Positive review It is so much easier to get my scholarships done. I hate writing on my scholarships, so I was having to completely retype the application which was taking time from me filling them out.One suggestion would be to do a student discount, like in my case using it for scholarships. A way to do this could be they have to enter there school and get a school code from someone and then that could verify they are a student so the company is not getting taken advantage of.

This morning my subscription to PdfFiller was automatically renewed. Once I realized it, I notified the company to cancel my subscription and to provide a refund. Within a short time, I received a response confirming that the subscription was canceled and that the charge was reversed. I would definitely recommend this company and would use them again if I had a need.TL

What do you like best? I can copy, save my files and print off the site to get my 1099's and if I like I can email my workers this for the convenience of saving the stamp. What do you dislike? sometimes its hard to find a certain item I need but with the Help Chat they found it very quickly for me. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? I use the site for my 1099's and used it once for a Bill of Sale item I sold.
