I have been a short time user. I downloaded a document; tried to then sign it, which was ok, but when I downloaded it did not pick up the entire form; all preprinted matter on the form did not download to the email I sent. Tom

Works great Works great! Less expensive than the full version of adobe, but wish it was a one time purchase. May not continue after the trial period due to cost.

Don't let the name fool you, it does so much more than allow editing I use pdfFiller to sign agreements when I'm traveling and don't have the version of Acrobat where you can sign, on my computer. I actually like pdfFiller much better, because it allows me to edit things that Acrobat does not. I've utilized several of the templates that have been very well laid out. I was pleasantly surprised to see all of the templates and formatting options that are built in to pdfFiller There is really nothing not to like. I don't use some of the features, because we don't need them, but I can't say it's missing anything or has any issues.
