The form I filled in was for a Medal of Honor recommendation for a Vietnam vet. The format and help with the form was clear and efficient. I had to come back and modify it, and everything was smooth and easy.Thanks for a very professional tool.

Immediate refund received I had thought I had cancelled my subscription so was very surprised to get a notification from PayPal that I had been charged $96. I immediately contacted pdfFiller and the matter was sorted out, and a refund received, within a couple of hours. Friendly and efficient service, with no arguments. Very impressed.
