See for yourself by reading reviews on the most popular resources:
Mostly user friendly. Filling in multiple of the same form is not available, or finding that option is impossible. So I used same form over and over - using tab you also have to back space or use mouse to remove previous data and then fill in.

Really easy to use once you get the hang of it. I am using it frequently, especially on State government forms that I previously would have done by hand before. Thank you.

PDF filler has been a true hero for me and my daughters competition projects and has placed first! It is very easy to use and convenient! I love how there are many options for fonts and sizes and how easy it is to print the document and save it! Sometimes when I print out the documents it is really tiny and hard to read. This is the only con to using this product that I can think of.

Great to use especially working from home I have been working from home and Sarah PDF has been trying amazing. It is very easy to use and the way I am able to merge my documents and download them is great.

What do you like best? The ability to edit almost any part of a pdf has saved me on countless hours of retyping a document for one minor change. The interface is very easy as well What do you dislike? The only improvement I would like to see is the ability to remove sections (cut) and move others into the opening. I may be a novice and this ability does exist, but if it does not, I personally would find it beneficial What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? I am able to correct sentances, paragraphs or simply small typos. The ability to adjust those without redoing an entire document is an amazing benefit.

Immediate refund received I had thought I had cancelled my subscription so was very surprised to get a notification from PayPal that I had been charged $96. I immediately contacted pdfFiller and the matter was sorted out, and a refund received, within a couple of hours. Friendly and efficient service, with no arguments. Very impressed.

What do you like best? Easy to use and effective. PDF Filler has decreased the amount of redundant work for me. What do you dislike? Sign now sometimes has a glitch and I have to redo the task What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? Tracking documents. Customers say "I didn't know" or "I didn't get it", I can view the audit log.
