Would like to have available stand-by the form I am working on. Have to use the same for different companies and each time I start a new one, have to go back and search for it.

I would give it five stars but honestly it is a lot of money per month for me when I rarely use it. That said, when I DO use it, it is a massive time saver. I love the signature features and how well the filler integrates with every form and contract I have used.

Its "the perfect" software. Easy to use without any guess work. It's hard to find a product as simple as this one in today's market. Thumbs up to the folks who created this.

What do you dislike?
Sometimes difficult to switch back to doc
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
I've been able to recreate documents into templates and this way it is easy to fill out when they are used repeatedly. I also like the signature part makes signing docs very handy. I haven't used, but am excited about the notary part that was added.

Great Product! There are many companies that can only access documents in .pdf format so we can edit the documents and send them efficiently using PDFfiller. It takes a while to learn to edit documents properly.

Glad to have it. Wished i didn't have to reset with every entry. It should assume you want the same font until you tell the program to change. Gets tedious to change for every number on the page.
