What do you like best? The best thing is simply how it works. So many forms that need to be filled out and they are sent in formats that don't allow that. pdfFiller fixes that problem. What do you dislike? I haven't really found anything that I dislike. It's a great software. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? I do private consulting for government contractors and we have to finalize a LOT of Non-Disclosure Agreements. pdfFiller makes that a snap. Also we have many forms that have to be executed and it would be so difficult without this program.
