Very handy application for filing in multiple similar forms. It's easy-to-use and can be accessed from whatever machine I happen to be at.... like I said, very handy.

Generally very good. When you print it saves first which I don't want it to do and "Save As" does not allow you to rename which is not right. Other than that, it does what you want.

PDF Filler is intuitive to use (easy buttons). The one add I would like is to be able to edit signed documents and initial the edits...currently signed documents are Read Only even to the originator.

it has been hard getting back to my document, probably because an icon has not popped up on my screen and the form is not in my laptop document file. it's not letting me add lines to the lists though that might be a hard lock in the form. However the section instruction's say that you can add. Mostly I have only used PDF filler on this complicated form and am learning by trial and error.

I think this is the most user friendly app and the customer service experience has been outstanding. I have MS and am computer challenged. Thank you for making my life a little easier.
