I love it. I will definitely renew when the time come. The Military offer me a free site for forms filler but I can never open it on my personal computer. I have to use it on the government issued computer.

It's easy to use, I do like it; but it is a little expensive, $80/year is a lot. I use it maybe once or twice per month. I think you would have more customers if it was less expensive.

Great Program with pretty much all you need This is a great program and I'm able to do what I want to so far. The only reason I did not give 5 stars is I think it is a little expensive for the service and it's not really user friendly I would think if you were not pretty computer literate. Outside of those two things...IT GREAT!

Sign it! In general is a very good option to fill and sign documents. I did not buy the paid version because I was in need at the moment and it worked perfect for me. I like the easy to follow process of this software. You dont need to know how to use it. As soon as you start filling any document everything march along the way I did not see any cons because I was able to resolve my needs with the free trial. I would hesitate to pay for this software if I need again.

What do you like best? It is so easy to learn how to use the app I am not strong on a computer but this made me look like a pro. What do you dislike? Having to answer something I have not found yet everything has worked great Recommendations to others considering the product: I would tell anyone looking for an pdfApp this is the best and easiest I have found to use. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? Erase and retype over words has been a great help. Its quick and Easy to use.

Perfect Perfect, I tried using the government website for this form and half the fields did not work, from now on I will use government forms from PDF

It works well in that you can fill out the form, but it would be great if you could move the text box once you've started. I was unable to do that and had to start over in some cases because alignment was off.

This is my first time dealing with PDFFILLER! There were some issues and they quickly assisted in resolving the areas in question . I would recommend them to business professionals and someone like me that has a periodic need for administrative documents.
