Love this program! I am new with it, but it makes my paralegal position ( I do public benefits advocacy) much easier in filling out forms that are not fillable on the Social Security website.

I am just learning about this program. So far it is easy and appears secure. I have initially been using the redaction/ blackout feature for several PDF files that I am sending to a client and it has been very effective. I am impressed with the "save" feature in that it allows you to save the edited file in a different format, I.e. Word.

Quite simple and handy to fill. I would have preferred using my own signature on the completed form but I had difficulty loading an image of my signature.

PDF FIller was an answer to many questions. Our business is an industrial maintenance business. We have had to use PDF filler several times with applications and insurance documents. PDF filler made it easier. We liked how they explained everything we needed to know to fill in applications and other papers online without having to scan and download everything separately. I always thought it was my computer that was the problem, but with PDF filler, it doesn't matter what software is already on your laptop, you can work with any documents. Sometimes I would go duplicate a step in saving the document, but after a couple of documents, it was easy to figure out what I should do.

Fill PDF easily Filler software for life with the best features available to fill out pdf documents anywhere and anytime. The google docs addon save me a lot of time to fill out pdf's online and sending is easy after editing. Easy to use cloud based pdf editor which enhance productivity while I am working. They don't have all language support. They should add more language support.

An Efficient Time Saver It is easy to update the documents with some features of a Word Document. However, there should be more variety in the fonts and I wish it didn't change the original/all font when I edit part of it.

What do you like best? It is very nice this system can send documents both invoices or signatures in this way everything can be done digitally and pdf preventing others from editing such an important document PDFfiller I love because it allows you to organize each document and send the information in addition to analyzing each file to avoid typing error, be it names, date, price is very complete and I like it. What do you dislike? In circumstances the sending of the invoices does not reach the clients correctly and this damages our punctuality, I do not know if it is a failure of my characteristics or it is a system failure, it is a point that hurts, and support is in solutions to that only I must mention this problem, although it is not usual, compared to the rest, the software offers pleasant objectives. Recommendations to others considering the product: I have no point or drawback regarding the system, it is for this reason that the characteristics that they already offer us are sufficient for the objective that I need, which is to send invoices to our clients and in this way receive a response through those same emails, whether positive, Negative regarding the comments of the users, however they have been very positive in the response of I see that it is pleasant and saves us a lot of time editing and sending in other software with PDFfiller is done in a single system. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? The work is much simpler because now we only have to send the invoices to the clients and PdfFiller does it automatically, in addition to checking them through any emails, all the design and editing of each one of the invoice remains and does not It varies so it is observed from other PDF tools, in this system the design and shipping is done directly in the software so it makes it easier not to have to wait for anything additional to send to the clients, I am happy because it worked wonderfully and time saving is superior and adding some simple features.
