PDFFiller is a great tool! I have been very happy being able to fill in documents without having to print the document, then handwrite the answers on the document, so I could then scan it back in to my computer to send it off via email.

I received some paperwork that needed to be signed and sent back to sender in a timely manner. PDFfiller was the only way I could do this. I had no access to a printer or fax machine. I'm trying to learn all of the use of the PDFfiller. I am currently trying to learn how to download some of my saved papers and sign them, then send them out. I forgot how I did it yesterday.

The fill in is with text boxes like in word. That works well. It worked well. Not as good as a PDF document that already has input fields but much better than printing the PDF document and filling it in by hand,
