acrobat, they were impossible to work on until I got PDFfiller.

What do you like best?
What's there not to like? I mean this is the best application I've ever had for making changes to docs, signing docs and editing docs.
What do you dislike?
Nothing! I really enjoy this product and I think it's priced fair as well!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Please try it! You won't be disappointed!
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
I have 2 companies that I utilize one billing system for. PDFfiller allows me to edit the logo and name on the invoice to reflect the 2nd company. Saves an enormous amount of time and confusion for the clients that belong to both companies.

I love the PDFfiller, I find it very easy to use. It is making my newsletter each month alot easier to create. I am able to erase words that I don't need & put in the ones that are easier to read. I have some PDF's that are very light gray print and don't copy very well. I can take out the words that are too light & replace them with clearer, larger, darker letters. It is easy to go back to change anything that is not what I want.

Ryan was extremely patient and persistent to solve the issue Ryan was beyond patient with me to solve my issue. I really felt like he was determined to have me understand the instructions he was giving me towards the solution. He used a few of approaches. One of which was sending me a visual with arrows.....That worked!!!! His patience and persistence is refreshing and truly appreciated.
