I think it's very useful but expensive and the basic subscription does not seem adequate to perform some of the things needed at that initial level for that cost.

I am so pleased with the cost and features of PDFfiller. Today, I just learned that it has an online search function as well! Quite enthused about this!

I would prefer that the fill in templates be free of charge. The one used is great and I would hope to find another one as such. Easy to use formatting and site.

Successful Chat Support Kara helped me locate a document that I could not find after downloading it. What a relief! I was extremely worried because personal information was on the document. Through the chat support feature, Kara guided me in locating the document in my account (which I didn't know I had), moving it to the Trash, and then permanently deleting it.
