Pretty easy to use...so far. The only thing that concerns me was I didn't realize I had to pay for this until I had finished filling out a complex form. How did i miss that information at the beginning?

I had some initial problems (undoing things and a pop-up overtime I used text boxes). Customer support representative Ellie guided me through it and was able to resolve most of my problems. I still wish I could use the text boxes without the pop-up though. I believe at this time it is not possible.

It popped up along with a State of FL form that I needed to complete. I'm annoyed that they didn't tell me right from the start that you could only use it with a paid prescription.

Mostly I am thrilled with this service I didn't know I needed... until this week... and I needed it twice!! The form MC 030 was glitchy when it came to cut and pasting and editing the comments section. My only complaint.

Great app! I use it fill out and sign forms online. Before PDFfiller, I had to download, print, fillout and then scan completed forms to retain a digital copy.

This program is the best viewer and editor of PDF files that I found online and free. It is a utility or extension that we can add to our chrome browser to open directly from our inbox, those files with PDF format, without the need to invest great efforts in downloading and installing heavy programs that deal with that work. I mean, it's so light that its discharge is super fast. Once the extension is installed I must refresh myself mail, I believe that this work should do directly the inclusion process of the extension in chrome. It is hardly a detail if we compare it with the great advantages that this product offers us.

Ny experience was good but I only have a need for the... Ny experience was good but I only have a need for the form I used maybe once a year. So I will probably be canceling my month to month once I am sure the form I needed has been accepted. It would be nice if you had an option for a subscription that was based on usage rather than on time. I might then sign up for a longer term commitment if I wasn't being charged every month but rather on my usage. My experience with your product was that actually filling out the form was user friendly but it was a form that had a continuation sheet and figuring out how to use several continuation sheets was not intuitive and I ended up filling out several different form continuation sheet pages and then had to combine all those multiple forms into one document in order to get what I needed for submission to the court.

Do you want to know how to reduce your Excel file size? First, audit your large Excel file. Tip #1: Remove conditional formatting. Tip #2: Crop each worksheet to its used range. Tip #3: Remove unnecessary formulas. Tip #4: Compress pictures in Excel. Tip #5: Clear data formatting. Tip #6: Delete watches.
any reason why you're holding that much data in excel and not in a database? 150 Mb XL workbook is not that large these days — to open efficiently in XL first set Calculation to Manual and ForceFullCalculation to True — then if you want to use Python follow the suggestion of saving it as CSV.
Navigate to Data >> Get & Transform Data >> From File >> From Text/CSV and import the CSV file. After a while, you are going to get a window with the file preview. Click the little triangle next to the load button.
It happens many times that we import data in Excel file for temporary use but forget to remove it. This increases the size of the Excel file. To reduce the size of Excel file identify the data that you don't really need. Delete those ranges and save the file.
Navigate to Data >> Get & Transform Data >> From File >> From Text/CSV and import the CSV file. After a while, you are going to get a window with the file preview. Click the little triangle next to the load button.
Avoid Volatile Functions (you must). Use Helper Columns. Avoid Array Formulas (if you can). Use Conditional Formatting with Caution. Use Excel Tables and Named Ranges. Convert Unused Formulas to Values. Keep All Referenced Data in One Sheet.
