I used this service once and had to… I used this service once and had to sign up for a subscription. I didn't need it more than once, but I signed up anyway. I decided to cancel the subscription before the free trial was up, but I didn't complete the process so my account was charged. I contacted the email address included in my Paypal receipt and the team was very responsive and they took care of the issue immediately. I think they should make it easier/more clear on how to cancel, or not require a subscription, however, it was useful and the customer service was efficient.

Once I located the source of the transaction at PDFFiller, they were able to advise me and resolve the problem. They have been very friendly, professional and helpful throughout. Thank you PDFFiller.

What do you like best? I love that you can use one of their templates, or upload a form of your own to complete! What do you dislike? I haven't been able to find any cons yet! What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? I have clients that need medical claim forms sent to insurance companies (they keep their own books). I can enter in the info and go!

Its ok. It would have been nice to know that you would request credit card info before being able to save or print your document. Thats bad faith and almost akin to blackmail, considering a Govt agency has you approved as a trustworthy company to handle sensitive information.

A file that contains data made up of ASCII characters. It is essentially raw text just like the words you are reading now. Each byte in the file contains one character that conforms to the standard ASCII code (see ASCII chart). Text editors such as Notepad create ASCII files as their native file format.
The easiest way is to do a File > Save As and choose Plain text. Alternatively you can copy and paste your text into Notepad (you will find this under Programs > Accessories).
Select File > Save As, and then. Name the file your-name-resume.txt (or whatever.txt), with. (In Notepad), Text Documents (*.txt) selected as the File of Type or as Safe as Type
