No issues once I contacted the support department who answered my questions. I understand that you are in business to make money on a service. I just felt it was costly for a piece of paper or two that would cost me 10. Cents at a FedEx or Office Max type business.

PDF Filler Signature function is great PDF Filler is pretty good, the ability to edit pdf's is always good but I have found the Signature copy function particularly useful over the standard PDF tools.

A must have!! This is a must have for anyone that uses PDF's alot. It can save you a ton of time. This software is awesome, I love that you can take any PDF and alter it. It is easy to use and comes in handy. I wish this software was more set up like Word, as in the features and where things are located. Some of the features are hard to find.

The best PDF converter Excellent. My current job is as freelance translator, and sometimes my customers send me the documents in PDF. for me, it's easier to work with WORD format. You can convert any type of file into editable one. In case of scanned PDF, it doesn't work.

What do you like best? PDF Filler is extremely easy to use and navigate. I've never experienced any lag or difficulties in using the software. Signatures are easy, dates are easy to inpute. What do you dislike? You don't get to really choose where files are saved when you download them. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? I've been able to easily fill out and save consolidation agreements, settlement letters, and anything else that I need and don't have time to print out and sign just to have to scan it in. It's definitely a time saver!
