AWESOME ALTHOUGH I THOUGHT I WAS GETTING A FREE TRIAL BUT NOTICED I WAS CHARGED $83.88 ON 5/6/14. DISAPPOINTING BUT IF I HAVE IT FOR A YEAR? I'M OKAY BUT YOU SHOULD BE AWARE. THIS COULD BE A PROBLEM IN THE FUTURE IF IT HASN'T ALREADY. BAD BUSINESS.

Very helpful, how ever when I searched PDFiller for this exact document, it was unable to locate it. I had to go on line and search for the document download and up popped PDFiller with the doc. I could not find on my accounts search.

It would be much more efficient if multiple copies of the same form were filled automatically with the information entered on the original. Completing the documents should be quicker and simpler, no reason one has to play with font size and trying to pin point the location of the mouse to ensure proper destination in the field of entry on the form.

Excellent application, very smart it detects data entry fields and allows to add text to PDF document. So far I'm very satisfied with this application.

It's not as intuitive as I hoped to use the mobile apps, and it seems there are many steps to doing the main process which led me to purchase PSF filler--uploading and emailing HIPAA related documents that I've photographed. I'm sure there'll be a learning curve, however, so I am still hopeful. With two helpful and timely chat guidance, I was able to resolve my problems with scanning and uploading photographed documents quickly. I still wish the mobile app allowed me to rename the document so that I wouldn't have to fiddle with it later in the browser app, but am happy with many other features at this point.

Look no further than pdfFiller! As a person 70+ years old, new programs are usually a challenge for me. However this was not the case with pdfFiller, it was so easy to click on the area and type and being able to alter the text size to fit was a bonus. I highly recommend this program and can vouch for customer support who are there to help.
