A little confusing at first but once we got the hang of things it was okay. I wish there were more options for fonts and placement of wording and graphics but overall okay

Don't quite understand how it works as I am not a computer person except to do genealogy, and write. One cannot operate a computer without it. At least this is what I'm finding out. It all seems automatic, I would like to know more about it's function, Why's and what-fores, instead of just logging on and it appears. All I know is that it is a major function for downloading photographs and some documents. There should be a tutorial offered to those who are senior citizens and so many things are automatic. It takes understanding its function to a non-software-computer person. Guess more instruction would help.

After looking for alternatives to Adobe Acrobat, it seems that PdfFiller is the best offer in the market. It covers most pdf tasks and the ability to access your pdf online is a huge plus. In addition, mobile and desktop apps available allows extra flexibility.

A good all rounder for filling pdfs and signing forms pdfFiller is a useful tool that lets me fill, sign and send client contracts I like being able to add text to pdf forms, then email,download or print the completed forms I have to be honest, it's a bit clunky and takes some getting used to

kara was great kara was great. I am an older computer geek who never got into such things as screenshots. Not only did kara patiently deal with my problem but she also helped me with her request of a screen shot. i have 2nd and 3rd level support at ibm on global WAN's so i have an appreciation for what Kara did for me. Please give her kudo's and preferably a raise for dealing with an older computer geek

This is a great service This is a great service. Easy to use. Easy to upload, edit and share documents you need others to review. Also extremely easy to fax and there's even a service to mail the document within the U.S. from your computer from anywhere in the world. Highly recommend it.
