I've often wished I could fill out information on the screen, not just print off and then fill by hand. My handwriting is really scratchy and hard to read, quite unprofessional. The PDFfiller has been an answer to my prayers.

What do you like best? I like how easy it is to use and all my documents are automatically saved. This has increased my productivity so much being able to combine documents and have people sign. What do you dislike? There are a few steps to save, print, or download to your local desktop which can be a little time-consuming. But I also appreciate that it verifies with you that the correct function is happening. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? The ability to edit and few pdf documents. I really like that pdf's can be combined and shared. There's so many functions of pdf filler that is so helpful to help me be more productive.
