I have had to upgrade twice to professional and just did again so I could use the features. Billing does not show that the upgrades were put in place.

I have used a couple of the other apps and I believe that the PDFfiller is the easiest with very self explained instructions. I love the fact that the mobile app is just as user friendly as the app on my computer. Thanks

What do you like best?
How easy I can manage PDF documents (fill, convert to an Office document, and signatures). I'm very glad!!
What do you dislike?
Nothing, it's easy to use and fast. I recommend this tool to anybody.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
I work in a Legal Department and we review a lot of contracts on a daily basis. Most of the documents came in on PDF format, so using PDF filler to convert the file to an MS Office is easy.

Use PDFfiller for my PDF editing and signing needs I use it quite often and it has made my life much easier. PDFfiller provides a lot of functionality for a low cost compared to other solutions. A few features were missing when I first started using it but they have added functionality and it's much better now.

Multi-step forms out-perform single-step forms. Remove all non-essential fields. Use conditional logic to shorten your forms. Top-left aligned labels are best for readability & completion. Avoid placing questions side-by-side. Give people a reason to use your form.
