It appears to be a good program and I intend to use it in my business and practice. One of the problems that I see is that there should be clearer explanations for some of the fields.

I originally downloaded Adobe Flash Player thinking I could make my own PDS I was wrong it was I'm no help. Just by doing a simple internet search. I came across your website it's amazing. It does everything I needed to do and more so happy I found it! I'm a landlord and now I can send applications online and fill out leases online so convenient.

Loving the tool. It would be great if you could add an eye dropper feature so that if I alter text or numbers that are over a color background I can erase the copy fill in the area with the original background color and then revise the copy over the background fill

Application is predictable and user… Application is predictable and user friendly, easy to handle. Most forms available within the website or easily finds them. Now when I need a form or fill one of mine documents I know is a done deal. Highly recommend PDFfiller.

It is my alternative for quick editing of pdf documents I edit PDF documents quickly It's software is quite intuitive. It is easy to handle. To fill out forms is great. Also to add the signatures to the documents Once I wrote to technical support and I'm still waiting for an answer. It's the only negative I can say. In the end I solved the problem I had in another way

What do you like best? I like the fact pdf Fills stores and keep my documents in order! I like it's easy to use, and it comes with a fax!! I am very pleased that I can send a fax, and I am able to submit report! Also, it come with live help that is an excellent feature! What do you dislike? I dislike the wait period of 30 minute if I forget my password! The systems doesn't seem to lock in my password. I believe I have changed passwords maybe 3 times in under a year. Recommendations to others considering the product: Try it! The price is good! The service is good! I have spoke with tech support a couple of time because I got locked out because I forgot my password and made to many attempts, so that's an excellent feature! You can also send faxes, so that's good. I will look to renew my subscription again! It's a good product! What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? Well because of pdfFiller, I can send pdf files to coworkers and present files as needed! Before pdfFiller, my pdf files were not accepted by my supervisor and staff computers, but now, I can send pdf files with no concerns using pdfFiller! With the company working from home and folks using different systems/computer it's good that pdfFiller documents are able to be received by all my coworkers!

Ways to Reduce Excel File SizeRemove unnecessary worksheets, data, and formulas. The number of worksheets and the amount of data contained in an Excel file are directly related to the size of the file. Remove formatting. Remove Pivot Cache. Save in binary format (. Compress the file.
You can quickly reduce the size by saving it in LSB. LSB files tend to open and save faster than XML file. Based on the limited tests I did, LSB files were opening and saving 25%-50% faster. This difference is noticeable in large Excel files only.
