I'm just beginning and not sure I'm using it correctly. what I'd like to do is to be able to simply use the icon in my internet task bar to open the account rather than have to open up pdffiller.com

I found this program on the internet when I needed something to fill a need. I used it and still have some questions as to how and what I can do with it.
2017-10-16
I use PDFfiller to create and sign military and employment documents. It is fairly easy to use. I love being able to save docs to my Google Drive. And the electronic signature is awesome.

Works fast and easy
Works fast and easy, great service!I had signed up very briefly to edit some pdfs for work. The program worked smoothly, but then I foolishly forgot to end my membership, and was billed for a years' worth of their service, which I did not need. Their customer support was top-notch and had my problem resolved in just a few minutes. I'd recommend them for anyone looking for a company that is responsive to their customers.

Good
The accessibility is great and the look of the forms ones the user completes it is superb.
Accessibility is great and the convenience is amazing. I would recommend this to anyone in a business setting.
The monthly cost, but I like the fact that you can renew at any time. This program is cheaper when you pay for multiple months.

ease of use could be a little better
The signature feature is wonderful. Tabbing around the form is easy. It makes signing documents very convenient instead of having to print them out and sign and fax or send back.
It seems like each time I try to do something new, it costs extra. Example is signatures. Only holds 3 signatures.
2017-11-15
It was easy to use however I believe as a snowbird they should have another way to fill out the 8840 without having to sign up for this form filler. As it turns out we tried to fill out on line and the signature part wouldn't work. We ended up printing out the form and filling it by hand and mailing it in.
