What do you like best?
No more printing and filling out forms by hand.
What do you dislike?
I used to be able to upload a signature from an iPhone photo, and it could be placed on a document in a way that it look like it was written there, and not a pasted photo. I liked this and cannot seem to do this anymore.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
It's amazing how many forms still need to be filled out by hand in this age of tech and no typewriters. Printing documents, hand writing, then rescanning to a recipient is messy, time consuming and wastes ink and paper. Besides, make a mistake, and you need to start over with a new form. And don't get me started with "white out." PDFiller streamlines all this and results in a very neat, professional looking document. I do lots of contracts, and don't always get red-line drafts to work with. I can use PDFiller do do red-lining (word-processing changes to early drafts) and send them right back to the counter-parts. Then with the final draft the PDFiller signature feature allows me to initial or sign, and send - again without printing/rescanning. Since for many transactions e-transmitted signatures, as opposed to "wet" signatures, has become standard and legally acceptable the process is now a breeze. And if I still have to go back for further revisions the prior versions are all saved in PDFiller.

If you wish to modify the data on which the chart is based, you also need to unlock the data cells. You can then enable worksheet protection again, but retain editing rights to the chart and data. Click the “Review” tab in Microsoft Excel and select “Protect Sheet” from the Changes group.
Select the cells you want to chart, including the column titles and row labels. These cells will be the source data for the chart. From the Insert tab, click the desired Chart command. Choose the desired chart type from the drop-down menu. The selected chart will be inserted in the worksheet.
By default you cannot resize the chart by dragging the edges, you have to change the page borders in page setup. But another page setup trick is on the chart tab off the dialog, select the Custom size option. The chart sheet is still linked to the margins of the page, but you can resize the chart within the sheet.
Click the chart. Click the Design tab under Chart Tools, and then click the Select Data button. Click the data series you want to delete. Click Remove.
Right-click the sheet tab at the bottom of the screen and select “Protect Sheet.” Highlight an area of the worksheet you want to protect.
