Would be nice if you had a feature that would allow you to duplicate an image or header type across multiple pages in a file. If it is there my apologies, but I could not easily find it.

I found this program very user friendly. I am grateful for being able to do my tax forms and get all the information I need on this site. I would highly recommend it to anyone trying to make since of tax forms.

It was the worst because I had no idea how to work the program. It took well over 5hrs for something that should have taken less than 5 mins had a I known what to do
2018-06-06
The product is excellent, but very expensive for an occasional user. I paid a lot of money just to download two documents. Surely it would not be difficult to categorise number of forms required, and a calculated price accordingly? I will probably not require another form for 12 months or more. Unfortunately, it leaves a bad taste in the mouth.

PDFfiller is a great tool for having documents signed on PDFs!
Overall, I am super satisfied with PDFfiller and will continue to use.
What I like most about PDFfiller is how easy it is for myself and clients to sign documents. This is one of the best tools I have found to edit.
I do not have any complaints at this time regarding PDFfiller. It has been a lifesaver for myself when I need things signed!!

It took a like while for me to figure out how to do what I wanted to do. But once I did, I was able to create the doc I needed. The part I liked best was the guidelines to put the fillable boxes in line with the other boxes in the document.

Ryan on the Support Team was extremely helpful and patient. He walked me through all of the steps to complete the form to my satisfaction. Thank you Ryan for teaching me!
