What do you like best? I love that you can store your signature in the program. Also much more professional look over using a pen to fill forms. What do you dislike? The extra level of security when logging in slows you down a little. Its probably actually a good thing as your forms are stored in the system Recommendations to others considering the product: I have tried to figure out ways to fill pdfs without signing on to this system, it was a foolish waste of time. I am not the type of person that signs on to programs like this, I always felt like they were scams. I am so very happy with this program, I wish that I had signed up for this much sooner. I am not even using all of the features of this program and Its totally worth every cent! What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? When companies email me a form that needs to be filled out and returned, pdfFiller makes it so much quicker, easier and more professional

What do you like best? The dashboard is intuitive and for me the best thing is being able to sign documents. What do you dislike? The application is good but has limitations versus the competition such as file size and not having the scanner tool on the cell phone. Recommendations to others considering the product: In my opinion, a multilanguage tutorial is necessary. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? The biggest benefit is being able to sign documents from a distance.

Highly recommend Highly recommend! This is an awesome site/resource for pros and newbies alike! Being new to all things graphic design related, I have utilized PDF filler several times to help with my projects *at no charge! Unfortunately, I lost my “real job” due to CoVid, so, at this time, I’m not in a position to pay the (very reasonable) annual fee to utilize all of the amazing benefits/features. BUT - as soon as I am able, I will happily do so. I was also really impressed with the Customer Service team. They are extremely professional, helpful and respond quickly. *side note: I almost never post recommendations (good or bad) but in this case, I felt the exception was well deserved.
