The interface has improved, but it is not perfect. I chose PDFiller because of its simplicity. I love that I can use it anywhere without having to install it in every computer I use. I wish it included a crop feature or the ability to modify the page size. I also wish we could delete previous files with the same name so that there is no confusion. There are several other little things, but these are the top major issues I've had.

It took just seconds to send my agreement for signature. The customer experience inspires confidence in the security of the transaction and gives a good impression of my company. It is far better than the old - email it, print it, sign it, scan it, email it, "did you get it?"- approach.

What do you like best about the product? I would say what is most helpful is being able to edit all PDF, and it is simple and user-friendly. Works quickly and is very cheap. I would definitely continue to use it. What do you dislike about the product? Honestly nothing really. I have not had any issues with the software. I guess it could be a bit cheaper, but for all of the different capabilities, I think it is a great price. What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you? The problem of being able to edit and fill in PDF without creating an entirely new document, or having to write it in and scan it in, definitely has helped my business
