Really easy to use The web interface is really easy to use. The "wow" feature for me is that you can setup a default signature and copy and paste it on documents as you need. This has saved me from losing time with some legal documents I need to sign while I'm away.

Overall pleased, have a bit to learn for my use which is limited home tasks. I believe that initial access problems are resolved. I am sure that I could more easily accomplish the basic tasks that I have for PDF. Not pressing and I can fumble my way thru it.

I signed up for their services during a free trial, but ended up not needing them. When I realized I had been charged for their services, I immediately emailed them and they processed the refund right then. I offered to pay for the few days that I actually had since it was really my fault, but they refunded the full amount.

Fill out, sign, and send in no time Overall PDFFiller is a necessity for all organizations that have to sign and send documents in a daily basis. It is definitely worth it every penny. The thing I like the most about this software is how easy it makes it for us to fill out forms, sign them and send them to other recipients. In my job, I have to be constantly filling out employment verifications and with this software, makes it extremely simple. The price at the beginning was a bit high for us but all the functionalities make the price worth because of all the actions it helps me to do in seconds rather to find it different software to complete the same task.

I am not computer techy I am not computer techy - and I have been able to figure this out to do what we need. I am sure there are features that I have not figured out yet - but I stay very busy @ work so doing a webinar would be tricky to schedule.

Bates numbering is a method of indexing legal documents for easy identification and retrieval. Each page of each document is assigned a unique Bates number that also indicates its relationship to other Bates-numbered documents. Bates numbers appear as headers or footers on the pages of each PDF in the batch.
Bates stamping is the process of applying a set of identifying numbers to a document collection of PDFs to label and identify them. You can use Previewer to apply a Bates stamp to documents even if you don't import them into a case spreadsheet. You can define Bates number sequences.
You can apply Bates numbering to documents. Bates numbering is especially useful for labeling document collections with sequential numbering, for easy identification and retrieval. To learn more or try for free WordPerfect Office, visit www.wordperfect.com.
Bates Numbering, also known as Bates Stamping, is an indexing method used for legal, business and medical documents (PDFs in most cases). This is accomplished by assigning specific identifiers (numeric or combination of letters and numbers) such as case ID numbers, dates or company names to each PDF page.
Use the Envelopes and Labels option from the Tools' menu to create a sheet of blank labels. In the top-left label, type the word Exhibit, followed by a space. Press Ctrl+F9. Type SEQ and a space. Type a name for this sequence of numbers, such as “exhibit” (without the quote marks). Press F9.
