It was confusing at first but once I worked out my own bugs it worked very well. Filling out multi formatted forms are cumbersome in changing the markings needed.

There have been a few times I have been frustrated because I can't access my documents. Get an error message but other than those 2 times I am extremely satisfied with it

PDFfiller Overall, this product is good and I would recommend it to a friend. Like it over Adobe. When I played around with the trial, I liked how you had many options and the program layout was nice. Love the ease of use when trying to alter a pdf. I wish I had a longer trial period and sometimes I could not save a file causing me to save over the original file.

Excellent Customer Service I contacted the customer service team of pdfFiller when I had a problem and it was dealt with straight away. I spoke to someone called Harmhon and they were really kind and understanding. They replied to me very quickly and the problem was resolved in less than a few minutes. Overall, I am very happy with the service and would definitely recommend to a friend.
