It's a great program that's easy to use. It makes documents appear professional by enabling me to type in then instead of write by hand. I will definitely be renewing my subscription. Plus, the price is affordable.

I am glad to have this service available. The use is a little awkward ... hard to navigate between pages. Wish it was easier. I do like the ease of accessing and saving documents from the website to my computer.

Best tool with advanced features - PDF Filler Add, edit, share & highlight option in one application. Easy to use and must have application if you publish documents frequently. If you work on PDF files daily it is a must have application. It handles PDF files and let you edit and add content very easily. - Easy to use tools - Add text, edit text, highlight, notes etc. many features in one application - No watermarks which makes it easy to edit and share. It is working good till now and not found any such cons in the application. Conversion of files do takes times and using advance features needs a pro in that. It gets slower with big files.

It is my alternative for quick editing of pdf documents I edit PDF documents quickly It's software is quite intuitive. It is easy to handle. To fill out forms is great. Also to add the signatures to the documents Once I wrote to technical support and I'm still waiting for an answer. It's the only negative I can say. In the end I solved the problem I had in another way

Searching for specific wording in a .PDF file My request for assistance with an issue I didn't know how to fix was answered very quickly and I was back to work. Unlike most support with other software companies where you wait 3 days for a response requesting additional information then another 3 days for a response and usually goes on and on. pdfFiller was right there and stayed with me until the problem was solved. Anyone dealing with .PDF files and not using pdfFiller is losing out.

great product, "home" and "end" keyboard keys slightly buggy All is great except that when im typing in a text box and click the "home" or "end" key on my keyboard it sends me to the beginning/end of the entire document instead of the beginning/end of the text box itself.
