PDFFiller responded to my concerns and moved me from inexperienced to competent user status. They promote a feature that pulls PDF files from your email to your account - looking forward to learning how that works.

I am enjoying using the software and finding it helpful completing my VAT forms, I wish you could tab along though from column to column rather than use the space bar. It's a good piece of software though.
2016-10-21
can be a little tricky to set up at first but I do love the ease of having a form filled out and emailed rather than printing, hand writing and then scanning to save to the cloud!

VERY EASY TO USE PLUS ONE SUGGESTION
VERY EASY TO USE. THE ONLY THING I THINK NEEDS TO CHANGE IS THAT WHEN I SAVE THE DOCUMENT, INSTEAD OF SAYING IRS FORM 940 (OR SOMETHING CLOSE TO THAT) I THINK THE YEAR OF THE FORM THAT WAS WORKED ON. FOR EXAMPLE: IRS FORM 940 2019

i app works well once you find the form you need. I'm having a problem creating new forms or updating existing ones with new information while saving the old ones.

I love the product
I love the product! Its a god send working remotely. I can sign forms, password protect documents with personal information and email them in an instant.

The software could use some updating. It is not the easiest to edit the document. The app also kept crashing on me and I had to start all over again. It was very frustrating.

We use this on an annual basis to prepare our tax docs for our Church employees. Great service and they are always willing to help even when its a user error. thank you

This app is not flooded with ads and/or private tools as far as I could check
I just needed to merge stuff and this website (didn't know it, it just popped after a simple search) showed me tutorials for all the tools they have to make my documents complete and personalized as needed. I am here because we live in an era where an app that does not flood you with advertisement and charge your for each tool available calling some of them 'premium' or 'plus' or 'pro max' is RARE. I want to be explicitly thankful about this. Useful for the purpose of being useful. Didn't believe stuff like this existed anymore.

What is an alternative to PDF?
XPS is as yet the most serious alternative to PDF that has come to market. You can find more information about XPS here. That page also contains a comparison between both file formats.
What is difference between PDF and JPG?
JPEG is generally a graphic image file whereas a PDF is a document file. This is the main difference between the two formats. This is simply because JPEG is a compression method. Moving on, a PDF file preserves the original layout of any document but also leaves the different parts of the document open to editing.
