Love the concept and the ease of working with documents. Had a little difficulty with submitting payment but one of your online folks (Anne) searched and assisted. All is good!

It made a nice document. The only thing that is challenging is that you have to go line by line instead of having an option to change more than one line.

What do you like best?
Its user friendly and efficient! It makes all of contracts much easier to implement. It saves all of your information online so doesn't use your memory.
What do you dislike?
Fax option could be updated and better. I am a notary, but it would be much better if this option was more efficient as well for other people.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
I am readily able to save documents and fill them out online copy and re-create new documents from previous ones. It is user friendly. I can send them to multiple clients at once for signatures with e-sign option.

Super helpful Super helpful, I am on maternity leave and this makes it easier to get paper signed and filled out to my employer. So I am able to add my newborn to my insurance.

How PDFfiller helped me PdfFiller has saved me alot of time and money, I've used PdfFiller to sign documents for work and get them signed. Navigating through the software is easy, it allows you to not only upload the document needed to sign but email and a host of other different options which would definetly come in handy for those who are not tech savy and up to date with using the internet that well. Pdffiller has been not only a life saver but a time and money saver too. It is great for people who may not have to sign alot of documents or have to especially with the trial thats offered. I would highly recommend trying the program out. I love the fact that PdfFiller is easy to navigate and it helps maintain formatting which is very important to the way people retain information and it keeps it just as it should be. PDf also allows you to implement watermarks and digital signatures which are very viable in the business industry. I also love the fact that software allows you a free trial so if your not satsfied your not obligated to stick to the program. I cant really think of any cons about Pdffiller its very easy to use and worth the price.

It works - one problem I found though is that after I scanned a document with the Adobe scanner, the document was locked with password not allowing it to be opened by the person I sent the document to. I didn't seek that extra security so I basically don't know where it NOcame from.

Actual Customer Support I sent a question in via their form, and honestly expected a "word search" systemic response. Not only did I get a issue-specific response, the corrective actions were clear and documented with screen shots, making it easy for me to correct my mistake and move forward.

PDF Filler is a great tool for me and my business. However, more fonts would be nice rather than the few that are available, around 10 or so. Also, if I can use art as a watermark instead of just script, that would be amazing. Otherwise, PDFFiller gets the job well done.
