PDF Filler makes it so easy and efficient to complete any document. I will never go back to handwriting, it's just a lot neater and clearly stated with PDF Filler.

difficult to sign and other parties not knowing the software, I feel I need to be cautious. Too costly for a novice one time user. Overall, it has been helpful. thanks!
2015-12-15
I use PDFfiller for electronic signatures and it has an easy system to integrate with my google drive letters.
I used another company before switching and I love the easy usage I have found with PDFfiller.

What do you like best?
PDF filler is very user-friendly. My favorite features are that it saves your docs. This makes it easy to keep editing docs that you use over and over. Also, when you use the erase feature, it keeps the eraser on the same line, which I could never do on my own! At the end, you can download the whole doc, or individual pages, this feature really helps and saves time on splitting the document with other programs.
What do you dislike?
Once docs are ready, the loading time to save can sometimes feel slow. Also, uploading the docs can sometimes feel slow. This is not a deal breaker, but perhaps something that can be worked on. I think there should also be a feature where you can upload docs one after the other for the same session, and it will merge the docs (or ask if you want to) and edit them together. It seems right now we have to edit each separate if they are not already joined, save them, and then go to another program to merge.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Have an option to merge docs, make speeds quicker.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
When I get contracts, most of the time they are not complete to be approved. This allows me to add extra details and even sign the docs. I like the stamp it adds to show when the signature was made.

Satisfied customer
I had my free trial with the company but found that it was not for me. The payment had been taken out of my account. I contacted the company and with in minutes I had a reply and my money was refunded to me. I am retired and do not use my computer to its full extent. If this experience is anything to go by then I am sure everyone will be satisfied with the company. Thanks to everyone for their help.

I really like the service a lot. It is user friendly and intuitive. I like that this also comes with Sign Now so that I can have all the forms I need for my business easy and accessible for me to get electronically signed.
I would give it 5 starts except in the Sign Now program the program should default to the text box for people to sign and then have the live signature be on a separate tab, so basically reverse what it is now. It is hard for some people to get to the text box for them to type their signature.
I use this all the time in my business and I would recommend it.

How to Reduce Excel File Size to Under 100 mb
Reducing the size of your Excel file to under 100 mb can help improve its performance and make it easier to share. Follow these steps to reduce the file size:
01
Remove unnecessary data: Delete any unused worksheets, rows, or columns in your Excel file. This will help reduce the file size by removing unnecessary data.
02
Compress images: If your Excel file contains images, you can compress them to reduce the file size. Select the image, go to the 'Format' tab, click on 'Compress Pictures', and choose the desired resolution.
03
Remove hidden data: Excel files can sometimes contain hidden data such as comments, formulas, or formatting that are not visible. To remove hidden data, go to the 'File' tab, click on 'Check for Issues', and select 'Inspect Document'. Choose the options you want to inspect and click on 'Inspect'. Then, click on 'Remove All' to remove the hidden data.
04
Reduce formatting: Complex formatting, such as conditional formatting or cell styles, can increase the file size. Consider simplifying the formatting or removing unnecessary formatting to reduce the file size.
05
Save as a different file format: If reducing the file size using the above steps is not enough, you can try saving the Excel file as a different file format, such as CSV or XLSB. These file formats are generally more compact than the default XLSX format.
06
Use external tools: If none of the above steps help in reducing the file size to under 100 mb, you can consider using external tools or software specifically designed for compressing Excel files. These tools often offer advanced compression techniques to further reduce the file size.
By following these steps, you can successfully reduce the size of your Excel file to under 100 mb and optimize its performance. Remember to save a backup of your original file before making any changes.
