I was given forms from the VA but they were copied crooked and there was very little space to write. I am glad that I found your site. I was able to get the forms complete them and turn them in nice and neat.

Great support from the team, especially Kara Over two days I talked to several agents. Kara was able, with great patience and time commitment, to solve my problem. Anything I have paid for the program and year subscription was was worth the service I got. I hope she is recognized as the best! Thanks to the program but most of all to her. Great job!

I have been trying to cancel my… I have been trying to cancel my subscription for months. One of the problems is that I can't find the account. I have tried all of the email addresses that I use and can not find it. I have sent emails and wrote tickets trying to get some help but have recieved absolutely no response. I am paying $50 a month for a service I am unable to use or cancel. I was able to finally talk to someone who helped me find the email the account was under, canceled it for me and refunded the charges. The whole thing was quick and painless and I got the best possible outcome and that gives the 5 stars in my book. Thank you pdffiller for taking the time to hear my problem and helping finally find a resolution.

Easy to use, great price Easy to use, fantastic tool for editing pdfs and drafting up invoices. I work from home and the interface is nice and easy and straightforward, especially when there's no one around to ask other than myself! A very reasonable price too. I'm very happy with the service provided here.

What do you like best? That the application makes editing documents that can be difficult to edit in certain formats simple. What do you dislike? I dislike that there are some formats that this application cannot edit. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? Solving the problem of editing time documents that get distorted in Google Docs or Microsoft. The benefit of being able to cut major time from editing projects by utilizing the many features.
